If the studios are concerned about copy of rented disc they should either only put copy protection on rented disc or put a special marker on rented disc so software can know when it is rented.
Then there will be no excuse for trying to by-pass that copy protection since it only appears on rented discs and you do not own it so you have no reason to copy it.
The issue is that the Supreme Courts years ago says that consumers has a right to copy music/movies for their own personal use and RIAA et-al are trying to circumvent the court with the use of DMCA etc. DMCA should only have been used on documents/Media that the consumer has no right to copy.
I think until consumers takes a stand and insist that their rights are respected we will always have people like these that force our rights from us. At some point we must say that we will not buy movies/music from these Cartels until they respect our rights.
Look at every industry that these kind of abusive association exist, OPEC, RIAA, MPAA. enough said.
