The concept of 'owning' music or video because you paid for the media (or the right to put it on your iPod in the case of Apple) is rapidly becoming obsolete. Music services like Rhapsody are the future. You just pay a flat monthly fee ($10/month ofr Rhapsody) and get legal access to practically any music track you can imagine. Withouth DRM, these services are not possible. The same is happening with TV/DVD. My cable provider has a movie service that shows several hundred movies per month. The service comes with a DVR, so you basically record the movies you like to see, and watch later (near video on demand, everything is digital so there's no quality loss when recording). If you subscribed to the movie service, you get video on demand for a subset of the movies for free. All (digital) cable subscribers get access to a video-on-demand system for movies and for regular tv programs that have aired in the past. Frankly, I don't see any reason anymore to bother with burning programs to DVD. All this for much less than the $100 dollar per month you're paying (e.g. 25 euro/month for the movie channels).
