Movies on Broad band to dowload

This may break the Movie rental if people that has broadband can down load the movies int their computer. then they can either watch it or burn it to a DVD or VCD. This may be a great idea but what about the movie manufactures. they get revenue when a movie is rented or watched. Will they still get that revenue if it is downloaded?

I am not exactly sure how many people would find it worthwhile to take a low-bitrate movie, stream it for recording under the potential conditions of frame-loss (dropped frames), only to fork up the $1 for the DVD-R, so they can get what would amount to the crappiest looking picture compared to a real DVD.

I'd much rather rent the actual DVD and copy it. No chance of dropped frames. No condition of lower bitrates.

Those downloads are full of DRM. it would be pointless to waste a cd on a protected format that dies within 24 hours.
