I want a digital licensed copy. I mean for movies it would be extremely cool, if we could have a drive, where you could download bought movies on but not copy off of. Then you would own a copy on this drive to be watched. Maybe you could even exchange titles from drive to drive but it is encrypted with its own operating system, so that you cannot copy it off of the drive only move it from licensed drive to licensed drive, if there is an exchange interest. By that I don't have unnecessary bulky DVDs or CDs but at the same time an owned copy that could last endlessly... but companies prefer people to log in and stream or have a game only through the steam log in...

it's perfect (the meme)

Pirate the game, burn it into a disk.

Honest question: Has anyone invented or proposed a DRM system that would actually meet the needs of both media producers and consumers? We know they can prevent that mass dissemination of media to protect producers/artists/etc., but those DRM methods always have some major drawbacks for consumers and ultimately make the product unusable after a certain period of time or have incredibly annoying restrictions. I can't quite wrap my mind around how you could have both, but I also haven't put a lot of time into thinking about it.

Cool meme, but i have to be "that guy" real quick.

When you're referring to a hard drive you install, the correct term is "disk" (with a k). But if you're referring to a piece of removable media, such as a CD or DVD, the correct term is "disc" (with a c).
