I have noticed that newer title blu rays are coming with Digital Copies, does anyone know WHY this happening and will it be happening with every movie in the future?
The DC is for people that want it on their micro portable player (ipod/PSP) or HTPC server (saved on the HDD of a PC/mac). Some studios think that people are interested in these stuff. As to what it will be, I have no idea, it might be a fad, it might go on, it depends if people with micros/HTPC servers are a large enough segment. I think studios see it as good because these are none-illegal copies and getting people used to legal managed copies (since you can only copy it once) could help with pirating ("DRM is not that bad since I can see that movie on my ipod and bring it with me, the original reason I made an illegal copy").
