I can't believe that the courts can't figure this one out. Why is it legal to buy a CD and transfer it to your computer but not a DVD? This doesn't make any sense to me. Do they really expect me to buy the DVD or Blu-ray of Batman and then also buy it on itunes so i can watch it on my ipod? That is just not going to happen, especially with everyone a little tight for money. As long as you own the DVD, I don't see why you can't do whatever you want with it, as long as you are not making copies and distributing them. It seems like the movie studios are getting really greedy. The movies are all ready making a lot of money and most these days are not worth the $10 ticket. Certainly not worth the $10 ticket in the theater, $20 DVD, and now a $20 Itunes download.
