   So blu-ray disks will be less secure. Therefore, easier to copy. Therefore, the more dominant format.

The consumer doesnt drive the storage media market. The distributors do. The consumers then buy whatever format the distributor provides.Consumers didnt one day say, "Hey! CD's are awesome! I'm gonna buy a bunch of blank ones.. and when they start releasing them in retail outlets I can copy the content!!"Blu-Ray will have content protection on it regardless. It just means they wont have it done on schedule giving hd-dvd a head start. If blu-ray didnt implement DRM it would be their downfall as every content provider would then choose HD-DVD. The blank media consumer (the people who would be copying the content) do not decide this. Even the retail consumers dont decide it. The content creators decide which medium to place their data on.
