Thank you. I'm sick of DRM bashing. In the end, is it REALLY that bad? Sure, plenty of people are annoyed by it, but I've never had a DRM stop me from doing something I'm legally allowed to. (Tryed to transfer rented DVD to VHS, didn't work.) DRMs are put in place so that movie studios WILL want to release movies. If Blu-Ray (and HD-DVD) were DRM-free, then the [major] movie studios would stick with SD-DVD. I won't ever need to do anything with my Blu-Ray Discs but put them in and press play. Maybe I'll copy a few to my hard drive, considering I'm legally allowed to.
The real unfair DRM was Broadcast flag. Anything that would have been flagged "copy never" is unfair to the consumer. TV is not on your schedule, it's on the networks'. Copy Never would have stopped time-shifting, which is not right. Thankfully, that was stopped.
