Furthermore, hardware manufacturers are increasingly producing devices that can read a variety of media such as divx, xvid, CD-R etc.. with some DVD players even having a USB input to directly connect flash drives New compression techniques may also encourage DVD piracy – Divx and Xvid are doing to DVDs what mp3 technology did to music.

DVDs have not suffered as much online piracy as CDs because of bandwidth constraints. It takes a lot longer to transfer a full length DVD than a CD or just a song. The technology to rip and burn DVDs has also been around for a much shorter time. However, as bandwidth and storage space increase a lot more piracy can be expected. Also, as more devices are able to play movies – mobile phones for instance – consumers will start bumping up against the limits imposed by DRM. I expect that in a few years time the same issues facing music will dawn on movies. The dynamics around DVDs are slightly different.

I would buy more DVDs if they were DRM-free I would buy even more DVDs if the movie studios include a Divx or Xvid version of the movie that I could copy to a compilation DVD and play in my kids portable DVD player. Unfortunately, the movie studios think that DRM adds value to their products. It's clear that we are all pirates when almost every DVD includes copyright and FBI anti-piracy warnings. Imagine walking into Wal-Mart and being required to read an anti-theft notice before shopping. Good question Suvendu.
