A MacNN reader located in the U.K. reports that Apple's (which retails for £20) "times-out December 15th whether you just bought it or not." There is nothing on the Apple Web site to explain this behavior.

i just confirmed this. i was wondering why it stopped working over night when all i did was put my computer to sleep! now i know. just changed my system date to the 14th and it started working again. f'ers!
I know they had some licensing issues with MPEG-2, wonder if it will only affect UK users though.
As a US user I'm affected as well. :(

"My MPEG-2 Playback Component has stopped working. What should I do?
A new version of the QuickTime 6 MPEG-2 Playback Component is now available. This new version includes performance enhancements and is required for compatibility with QuickTime 6.3. As a past purchaser, you can download it free of charge through your Apple Store account. Just visit the Apple Store and click "Your Account" in the store menu. After entering your Apple ID and password, click "Software Download Purchases" where you will see a link to the QuickTime 6 MPEG-2 Playback Component. Click the link to download and install the updated version."
simple as that
i wanna do a chinease women, there so hot,
Typical Apple c***. No warning, do whatever we want company, s**** the customer company.
I just re-downloaded the new QT-MPEG2, and it doesn't work
Re-downloading is NOT the answer. Before you chastise our intelligence, you should be SURE you're right.
I cannot play my p***!
