So I haven’t spent any time looking into the whole Digital Rights Management Software area, however from a logical point of view why can’t we treat DVDs the same as software ? The package itself is cheap, its the intellectual property that we are supposedly paying the > few dollars for. Why not have a license key for the material and be able to download or order replacement copies or keep backup copies as often as we like. There isn’t a single DVD player in the world that wouldn’t have enough CPU grunt to check the license key. Really all thats required is an easy way to input the license key for each DVD with a 3D barcode technique seeming to be a good start.

hmm this has always seemed very short sighted by the MPAA since the world is moving to online media anyway, how will they stop copying then ?

If the price of a new DVD movie goes up higher, we will of course copy it from somewhere or buy a pirate copy, maybe download it. I live in a non-us country and those guys from the MPAA can’t walk in here and screw with our laws.

Also, many honest people buy a DVD and look it once only, should they pay for extended rigths then? And theres lonely persons, meaning 1 person view a film, that should give a discount, compared to a family father and the whole 5-6 some family views it together.

When the artists run out of money because MPAA guys and similar people have chased off every person on earth with high prices and behaviour regulation, the artists make their own distribution for sure. But until then it might be killing the artists income, that sort of behaviour to consumers, as we are many not doing illegal copies. One example is a trailer about stealing things: “you would’nt steal a car, bag, phone – downloading a DVD is stealing” haha – you show this crap to billions of people not stealing or doing copies. Might sue those “filmmakers” for brainwashing methods.

In trading school I learned that costs of a product is the first you make sure to get, then comes profit. Try investigate the cost of making a DVD, multiply with two and theres your fair price.
