Actually, with Managed Copy and some of the solutions out there, it's my understanding that you'll be able to have a domain license. From there you should be able to use it multiple PCs and devices associated with the domain.

I don't know that much about it but I'm trying to find more info.

Are we talking about the traditional Windows networking concept of a domain? I hope not, because Joe Average isn't going to have a domain on his home network...hell, *I* don't have a domain on my home network! Lots of stuff doesn't work properly on a domain...it's not a consumer thing in any way shape of work. They must be thinking of a different sort of implementation...

Please do report back when you find out more.

The main problem here is the fact that you have to "verify" your copy with a remote server; history repeats itself and I watched several of these services shut down and leaving users in trouble.
This is the reason why I use Slysoft to enjoy watching movies I have bought in my computers. When I buy a new box I connect it to my server and get access to my media folder without the need to connect with some big brother hoping that everything is fine on the other side.

"The neat part is that you can get both the iTunes and Windows Media Player versions of the movie - I did this with four Blu-ray discs I purchased."

This is not true for all studios... I was not able to download the WMV version of Taken because I had downloaded the iTunes version and was told "The Code has already been used on another version" So make sure you download the format (iTunes/WMP) you want most first, just in case you can only use the code once. The iTunes versions are definitely the way to go unless the WM DRM gets some major overhaul. (which I can't see happening...)

In general I agree with you - but if you're going to bet on any service to survive, it's going to be iTunes...

Wow...I guess I've just been lucky so far. I agree that if you can only get one, the iTunes version is the "safest" one to get.
