Meanwhile downloaded movies carry no warnings at all and can be played on any device without fear of DRM interference. It's difficult to imagine why people are turning away from physical media!

It's astonishing just how clueless these people are. I can actually understand their fear of the internet and such like, when you're on top then change is probably going to be bad for you - but to stick with pre-VHS mentality is just speeding things up.

DRM, unskippable crap, any restrictions that come from anyone other than the techs saying it's not possible - these are all encouraging piracy.
