Corona, CA | Size is a better at stopping piracy Size, not DRM will be more discouraging. All DRM is going to do is frustrate legitimate users. Pirates will always get around DRM eventually. Personally I think size of HD content (at 20+GB) will be more of a factor, slowing distribution, than DRM would be. |

Its possible in the manner of downloading/uploading movies of such size. An easier way is to simply trade dvd movie lists, trade X BD 20+gig for Y BD 20+gig movie, burn, test, then snail mail the swap very simple, very easy. In doing so more bandwidth is at one's disposal.
In the grand scheme of things, DRM will get cracked, DVD's will get traded, the MPAA still gets its azz handed to it. Now it will cost the MPAA more $$$ to lose on what was once cheaper for P2P'ers to swap before.

Corona, CA | That's true...you could just do it with Netflix or Blockbuster Online which rent Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs (if DRM was defeated). |

said by ColorBASIC:Size, not DRM will be more discouraging. Size was what discouraged people from downloading music back in 1999 when most of the country had dial-up. But internet connections became faster and more widespread, and now I can download a CD's worth of music in about 3 minutes instead of three hours.
Internet connections are getting faster all the time, especially with technologies like FTTC, FTTH, and docsis 3.0.
It may seem like it takes a long time to download a BD now, but when BD or HDDVD become the norm as DVD is today, 50mbps internet connections will also be the norm. And at 50mbps, a BD downloads in under 20 minutes.
