I can't believe that one person thought this was good idea, let alone a whole roomful of people. Sounds just amazingly stupid.

I smell attorneys all over this. The RIAA and MPAA are so lawyered-up they can’t take a crap without contractual review. I smell attorneys all over this.

Why would I pay that much money to download somthing I can buy for cheaper on DVD? I wonder if you can migrate the file to another drive. What if my hard drive fills up and I want free up some space, or back it up? I like the idea of the download, but I'm with you Gary, it seems like a spontaneous brain child of a board room white board. I think it’s stupid.

I think that they realize that the old ways of doing things are over, but really don't know what to do about it. This is so not consumer-friendly, that I also wonder, other than just coming up with something to say in response to consumer demand, why they even bothered to do it. I mention that it is a step in the right direction, but it is like an idea quickly come up with, thrown around the room, and than announced without too much thought. There does seem to be another underlying reason though, and that is that it will cut into their DVD sales, which is much more profitable at this time, than the current slapped together model.
