Ok say you BUY these movies and your Ipod goes out. Are you able to redownload the movies for free or you have to pay for them again?
If it was me i would rather have the DVD and uploaded it to the Ipod then, i have a hard copy of it. |

You can't download your iTunes songs (well, once, but you have to ask nicely) if you lose them, so I would imagine not.

I have tried to see things from your point of view, but no matter how hard I try, or what I do, I just can't get my head that far up my ass. |

Hmm.... let see... you have one copy on your PC/Mac and one copy on your iPod. I would say that's more of a backup plan than most people have. So if your iPod bites the bit then you still have a copy on your PC that you can sync your new iPod with. |

What happens if your hard drive fails? Are you able to burn a copy to DVD? But whats the point. Low grade dvd video. |

But whats the point. Low grade dvd video. Someone might. And if your HD fails then you backup from your iPod. Low grade DVD video? Better than VHS or VideoCD. Some people may be okay with that. The lower resolution TV shows that they've been selling for a while now have done very well. And what's to keep someone from backing up the video to DVD to later transfer back to a computer? As long as the other PC is authorized you should be okay. |

Answer would be yes. If you are wanting to watch them on the computer later, without having the ipod to watch them off of, it would be seen by most as a way to keep them available to be able to choose and pick a selection when you travel.

If the world is fine with the disgusting pixelized quality Directv offers, there will be more than happy with this, I would bet that cat in your icon that people would actually think the quality is better.
Remember this is H.264 we are talking about not some Sorenson Video 3. |

Rule #1. You download it.
Rule #2. You don't own it.
Rule #3. Watch it.
Loss, deletion, hardware failure, etc, is the viewer's responsibility.
You are paying for Instant Gratification.
That is why I like Netflix. I get decent selection, and if timed properly, I can get movies at about less than $2 ea. And no late payment penalty (that comes out of the increase in movie cost-per-return rate).
Apple's idea is not new. Just backed better with cooler toys. I am more intrigued by the iTV thing. I mean, if someone hacks it into a DVR or Slingbox-type of thing that allows iTunes to convert a DVD to a media file, and wifi through home to iTVs, well heynow! Ofcourse my PC and Xbx360 do that now.
BTW, I wanted to see a 30G NANO. Samsung has the chips since May. Give me instant-on Nano-pod. No delays. Fast on and fast off. Nice screen and 24hr battery...not bad. But someday...maybe when Toyota get's off its collective, arrogant arse and starts making iPod interfaces in ALL their cars (not just some Lexus models) |
