technically it's an interesting topic. anyway what ible says is valid as well. although it's a dynamic culture with dynamic needs so i don't think that one can say right off the bat that there's no demand for it. for instance there never was no actual demand for a cd to start with but there was a demand for a scratch / noice free longer lasting medium(not really a comparison but it just shows that it's hard to predict what could work or not).
anyways, ftc, there is no virtual difference between watching movies on your computer or watching movies on a mobile unit (let alone the fact that the viPod seems to be fake). so these piracy issues are already going on. i don't think apple would have a piracy issue at all. if so, then all mobile computer manufacturers would have these issues already.
anyways, about rippind dvd's. it's just as ripping cd's. back in the days people thought that no one would be ripping cd's since it's too time consuming and due to size limitations. that has changed dramatically. same will happen to ripping dvd's. it'll become more faster and more easier, mass media will be bigger and faster. i would go even so far by saying that at one point there won't be even discs anymore. just extremely small chips with huge data capabilities. now in that future there is no issue anymore about ripping, mobility etc. just slide in the card and it's there instantly. i think no one will have any problems with smaller screens or checking stuff (news etc. will be more likely) out on the road.
