This is the exact same conversation that I had with my brother. I told him all of these things but he refuses to believe. No one wants to watch a movie on their computer. I mean, most computers are at a desk, with a chair. When I watch movies I'm either laying in bed, or on the couch. (Yes, I am a lazy american). And the whole broadband cap thing will happen too, since it's happening in many other countries, and downloading two to five gig movies will put a serious hurting on your cap. Also, you don't have to leave your couch, but with the DRM, you can't take your movies with you, also, you can only have them for a few days before they are digitally deleted. On top of that, lots of collectors like having the Special edition sets, or box sets, and what would happen to those? Can you watch the whole series of Star Trek in 7 days? While living life? Can you even watch one season of an episode? While you work, go out, sleep, have a life etc? No. Unless some serious changes happen, it will be a long while before digital distribution ever becomes close to the mainstream.
