Warner added that whether a TV show or feature film, it will only play
on the initial computer used to make the download.

So when buy a new computer - or perhaps even just upgrade certain parts
of your current computer your collection will be effectivly rendered
unwatchable and useless .

Movie downloads will be about the same price as a dvd .

Would you be rather pissed off if you bought a new dvd player and you
couldnt play your dvds ? .

It's a joke and I find bittorrent does the same thing without all the DRM
***.

"Oh, but bittorrent is wrong and immoral" says the moral brigade.

Well, make the legal versions cheap and free of DRM *** and then I'll try
one.

Same reason I hate iTunes. I pay for the tracks and then I am told that the
number of copies is limited due to piracy concerns - ignoring the fact that
if I wanted the music for free I would not be using iTunes in the first
place.
