Cinavia only affects content played from 'Physical Media' -- Boxee can't do this bcz it does not support optical drives -- so any file/rip/container that comes from Cinavia protected content can be played on Boxee without Cinavia issues - bcz it's not coming from a hard (physical) disk

I beleive it would also effect any media player that decided to implement it. From my understanding it is not limited to DVD\CD but would also apply to a Blu-ray backup someone made to HDD.

For example if a player had Cinavia enabled and the user decided to play a Cam RIP from the interwebs, if Cinavia is enabled it wont play. The Ps3 for instance cant play any rip that has cinavia enabled.

I dont hink many media players have to worry, but it may start being a requirement of the Blu-ray Licence, which would make many of the interwebz people turn their back on the product .

Agreed

I have 3 of the 4 above listed Cinavia affected content as BD rips, and no issue at all in playing them back as files (so far) on 3 different media players

I also have a Panny home model BD player that has a firmware version that's a couple version old -- and I'm not about to let it update, knowing that most likely at some point, it will install the Cinavia protection

So far I'm Cinavia resistant

Even though Cinavia is an audio embedded protection, I'm pretty sure someone will 'crack' it's affect in the near future - think AnyDVD

I don't know if anyone experienced this also, but I get ALOT of Choppy playback when playing Cinavia coded movies.. for example SALT released by FLAWL3SS is very choppy on my boxee box. Is it because it has Cinavia protection?

No - Cinavia causes the loss of audio approximately 20 minutes (or more on certain videos) into the media and a message pops up on the screen saying "Audio outputs temporarily muted. Do not adjust the playback volume. The content being played is protected by Cinavia and is not authorized for playback on this device. For more information see cinavia.com"

It's only enabled when Cinavia protected media is burnt to physical media and played back on certain optical drives in which the firmware is Cinavia enabled

That should not be the issue. I have no problem playing the SALT BD ISO on my Boxee Boxes.
