"the industry aren't even bothering to offer it in a format that's compatible with one of the best media systems out there"

Not only are they not supporting it, the content & rights owners are probably looking on with interest at prosecutions of people who sell hardware loaded with 3rd party software, rather than going for those who actually make the materials available. If it is an offence to provide something that someone else could use for an illegal act, without offering proof of specific illegal acts, then shops that sell knives will be in trouble sometime soon, as will car dealers, certain garden supplies companies, telephone manufacturers, and so on. Alternatively, the law is not just an a$$ but a very lazy one.
