shreddarI guess I'll have to wait until people stop buy DVD's and watching Cable in lue of Netflix, Hulu, Roku and the usual Bittorrent.Dec 12 17:04
shreddarThen as the Networks and Movie companies will sink down into irrelevance they'll start trying to compete again. Dec 12 17:06
shreddarI guess the difference with Movies and Music is the Ipod.Dec 12 17:12
shreddarThe Ipod highlighted the downsides to DRM with music because it made downloading music more a convenience.Dec 12 17:14
shreddarThere is no such device for movies except maybe Roku.Dec 12 17:14
shreddarMaybe Amazon On Demand is the iTunes to Roku's iPod.Dec 12 17:15
shreddarWith Amazon VOD or whatever they call it (I don't use it because of DRM) customers might wonder why they can't watch shows on another device or one without a internet connection (just a guess).Dec 12 17:18
shreddarBut I haven't been seeing a revolution as I had with the Itunes service.Dec 12 17:19
shreddarMaybe it's because Roku is just a device that streams shows rather than stores shows in internal memory.Dec 12 17:21
shreddarWith the iPod you are incurraged to use up the large amount of memory you get. (even if that means putting songs on there you don't own)Dec 12 17:24
shreddarFor the Movies/Shows version of a iPod the only thing I know that fit the bill is Apple TV.Dec 12 17:25
shreddarThe thing is Apple isn't highly interested in it. At least not yet.Dec 12 17:26
shreddarIt's just an experiment for them now.Dec 12 17:26
shreddarNevermind Apple TV isn't really a storage device it just streams from the computer.Dec 12 17:28
shreddarSo really there isn't a iPod for the Movies/Shows, yet.Dec 12 17:29
*chm has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))Dec 12 17:29
shreddarI guarantee you that if they made a device that was made for owning shows rather than renting them customers would ask for more control over their property. (eventually someone like emusic would come along and offer it to them)Dec 12 17:32

shreddarI think books will likely become DRM-free and server independent sometime soon.Dec 12 17:49
shreddarThanks to Amazon's Nineteen Eighty-Four fiasco. Dec 12 17:49
shreddarThere are already ebook readers that support regular PDF's (stored locally) on the market.Dec 12 17:51
shreddarIt's only a matter of time before online retailers start offering DRM-free ebooks.Dec 12 17:53
shreddarAmazon's will be the last to do so ofcourse.Dec 12 17:53
shreddarIt's pathetic having DRM-free music but they still had the balls to put that crap in ebooks.Dec 12 17:54
shreddarI wish Apple would make a ibook or something but they won't. I think the main reason they even made the iPod was to eventually come out with the iPhone/iTouch computers.Dec 12 17:57
shreddarI guess they must be done with that strategy.Dec 12 17:58
shreddarThat's probably why Apple TV is just a streaming device.Dec 12 17:59
