I disagree. If say, iTunes, had a DVD ripping feature to get your movies on your ipod I think a lot of people would rather do that than rebuy them from the itunes store.

This is quite a different situation from setting up a media server and connecting it to your TV.

Not really. Your entire iPod is usually synced to iTunes on the computer. Simply plugging your computers DVI into an available HDMI port on an HDTV is a pretty easy process. From there, you just press play within iTunes.

If anything, the "Digital Copy" that's available on many newer releases makes setting up a media server way easier than it use to be. Unfortunately, those files can only be played in either iTunes or Windows Media Player. Combine any of those setups with an XBox 360 or PS3 for doing streaming and it's very easy to set the whole thing up.
