The discs can be copied within the 48 hour working period.
Although this may have an interesting effect on the film industry, I have a feeling that many that use this service will be buying the DVDs for the movies they want to rent, rather than personally purchase to keep. Some may use the service to rip DVDs, although I believe most will use it for the lack of having to return the DVD after viewing and the time and/or money it saves. Copying of the DVDs will adversely effect the industry, but will this be to the extent that the film industry will be facing serious problems in the future? I highly doubt it.
