So tell me .. the iTunes is a totally miss then? So everyone who buys music there.. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people are gonna lose it?

I think it's just raising smoke when there is none. There are kinks to work with the way DRM works.. there are hints now but it will take a bit..but once that's clear there's no stopping. In the meantime rentals will overtake. I don't think anyone will have the need to own any movies anymore since you'll have full libraries of movies at your disposal at any time. That's the whole point of owning a movie to begin with. To be able to watch it when you want.

In the new digital age where optical media is gone, which is already in swing, you will have access to all content at anytime from the convenience of your couch. Simple as that.

For that I don't even need to own the movie since I watch it like 5 times in the disc's lifetime anyways.
