The DVD example goes back to one of the fundamental disagreements/misunderstandings about digital products, and one of the arguments we keep on having in many forms - the difference between what you can (legally) do with a physical object that contains some copyrighted material, and what you can (legally) do with copyrighted material that you have access under the terms of a license.
I wonder if the upcoming generation, so-called "digital natives", will get this distinction more easily?
