Which really goes to highlight the biggest flaw with DRM: It's an additional cost to add something that will not, under any circumstances, improve the customer's experience.

It's one thing to have a black market providing illicit versions of a product, but when the black market provides a superior product at lower cost with, often, greater convenience? Something that has gone horribly, terribly wrong.

I have never gotten the digital copies, that come with some blu ray movies, to work.

I have to turn around and use a torrent. I feel smug about it too. Serves them right.

They probably wouldn't care, since you bought the blu-ray already.
I would say that they'd, at the very least, pretend that they care. The official motto of "they" should be "sharing is NOT caring."

And, even though I own the blu-ray, I still shared video data with people who do not own the blu-ray. This is what they'd throw a hissy fit about.
