This could be an interesting new trend: Twentieth Century Fox will be including a DRM-free version of the "Live Free or Die Hard" movie on a special release of the DVD movie. You’ll be able to watch the regular DVD version on your standard DVD player, but disc two will have an electronic version of the movie for use on a computer or Plays For Sure portable device. No need to do what I do, which is use Handbrake to re-encode movies for handhelds. You simply pop the disc in a PC, enter a 16-digit code found in the DVD box and the file is transferred to the destination or supported device of your choice. Fox is calling this feature "Digital Copy" and expects to include it with other releases in the future.
