Re: Why so much money?

said by jc100 See Profile :

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 with an rental i can copy it then play it back anytime i wantall for only 3.50

or for 5.50 for an HD rental
