Re: Why so much money?

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?

But isn't it technically illegal to break the encryption on a standard DVD?

You have the same capabilities with iTunes stuff, so your "ownership" concern is minimalized.

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.

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)
