DVD servers vs. Movie companies who want to restrict the copying of movies for use, legal or illegal? In my opinion the manufacturers have the right to restrict copying since they are just safeguarding their rights. They have made movies available at a very reasonable price point and they have the right to safeguard that lucrative market. Look at the music industry that didn't sell their products at a reasonable price. They're all dying. I still refuse to buy CDs for $16.00 or anything above $10.00 when I can buy a complete hit movie for $18.00 or less. The movie industry has to make a profit. We should respect that and live with the inconvenience that they want to put in place to safeguard their rights. If you want more expensive movies, just keep crabbing.
