DRM Blocks Avatar Showing

Attendees at a 3D preview showing of Avatar (maybe you've heard about it?) in Germany yesterday were left in the dark when the movie’s DRM ‘protection’ system failed and the video could not be decoded.

The complex DRM system, which involves several certificates and server-delivered time-sensitive keys for hard drives and projectors, failed [...] after working for several hours cinema workers failed to decrypt 150 gigabytes of data, which resulted in at least one location reverting back to the 2D version.
