hey folks,
You know, news like this makes me want to apologize for even trying to explain that DRM is right and we should be fair to both the user and content maker / distro.

Quote:
Films will be available to download the same day the DVD is released. Consumers will get the film in three formats: two digital files available for instant download -- one for a PC or laptop and one for a portable device -- and a DVD copy sent by mail.
...
They will be priced from £19.99 ($35) for the latest releases to £9.99 ($17.50) for older films. Downloading a film will take between 40 minutes and an hour.

Oh great! Like this is going to woo the crowd. And its not as though the downloads will be available before a DVD release. So what is the impetus for consumers to rush online to buy it? *bum*
It's folks like them that makes Steve Jobs seem like a real genius!
May I quote Scar, the bad lion in Lion King, "I'm surrounded by idiots" ... is this how Steve feels?
