We should expect that Third or Fourth world nations should be compelled to follow First World standards where the purchasing power of these nations denominations are enough to secure a legitimate copy of an digital media. In the "South", there simply isn't enough cash in one's budget to buy an expensive comparable priced First World item. Piracy is still a third world necessity.

If you're on the up and up you have to compare that price to buying a digital copy over itunes or something. I've been buying those when they're available but have not tried one yet. That will be covered in next weeks blog. The issue will be the resolution of the digital copy and the DRM, which I'm going to explore. Backing up with anydvd is theoretically better because you can (again theoretically) convert the movie into whatever format and resolution you need for your home media player.

Do you think more titles will offer the digital copy and does it seem to impact the price of the disc? I've noticed that you've bought a few Blu ray discs with digital copies recently.
