Actually ownership of said DVD gives you the right to: Make legal backups (not to be shared) View privately within the confines of your home Watch said DVD on multiple mediums etc DRM = Can't make legal backup Often limited to number of devices one can play it on Cannot make hard copy of said movie Don't get movie inserts, booklets, and extras Hummm which would you rather pick?

Probably the same one that I do...the physical media. Personally, I don't understand the draw to iTunes for movies given the lack of cost advantage.

jc100 join:2002-04-10	Yep/ Thats what I was implying. I'd rather own a hard copy for nearly the same price than a protected version with half the benefits. (DRM, MEDIA LIMITATIONS, NO BOOKLETS, CASE, ETC)
