Copyright issues



In a nutshell: I purchased a second hand copy of the movie 'Thirteen' and
attempted to play it through Window Media Player. No dice: it tells me
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because a problem occurred with
copyright protection."

This is not a pirated DVD or anything of the like, it is the official
release of the movie, with a widescreen and a fullscreen side. The special
features worked fine, but the main movie refuses to play. That goes for the
fullscreen AND the widescreen version.

Windows Media Player has not been at all helpful in the matter, and directed
me here. Ridiculous.

However, here's hoping someone can shed some light on how to fix this issue.
I've never had any problems playing DVDs before, and this includes many
rentals and other 'previously viewed' disks.

As a matter of interest, I did have to manually search for it to get WM to
display the DVD info, I suspect this might be the root of my problem.
Anyway: suggestions, thouhgts, comments?

Grealy appreciated.
