Sorry if this is old, I did a search.

If you could buy a porn video, download it in about an hour and burn it to a DVD that will play in any standard drive, would you do it? What if it had built-in digital rights management (DRM) code that only let you burn the file to disk one time, and one time only?
Vivid, arguably the most tech-savvy of the big adult entertainment studios, is launching a new Burn to DVD service on April 3 with the expectation that you, and millions like you, will.
"We expect the service to be extremely popular," says Hirsch. "Just hit the button, download and burn."
The prices for a DVD by download are the same as a traditional DVD, about $25 per feature, and your homemade DVD sports the same menu system, chapter navigation and any interactive features included with the original. Print the jacket art, add a jewel case and it's just like the real thing, without a plain brown wrapper or a trip to the store.
The catch is that you'll only be able to burn the file to a DVD once, thanks to the proprietary burn software included with your purchase.
Seems like an interesting concept though I think it would make more sense if it were cheaper than a retail DVD, instead of having it the same price. Even if it were just five bucks less, there should be some kind of value saving here besides not having to take a trip to the ADULT STORE on the Highway.
