I haven’t heard about any problems with Disney’s movie’s being distributed on iTunes getting illegally copied or whatever.

Who would even waste their time to remove copy protection from crappy quality video like those from Apple.
People are crazy for buying low-quality DRM-infected garbage like that in the first place!

Digital distribution makes content cheap. Studios need high prices to produce and pay artists who work for the corporation and make a profit.

The problem is no one wants to pay any money for content if it is in digital form. Corporations will make content for other reasons the content will be free and only the best content will have an audience. For example. an animation company would create a TV show and distribute it for free to sell t-shirts of animated actors or stuffed animals for sale. Another example would be an exercise equipment comany creating a fitness video distributed free on the net using only equipment that they are currently selling.

The days of over-the-air broadcast are over. DRM will never work. Good content is viral.

The movie studios complain too much they need to just get with the times instead suing everyone and crying about it.

its funny to me how they even bother to put DRM in iTunes stuff. if someone is going to steal music they would do it over a normal P2P network. its not like copying an iTunes track is any less illegal than using P2P.

and Walmart can suckit
