    Default Can't Rent/Watch Movies while rooted

    So i just tried to rent a movie over the market. I went to play it and got "Playback not supported on rooted devices"


    That's not cool....anyone else get this or know a way around it?

    Google announced that would be the case before the movies were available in the market. It is to keep people from making copies I think.

    Work around that might work: Unroot. Watch your movie. Then root again.

    Make sure you have unknown sources checked. BTW, I have it and it works.

    So dumb. If I watched movies on my phone this would actually CAUSE me to pirate them, not the other way around.
