Point taken on the convenience factor Lemur. I still question the distrust issue. Since you seem more knowledgable on this issue than I, do you think this is really an issue for Joe Blow consumer? I suspect it is more important to the younger, more tech saavy consumers though - a generalization, I know. I can't say I've ever felt like a victim buying and watching DVD/CDs, but am I just blissfully ignorant that I'm being taken to the cleaners by the industry?
