There's no Proof b/c there's no product yet and so any of the
standards are subject to change up to launch, however, it HAS been
announced that the renewable copyprotection will require an internet
connection. It's NOT clear that this is a Sony-only decision as it is
seems it's a product of the DRM format, which has been adopted by
HD-DVD also. BluRay does have that other DRM in addition, though.
