I dont think DRM is the issue. I think its the fact that you dont have a physical medium so to your minds eye the value isnt quite what they say it is.

For me, it's the DRM. I buy almost all my music on the iTunes music store. I don't want the CDs stacked all over my house or car, but I do want the flexibility of being able to rip a CD mix for my pickup that only plays CDs. Similarly, I like the idea of the Apple iTV, but I don't want to be limited to the number of devices I play it on. I downloaded the pilot to Friday Night Lights (free) from iTunes, and it's terrific, but I can't burn it to a DVD, so I can only watch it on my computer.

I really look forward to the day when a couple of terabyte hard drives don't cost much, and you can have all your movies on a hard drive and select them with the remote. However, I still want to be able to back them up and play them on other devices, just like I do with my music, now.
