As long as there are pirated copies of movies being made, you can expect DRM

Again DRM has not much to do with pirated copies. DRM doesn't stop pirates from posting movies on the net. You can buy AnyDVD HD from the net and it will strip every DRM from HD "premium" content.

So DRM is not for stopping pirates but for controlling normal consumers. If you like that being done to you have fun in your nice world.

 

I include copying rented movies in the pirating category.

 

Nobody is talking piracy.

 

I put all my DVDs on my external HDD so that I don't ruin the discs and so I can watch them when and where I want... I've never pirated a movie or song, ever.

In fact, I am the most anti-piracy person on this site and I am also anti DRM.  Because DRM hurts me, not pirates.

 

Your disc is the gateway that the company allows you to recieve their content.  The one and only gateway.  If they wanted you to have it digitally, they would release it as such.  Since they created the product, they should, and do have a say in how you watch the said content.  Putting it on an external HDD is illegal.  It is an unauthorized copy of their content.  You paid for the disc gateway.
