Copy protection schemes don't work. Companies pay huge amounts of money to develop a new copy protection scheme, only to be cracked on the first week it hits the shelves. Then they want us to pay the companies back the money they used in developing the already cracked copy protection scheme. But we don't want to pay the ridicilous money for a plastic disc with data on it so we copy. 

Alternative:

Companies do not pay huge amounts of money to develop new copy protection schemes that don't work and admit the fact that data on any media will always be copiable, no matter what anyone does, just like the Beta or VHS tapes before them. Because they don't pay for encryption schemes, media becomes cheaper. More people would like to buy original HD-DVD or Blue-ray discs because everyone likes to own the movie they like in its original package. Some people still copy, but they always do anyway.

Just give up the ridiculous fight!
