It's just sad that a "Digital Copy" is a feature. It is even sadder that, quite often, we end up paying extra for it.

A "Digital Copy" of a movie like this is the equivalent of a CD coming with included MP3's (or a license to download the MP3's from some online service)....only a moron would call that a feature, since it's widely known that you can make your own "Digital Copy" of music files freely, legally (AFAIK), and easily. Why should movies be different?
