I actually went and registered for the site just so I could comment on this post. Managed Copy and Digital Copy have absolutely nothing to do with each other. With digital copy you're getting a low-res, DRMed copy of a DVD, not a Blu-ray.

Managed Copy isn't even available yet and since it'll require new hardware to use, I doubt you're getting managed copies. Managed Copy will be a very different concept. I suggest doing some research on the topic. Here's a good place to start.

And from Blu-ray.com:
1.13 Will Blu-ray support mandatory managed copy?

Yes, mandatory managed copy (MMC) will be part of the Blu-ray format. This feature will enable consumers to make legal copies of their Blu-ray movies that can be transferred over a home network. Please note that "mandatory" refers to the movies having to offer this capability, while it will be up to each hardware manufacturer to decide if they want to support this feature.
Not only that but Microsoft DRM is one of the supported DRM formats. So it's entirely possible that Windows and WMP may actually end up being easier to use than iTunes with Managed Copy. Studios haven't been able to do DRM right yet so only time will tell on that one.
