I specifically said movie-buying consumers, which has nothing to do with amazon mp3. Music is a very different animal than movies. Notice their Unbox service isn't doing that well.

The tools to copy Blu-Ray content to my hard drive might cost $125 today, but 3 years from now there will be dozens of freeware tools to make it happen. I can't see TB flash drives becoming reliable or affordable before that time. Nor do I see a need for that ability before then.

Also, I don't understand your continued contradiction. First, you argue that if Blu-Ray doesn't let up with the DRM, you'll switch to lesser quality download only rentals (preferably through a service managed by Microsoft).
But when offered a free lesser quality copy of the movie, with the purchase of the Blu-Ray, you cry foul.

I'm happy to accept free lesser quality copies of movies I buy (and despite what you promote, the digital copies can be copied just as easily as DVDs and Blu-Ray movies).

I don't find it acceptable to pay for lesser quality content, knowing there's something better out there.
