"Industry puppet"???
I just made a point that ease of copying DVDs may have played a role
(that could have been as much as major) in DVDs huge adoption. Buying
pirated movies doesn't really relate. It's the more innocuous stuff
that may have had a large impact. Eg., I have a collection of cool
movies and i burn a copy of something for you. You thank me, but say
that I don't have a DVD player. The fact that i could show you cool
things, etc., may be another encouragement to buy a dvd player.
The early adopters (or in the past 5 yrs, they may be the 2nd/3rd gen
of adopters) are a number of the same people that would be interested
enough to learn about how to ripp and burn dvds. It's not a stretch to
think that a number of these people helped influence other people to
buy into dvd.
And i believe i made the same poitns about price and convenience in the
points which you snipped.
What will propel HD forward likely won't be PQ, imho.
