You remove the DRM on your desktop that has a blu-ray player and copy the movie to your portable device.
And even there the studios offer ULTRAVIOLET files bundled in with a lot of (most?) new releases. You enter the code and get a free downloadable digital version of the movie. All perfectly legal but only doable via DRM.

As long as content providers make reasonable provisions for the most common usage models there is not going to be enough outcry to outlaw DRM.
