You'd better get used to digital rights management technology. Sony's is
the only game console burdened with it because the PS3 is the only true
console using next-gen technology.
I seriously doubt PS3 discs will be unavailable for rental, BTW. DRM is
all about secure information rental.

This is the future, whether consumers accept it or not. The MPAA and RIAA
have worked with every major software and electronics manufacturer to
ensure that the next generation of media will be totally locked down.
There will be no alternatives. OS X and Vista have low-level DRM layers.
Even the Open Source community is embracing it with Linux and the GPL
moving towards DRM support.
If DRM hurts Sony, it wasn't Sony's fault. Try blaming the criminal
pirates that caused the situation instead. If it weren't for Napster,
this situation wouldn't exist.
