I am not quite sure that they need to establish "fail safe" DRM and that a crack on the online service DRM would be catastrophic... We are talking about the same movies that will be on DVD, which has very poor DRM. This bein said, even if they put super hyper restricting DRM, people will still be able to extract the movie from the DVDs. People who want to burn or copy the movie will use BitTorrent. I really hope that they will provide an honest DRM that will allow people to play to different output (I.E Not MS' secure computing) and will not require weird players. If you think about it, if someone wants to copy a DVD, he will go to blockbusters, rent the movie for the same price, save on bandwidth, circumvent DRM easily and archive the DVD. It is not like having weak DRM or fair use on their online DVDs that it will create an unprecedent hole for movie copy...
Too bad it's Australia, the internet you get is crippled and filtered.

Exciting to see that finally we will get progress on that
This is sad but it's the truth... Where are we going
AWESOME now other spammers might slow down... OR go to third world countries (*sight*)
Will this IOS be OpenSource too ? :)
