DRM is an issue because it's what keeps the file a temporary rental, and not a rental priced permanent file.
Digital download services already have two tiered pricing for movies. DRM is the only distinction between the two that determine if the file is a temporary rental, or a higher priced "purchase."
Anyway, I find the argument kind of pointless anyway because as of today, there is no service offering 50GB downloads in under two hours at consumer prices (or any price depending on where you're located). Download quality is "great" if it can match HD cable, but is not the same quality of BR-D.
And the most important point: I'm watching BR-Ds today. Right now. All the big releases. New ones constantly being released. Plus all my old favorites looking and sounding better than ever before.
Why would I keep waiting indefinitely for network speeds to catch up? It happens when it happens.
It's not even an issue until BR-D becomes defunct.
