As long as there are pirated copies of movies being made, you can expect DRM. Average estimated loss to the movie industry is in the billions per year. If it was my product, and I needed funding for my next movie, I would not want my shit stolen. Renting and burning is also a problem. If you think that renting and burning is alright, you are an immoral person.

 

Seriously, just stop act like you are taking the moral high ground.  Movie studios equate "loyalty" as a prisoner would equate "dropping the soap" in the shower. 

You know what I do with some of the money (thousands of dollars) I don't spend on movies?  I donate it to an organization which helps Chinese orphans every year.  So it looks like you are the terrible person now.  Being a slave is good for no one. 

And watching a movie in theaters helps the actors and directors moreso than buying the DVD.  Otherwise you are just lining the movie studios pockets.

Actually, I do volunteer work for United Way and donate 2% of my paycheck each month to the United Way.  They are one of the best organizations in terms of overhead costs because of volunteers such as myself.  90% of the money donated to them is used for charity work.
