Yea right the only reason i can see you crying is cause now you wont be able to rent the movie and crack the simple copy right and dub the dvd for 4 bucks (rental fee 2.99 dvd disc .80 cents)now you will have to spend 20 bucks on it to own it. Life is So Hard. Bunch of Babies :lol:
I agree that this is what most people do with current DVD burners and it's a legitimate concern for the studios to want to stop it. That said though, Gorkab is also right that consumers should have a right to make a backup of a disc they own to protect their investment. Perhaps the answer is to not make HD discs available to rent? Ooh, I know I'm going to get people upset with that mere suggestion.
