This Cinavia and other copy protection stuff is really ticking me off. First of all, I have the actual Blu-ray. I was attempting to watch "To Rome With Love" on PowerDVD 12.0.2118a.57. I have the disc in my Blu-ray drive. I get the inital loading screen from the disc and then it stops with the following error:

CyberLink PowerDVD cannot play back the protected content. - (Code = 0122)

I disabled the 2nd monitor so only one was hookedup and that didn't make a difference. I killed all background apps as well.

It did play with AnyDVD HD, but as you all know, that doesn't bypass Cinavia.

I am 99% sure this is not a hardware issue. Other discs play just fine, even others that also have Cinavia.

I do not pirate or copy movies. However, I've found that having AnyDVD and other tools has become a must when it comes to watching Blu-rays on a PC due to software bugs, incompatibilities, etc. These copy protection schemes are just getting out of hand for those of us trying to be honest.

I am on Windows 8 in Desktop Mode.
