Re: Why so much money?

The original debate was between the benefits of "owning" an Apple iTunes movie and "owning" a physical DVD. Either way you need a DVD writer and blank media to facilitate a backup mechanism. What am I missing?

er..... you backup a DVD ONTO your EXISTING hard drive, so unless your hard drive is pitifully small, you get much better value for your money than iTunes DL:
Itunes: $15/download + a couple of hours download + extra DVD required to backup the download and hours of frustration trying to get past the DRM

DVD: About $16 + Copies onto existing HD + encryption (if any) easily bypassed (just use AnyDVD or something like that)

Decisions, decisions...........

Ok, so backup your iTunes library onto your existing hard drive, or even a second hard drive if you're that paranoid and/or don't want to use CD/DVD media.

You don't need to get past the DRM...unless of course you're trying to get outside of iTunes. Which if that's the case, don't purchase from the iTunes Store
