Yes, it's outrageous that they don't build in support for people who like to steal movies. It's like the vending machine at work...they prevent it from accepting counterfeit money! I mean, what the hell's up with that? Damn nazis.
Incidently, I didn't pay Apple for any of the movies I play through my Apple TV. I have 300 DVDs converted using Handbrake, and they work just fine.
As for Google TV, it does look interesting, but it's doing something completely different from Apple TV. Google TV is trying to sit on top of your cable/satellite plan, while Apple is trying to replace it. Google TV's primary model is to be built into TVs, starting with Sony sets. I'm not even sure it lets you stream content from your computer - at least I don't see anything about that on their website.
