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.
