I've tried to rip DVDs before so that I can get a clip from a film and found it pretty difficult. It's not impossible, but it took several downloads before I found the right program and then I hate to spend a ton of time playing around with the files to actually do the ripping. In the end it's just easier for me to rent it from Netflix then to steal movies, Netflix isn't exactly all that expensive considering the number of movies I get per month. I’ve got to agree here.

With rental pretty cheap (& easy with Netflix) and most DVd's costing around $12 or a slab of ribs at Costco, most people just do not really care all that much plus how do you get it back on a disc? Or to them, who wants to watch it on a computer? to them, it's a hassle when for $5.99 (cheapest netflix), they can have a movie sent to them whenever or for 412 bucks, just buy it.
