2 edits | what's the point of this? How about I rip the DVD and encode it to a better quality xvid myself with no copy protection?
Sounds much more fair to me.
This is what people feared three years ago... the fact that you'd have to pay again to play something on other devices when there was no technical reason for it.
This is awful, I hope no one stands for it.
You lose the choice of what format and quality to encode at, you lose the choice of being able to do what you want with what you get. You lose freedom by buying into this. There's no good reason you should have to pay twice for the same thing.
I agree that if you bought records, you shouldn't get a bunch of free CDs so your music will work with newer systems. But that's not to say that you shouln't be able to rip media you have so you can watch it on the bus or something.
