I had to laugh at this quote from a guest commenter:

"So I might be able to legally watch DVDs I bought soon? Awesome! ~ US Linux user, 2012"
Seriously, all most people want to do is freaking use the material they bought. They want to buy it and have it. End of. They don't want to regurgitate a purchase just because a new shiny player comes out next year.

There was one time where we borrowed a DVD from the library and the only media player it
listened to was the ripper! We had to copy it just to watch it! (we are linux users and watch all of our dvds on the dvd drive and the media player programs on our computer, we don't have tv)
