Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending September 14th, 2008

Sep 23rd 2008 3:31AM on Engadget HD

I will not buy blue-ray simply because of the DRM (and no, I do not pirate. I'm actually very careful about copyrights). I also do not buy DVDs for the same reason (my wife ocassionally does for my daughter). Give me a format I can backup and content shift FOR PERSONAL USE without being made a criminal by brain-fart laws like the DMCA and I'll happily pay for content of reasonable quality.

I know I'm not alone in my views....If the studios want me to buy, they must abandon DRM -- Plain and simple.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
