Thanks, I appreciate the effort and the correction - I got the two terms confused, and have updated my article to appropriately name the feature. I also clarified that the copy of the movie you're getting is DVD resolution - or lower in the case of a "portable" version. I thought that would be obvious since it's a DVD, not a Blu-ray disc, but it can't hurt to be more obvious.

I guess we'll see, but unless Managed Copy is done as part of a futuristic Zune-based system, with sever side components to involve authorization of computer system, I can't see it better than iTunes (I can't believe I just wrote that). DRM tokens that only exist on one computer, and are made nearly impossible to transfer to another computer, make for a highly problematic system...
