I agree. Until the movie moguls guarantee to replace at no cost my copy of a movie if it is lost or damaged, I am unsympathetic to them. They are a bunch of fools, like the music industry, who instead of seeing a technology as a brilliant new way to distribute their material with essentially no packaging or shipping costs, they see something which must be crushed. Modern day luddites.
