"Can"..., is not "required".
Current DVD's "can" be used in a DVD ROM to access additional content.
Certainly doesn't mean they have to.
"not only will playback of AACS-protected content not
require an Internet connection, it will never require one."
"Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game
because they almost always turn out to be -- or to be indistinguishable from
-- self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time."
