Does anyone know why this is? I haven't bought any anime from NIS before, so I dont know if this is normal. But why is it hardsubbed? Seems kind of bizarre. |

it is the new trend in preventing reverse-importation
I believe bunny drop has it also |

I'm pretty sure "nonremovable" just means forced, not hardsubs. Licensed players wouldn't be able to suppress them, but most computer media players would.

you cannot legally take screenshots of bluray, so either way you are going to have to use techniques that some might consider 'sploitz'

I don't think taking screenshots of BDs is itself illegal in any way. Breaking the on-disc or HDCP encryption to do so probably is.

its not a law per se, but its an agreement sony has with the MPAA and is part of the bluray licensing terms.
all legitimate bluray players have the screen shot function disabled. of course, you can legally take as many screen shots as u want, with a camera and such. but breaking the software is illegal like shiroi said, which is what most people do - hence, you are all criminals! j/k |

The screenshot facility in licensed BD playback software has been disabled, since it was technically possible to screenshot every frame and recompose the whole film (how plausible I really don't know and rather moot given there are a lot of easier ways now but...)
The analogue hole still exists - while Digital HD connections are HDCP encrypted end-to-end you could still output in SD over analogue and capture that way without falling foul of the DCMA. |

Technically at least, you don't necessarily have to capture in SD via "analogue". You can capture 1080i HD video using component video and not be affected by HDCP protection. Whether or not this approach violates DCMA is another question. However, since using component video captures is not really "breaking" HDCP, it's probably an arguable issue. Personally, I don't think that anyone doing whatever they want to do with recordings they own, in the privacy of their own homes, and without distributing and/or selling copies, is none of any government's or corporation's business.
