This sounds plausible, although i would heavily complain
towards the seller if i ever found out. There is few chance
i would step into this puddle when recording and reading
own data.

Any good keywords to search for ?
All tries bring me to Macbook drives where it is hard to
distinguish between hardware and software. Of course if Apple
orders a shipload of drives with custom firmware add-ons,
then Matsushita will probably produce them.

There are whole online communities which have chosen
DVD cheating as their favorite sport. Something about:
"Matshita Flasher", a software without visible authorship,
and "RPC-1 good, RPC-2 bad".

Summary for now:
Apple-way-of-life. Not automatically updated unless possibly
if you run Apple's OS. DVD rather than BD.
Malware ? No. Unfriendly ? Yes. Legal ? I fear.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
