Looks like an attempt to get people to install DRM.  The apple with poison.

Q: Is the High-Definition feature (Disc 2) protected with any encryption?
A: The Windows Media movie on the ROM portion of this disc contains 
security features that require users to connect to the Internet to 
receive licenses for the content on the enclosed DVD. There is a 5 
day unlimited play license issued to users on the specific PC used to 
play the content. Consumers will be able to continually renew their 
license for 5 days at a time, according to the terms of the End User 
License Agreement (EULA).

Q: Who set up the DRM protection for the High-Definition Theatrical 
feature (Disc 2)?
A: Artisan Home Entertainment determined the specific DRM licensing 
rules that were applied. The DRM services for the content on this 
disc are being provided by SyncCast using Windows Media Digital 
Rights Management. For more information about the technology used to 
protect content on the disc, please visit the company's Web site at
