But it would be totally unnecessary service if not for the DRM that they themselves chose to use.
The only reason there isn't an incredibly easy-to-use DVD 'convert for iPod/iPad' option in iTunes is because of the DRM and the DMCA.
I think Ninjalawyer has it right. They're doing this token gesture to try to get DVD ripping removed from the permitted exceptions to the DMCA in the USA.
