I think this is one of those cases where the industry convinced us that we really wanted or needed something, when in fact we have no real need or even intrinsic desire for it. Or maybe we did it to ourselves; remember, back when VHS was invented (70s) and/or really started to penetrate into a significant number of households (early 80s), when all of this "tape or buy the movie forever" stuff began, most people didn't even have cable TV yet. The ability to find what you wanted to watch on TV was much more difficult: you had three broadcast networks that showed crappy movies on weekends and year-old movies once a week (e.g. ABC's Saturday Night Movie); and the lucky few maybe had HBO, which wasn't even broadcasting 24 hours a day yet. So owning a personal copy of a movie was a much bigger deal than it really should be today. I think we've just got cultural leftovers from back then.

What kind of liberal BS site is that? They don't back up any of their statements with supporting evidence.

Frankly, I would rather have a huge broadband pipe to a titanic movie/TV show library to watch on demand. I'm sick of the whole "collect" mentality. I have dual 400 disc DVD players nearly full.... After watching my first HD-DVD movie, I realized I was a complete and total sucker.
I say, pay an online monthly fee to access a petabyte storage array of all things video. Watch it whenever. Hell, the download devices could easily have a terabyte array as a buffer. Internet goes down, watch stuff you have seen in the last few days.
No more collecting for me. Now, let's see the industry step up and provide some SERIOUS freaking broadband.
