Much Easier? (Score 1)

HD3 defines a new category in high definition displays with its built-in media player, allowing consumers, for the first time, to view movies without the use of an external DVD player or PC. With the 2230Fm, simply load a film onto a memory device, plug it into the display and use AOC's proprietary, user-friendly menu and remote control to enjoy a movie PC-free.

Isn't it infinitely much easier just to load a DVD into a tray, than it is to rip a DVD, copy it onto a storage device, and plug it into a TV?

It's much easier to get a DVD, isn't it? Or is this blatant advocacy of piracy? Plus with the capacities of Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs, you must be crazy to rip them somewhere else.
