My point was that in much the same manner as music, video will also become DRM free in the future. What different
What is different is that, generally speaking, music has never had copy protection (save a few experiments on CD "Sony esp.", and SACD/DVD-A). while movies have always had some form of copy protection. As the resolution of the content increases, there seems to be a greater influence to using some form of copy protection.
I see no signs of studios willing to let totally DRM-free HD movies into the wild. In fact, recently a studio or two was influenced in their HD format choice because of the extra layer of DRM offered! That's certainly not a sign that any major studio will be removing DRM from their media any time soon (or in the foreseeable future as I said).

Well, I was speaking in terms of digital music distribution here, which has up until recently has ALWAYS had some form of DRM or another.
