I guarantee prices will drop if BD gets popular.

 That's why I'm sticking to standard DVDs for now.  As long as I still have another option to get the same content, then your right, I don't have to buy it.  When the studios eventually stop putting content onto standard DVDs, then there will be an issue for me.  

Heres where i stand:

on music= even though people may not buy a certain artist's album from a store, the vast majority of the individuals whom like the music will support the artist when they go on tour. which makes money for all parties in the music biz.

on movies and games: alot of money and time was put into the entertaining product you either see in the box office or on the store shelves. to cheat the creators and parties involved is wrong. they dont go on tour like musicians do to make money, they go to promote their product in hopes that you'll purchase it so they can make the money they invested in it back. the more people pirate these two forms of entertainment the worse off these art forms will be. forcing companies into financial trouble and then shutting down. selling their art by way of ticket sales and personal purchases is the only way they get paid. if we want to continue to recieve the high quality of entertainment we are acustomed to we'll support them by purchasing their product not stealing it.

If Bluray get popular of course the prices will drop.  Is this because of the BD+ DRM?  No.  In fact the DRM is a new expense that will have to be covered.  

Consumers don't consider DRM a selling feature.

 No, but the movie companies do. And so more backing from them, is better for Blu-Ray.

Exactly.  Someone please point me to a press release from any major label that says "Studies show DRM is working, piracy is down, so we're passing on the savings by lowering our prices!"  I'm sorry, but it's never going to happen. 

It all sounds like a non-issue to me.

Just because I'm bored and somehow or another you people got on right to pirate (Which really is illegal. If you can deal with that, fine, if you can't, well, don't. Musicians make their money from tours, movies still have people going to theatres and overpriced DVDs, and game makers tend to be paid a flat rate for their services on the game, fewer will be made if it's entirely pirated though)

By many of your definitions, piracy is wrong because you're not providing income to those who created the game, however for any pirated copy to exist, money had to be made to at least buy one copy (Unless they shoplifted etc). How is buying a used game any different than theft with that being your perspective?

The only point I dislike is the idea that the disc can control some feature on my hardware. That should be illegal and is the same mistake sony made with thier rootkits on their music cd's.

The good news is that Fox is going to support Blu Ray now because of this new security feature. Do you people read the bold parts or not? Movie studios like this move and they don't like that HD DVD doesn't have this feature.
