Whats the point in developing Portable Multi-Media Technology

If the DVD CCA gets it way, with this unreasonable demand! Whats the point in company like Apple, Archios, IRiver, Sony, etc in developing hand-held portable multi-media players. If theres goin to be no multi-media content available to play on them.

It is the peoples right to create backup copies of their legally obtained goods (DVD,CD,Blu-Ray, etc) in case the original becomes damaged, or corrupted.

Personally, I think this request from the DVD CCA is a load of BULL!
