I make a living from said "greedy b*stards" so you'll often see me arguing on both sides of the fence with regard to DRM.
I think the iTunes store and Apple's insistence on keeping prices reasonable is an example that consumers will strive to be legal if the quality and price are reasonable. I personally think 4-5 times as many people would download videos if they were also 99 cents (therefore profit would be more than double) so studios are missing the boat on this. But that's a discussion for a different thread...

I think it's a pretty sure bet people will pay more for Blu-Ray players and Blu-Ray content in the early going. I don't think they can sustain high prices, though as always, the greedy b*stards who own studios will try their best to milk the consumer for as long as possible. Then, they'll spend millions on ad campaigns to convince people to stop stealing their high-def content from the internet instead of just making it affordable in the first place. And so it goes... on and on.
