It seems that the question would be, will this happen? and if so, would it be a smart move on Apples part?
I can't say that it will happen, but it would be a decent move on Apples part. They don't make much margin on the main device (weather large or small) the money is in the periphels. So more units out there would increase the likleyhood of the $ making extras.
I don't think that it is a matter of downloading. Someone rips the movie off and then sells the disc for, like the article says, $.75. What is also interesing is that those selling say that there is a surprising demand for the 'pricey box sets'. Seperating those real media people from those that just want to see th movie.
I think it is a good move for the company to see if they can reclaim some sales with the more honest side of the dishonest.

PLUS it could save face for the touchscreen miss.
