Google Play Blocks Rooted Phones From Movie Rentals

This isn't a huge change from Google's old policy but with Google's continuing integration of it's media offerings and active support of the modders by OEMs, you would almost think that Google would show them more love. This is, of course, an attempt on Google's part to help combat movie piracy but by denying users with rooted phones access to Google Play's movie content, I have a feeling they will only force people to turn to pirating their favorite films and TV program. Just remember uTorrent for Android is just around the corner!

So, even when they go international I still can't get a movie. When will they ever learn that copy protection does not stop piracy. It creates additional piracy.
