Well I'm obviously not talking about 35mm negatives....gosh1080p is not "full resolution" [...] it's just the maximum resolution they tend to sell online or via Blu-ray discs. Is that what you mean?

What about fair use?To "rip" parts of a movie and post those clips on the internet is clear copyright infringement and the studios hate it.
Yes, but the point is if you want full resolution you have to pay. Cha-ching.All you need to do is rip at 720p now and it's the same situation as 1080p
Why do you think they forced Apple to block screenshots with the DVD Player app.[ .]
Yes, but the point is if you want full resolution you have to pay. Cha-ching.
What size screen are you using where 720p is "grainy"?

Back in the days before youtube et al, apple trailers was the ONLY way to get quality movie trailers off the internet.
Also - Apple spends almost no time or money on this - they are provided by the movie studios so the amount of money spent is purely for the bandwidth costs and a designer (likely employed by the studio) to whip together a page and upload it.
For those of us who have used macs for more than five years, yeah, this is an item of interest. Its another sign of apple tightening the belts and squeezing out unprofitable ventures, like the "new" mac pro you are foolishly holding out hope for.
I'm cautiously hopeful that this might be a precursor to rolling out HEVC coded videos. But I could be completely wrong. I have no concrete evidence other than watching what the video industry is doing and certainly no inside track on what Apple is working on. But, let me explain why I think this is a possibility......This is pure speculation, but what if one of the so far unmentioned changes that we might see is HEVC everywhere. Wouldn't that change the scenario for downloading 1080p on not so fast Internet connections?
But as I said - I could be completely wrong - and we only have a day or so to wait and see.
...I've gone through my own withdrawal experience-
...and I've also been unable to replicate any of the tricks posted here to locate Apple's movie trailers to download.
It's already been a few weeks.
Is this really the end of the joy of downloadable movie trailers?
Therefore I still prefer DVDs to Blurays or iTunes movie downloads. Yes they're low res, but I can just use VLC to rip them to my NAS for future viewing.We are slowly moving towards a world where we can't download anything for our own safe keeping. It's all stream, stream, stream, and the content producers want to retain all control.
Even now, many of the videos you DO download are DRM-encumbered. Look at movies and TV shows from iTunes. All DRMed. They're never really yours since your computer needs "permission" from Apple to play them.
Whenever an app comes out that allows people to download YouTube videos, YouTube tries to get it removed. Look what happened to Microsoft's YouTube client for Windows phone.
Soon we won't be allowed to keep local copies of anything anymore. It's terrible, and sadly the number of people who mind are in the minority so this will just keep happening.
