The sad thing is that most of the cheaper DVD units have codes/modifications
that can turn off the macrovision in the player and keep the picture still.
Most of the panasonic brands (like I own) do not.  Our TV is less than 6
years old and I see the picture bloom and darken a bit when the macrovision
kicks in.  Annoying; those that play by the "industry rules" get an inferior
product while those that would abuse the system get around it.  I haven't
seen a copy protection scheme yet that doesn't do this in some form on any
media.  Wished they'd stop dinging legit customers.
