I keep seeing mentions of how RealDVD has added its own DRM layer, as if this is somehow supposed to make the initial CSS circumvention okay.I can’t “borrow” your car at will and then justify it by filling up the tank (although that would be generous given the cost of gas now). No, the key issue here is that the copyright owner has to be consulted first. And copyright owners are acting on this demand, having recently put together the DECE consortium to develop “buy once, play anywhere” services.

I don’t see the difference, fundamentally, between the premise of RealDVD and iTunes.. one you “rent, rip & return” and the other you “borrow, rip & return”.. the onus is on the user to behave and understand the implications of ripping off artists… it’s no more the fault of Real than it is Apple’s concern whether i borrow my friend’s CD and rip it to my iTunes.
