I certainly hope there are easy and legal ways to transfer them. Between PC and HD upgrades, I don't think I've had the same hard drive as my primary drive for longer than 9 months or so at a time.

And yes, it is better if they are the only thing on a disc, not a rip off at all. If you don't want the digital copy, buy the 1 disc. Of course, studios will probably put something else on that disc most of the time....

The problem I am having is that they choose one format over the other when providing the digital copy.

For example, I got Speed Racer today, and not only is it a WMA format only download (not on a disc) but it also costs an extra $2. Now, I would potentially consider it if I were able to choose iTunes instead of WMA, as the only reason I would want the digital copy is to put it onto my iPod... but as it is WMA only I have no desire to get it.

FYI, Speed Racer is available for download in multiple formats (iTunes, WMA, etc...) if you pay full price for it.

Personally I think that if you buy the DVD (or Blu-Ray) of any movie that is also available in digital format it should come with 1 free download of that movie.

When you buy a DVD you already get unlimited downloads/conversions.

I think Digital Copies are a neat little concept!
