Wal-Mart's plan for legal movie downloads: buy a DVD, then pay some
more to "legally" download it to your iPod:

Let's see if I understand this right: you pay for a DVD, and *then* you
pay a fee of $1.97 or something to download that DVD to your iPod.
This effectively means that you're accepting the line that ripping a
DVD that you purchased, to play on your own iPod, is illegal.
Evidently the Sony-Betamax decision doesn't cover copying movies to an
iPod.

Gosh darn those awful Internet movie pirates!
