It says downloadable movies that self-destruct. I assume this will work with their new PSX which has the 120GB HD in it. Or download to a computer.
Though Disney is coming out with self destructing DVDs.
I did not RTFA before commenting; my bad. Still, if it is software based - it can be cracked. Either way. It sucks. Who knows if it's multi-directory splitting and joining file will corrupt files etc? Call me paranoid but if anybody wants to s**** with my machine it better be me and no one else! :)

Let's see: amazon.com is the next company to try to cash in on Apple's success at paying attention to what customers want, and also the next company to deliver a miserable "me too" failure of an experience. In a settlement between AOL and Microsoft, AOL is given the chance to include components in their consumer software designed by big business to further serve the interests of said big business. Sony, already excited by the possible cash flow in Bill Gates' standpoint that if consumers can be convinced that paying rental fees for everything even when owning makes more sense, will begin testing if most consumers truly are of average intelligence or less. Oh, and a large PC company - eh, forget it, you don't really care.

software embeded in files in the first step toward the unstoppable propagation of virus on the web (especially dangerous when the software is meant to delete stuff from the computer...)
