WB's proposed system is basically asking me to pay money to have my time wasted; it's about as far divorced from the reality that the rest of us live in as it's possible to be.

The reason I'd pay a nominal fee is that I DO value my time--I'd have to first teach myself how to strip the DVDs--I don't know how to do that. So I see the system as a way to save some time, if it's priced low enough.
Seems like it's the same as paying for a paper book to e-book conversion--I'd weigh the price of the service against the time it would take to do it myself.
