DRM screwed the pooch. The more millions they spend, the more they lose. They just haven't figured it out yet. Sell it cheap, and let people rip it to home server (regardless of OS platform) and people will BUY the damn discs.
I don't have a problem buying media, I just have a problem with high cost (due to poorly thought out schemes such as DRM), and restrictions on equipment and software that can run it and what I can do with it.
Absolutely. When you buy something, it is YOURS to do with as you will. Period.
I buy the 5.50 DVD's that Walmart has like candy bars .... good price , not worth stealing .... they can make a profit but it's in VOLUME sales.
