Seems like a reasonable suggestion, as DVD-9 replication isn’t much
more than DVD-5 these days....

Sorry, but since when does the thief determine how I should price my
product? There are plenty of content-holders that have valuable
information that only a small niche of the marketplace will find
useful (like someone that’s only pressing 2000 units....
have to get a moderately high price for their content, in comparison
with a Hollywood title, in order to get a reasonable ROI. If people
aren’t willing to pay $15-$20 for a Hollywood title, how can these
small producers expect to price their products at what a thief thinks
is a “fair and reasonable rate”? They may need to many times more
than a Hollywood title in order to just break even.
Lastly, I know that there are other solutions than CSS that will
provide enough of a “nuisance factor” to keep the casual hacker out.
I don’t know the ins or outs of any of them, so I can’t make a
recommendation (Macrovision’s RipGuard, etc.) nor do I know the price.
