Blu-Ray, HD DVD protection already cracked?

Now I can put HD and Blu-ray titles on my iPod! (hah)

Every form of content protection is going to fail just as this will fail, and I'm glad. Once I own a DVD, I want to own the content on it, and make as many copies as I wish, just as I would a recipe from a cookbook. The same goes for audio CDs, which has been more-or-less accepted. The future of DRM is bleak, and that is as it should be.

There remains the issue of illegal downloads, and the only way out that I see is lowering prices (in stores) and increasing availability (iTMS). By the way, having seen a movie, I do end up buying it (unless it sucked), so this does work out for them.

In reality, a DVD usually costs about twice what a CD costs. Yet we usually listen to music more than twice. I mean how many times does a person watch a movie, 2-3 times a year. I mean how many times do you watch "It a wonderful life" usually once around Christmas. Movies usually reach a wider audience than say a particular genre of music. I think Holly wood is worried about DRM because movies are so much more costly to produce than music, and actors get paid before the movie is released, and some times royalities. They seem to be worried that movie profits may go the way of music industry. Look what Apple has done. I like music on the go...so to speak. But I can't carry a plasma set with me. Movies are almost watched at home. But if they make good movies people will buy them. People don't buy crap.
