As I'm sure a few of you have seen, Circuit City is offering a new service
copying DVD's.

We are not talking about home made DVDs either, but full commercial DVDs.

This definitely will be interesting to follow. They must have decided they are
willing to spend some money if MPAA comes after them.

They call DMCA draconian digital rights management philosophies and
anti-consumer technology.

How long before other chains follow suit... Very interesting as tehy could in
fact end the abuse of DMCA as this progresses.
