Because it's not obvious how to do it, for many people. Plus it is illegal to do so, even for personal use, in the USA thanks to the anti-circumvention portion of the DMCA (whereas here in Canada we've got the right to format- and device-shift - but not distribution rights, of course. The Harper government, however, seems to want to put us in lock-step with the USA on copyright issues... :/).
