Yay, studios can now reduce their distribution costs and put more burden on to consumers to wait 15 minutes for a their content to burn. yay.
Wonder if you download this content, can you mount it on a virtual drive (via Alcohol software, or something similar) and have it work without burning a DVD?
I agree. This doesn’t solve the problem at all. This is more like, just throwing customers a bone - a half chewed bone, with no meat left on it.
I guess the studios think that people are so stupid; we won’t see through this half-hearted attempt at a compromise – which is really a smoke screen for locking down any and all DVD drives on PC’s with this “Qflix” software "Upgrade".

So wait...
The answer to why people weren't downloading enough movies is because there wasn't enough copy protection?
What problem does this actually solve?

They're NOT fooling anyone.
