Petition to stimulate adoption of Blu-ray Disc publishing

My friend Matt of WMAEUG.net sent me this. I don’t think he’s talking about pirating, but about being able to get Blu-Ray support in Pro Apps and other software.

I would like to recommend anyone interested in being able to author ‘replicatable’ Blu-Ray titles to sign this petition that hopes to simplify the licensing and especially reduce the cost of AACS copy protection implementation. It’s the only way we’ll ever see Blu-Ray support ‘officially’ in Apple’s Pro Apps, or in Adobe Encore DVD.

I’m behind disk authoring because I’m a movie lover who eats up the hours of extras on special edition releases – the same documentaries that are glaringly missing from digital downloads.
