Disney Digital Copy (, )

by fluffy at 9:26 PM
So, I bought the Wall-E Collector's Edition on Blu-Ray. One of the things it came with was the "Disney digital copy" version. Since the voucher was only good for a year I decided I'd might as well just redeem it anyway, and since it's using iTunes DRM it's not like I can't transfer the license between all my computers (unlike the Windows Media version which restricts it to a single computer forever and ever).

Anyway, the whole activation/transfer process was incredibly painless. I popped in the DVD, entered a code, and then 20 seconds later I had a copy of Wall-E on my computer.

So, not all DRM has to make things painful and stupid.

how much space does it take up on the drive?
i guess you can't delete it and reinstall because of the drm?

Wall-E is about 1.15GB. And yeah I think the install voucher is a one-time thing. I could try using it on another computer with the same iTunes account and see if the voucher works again though.

It should be okay to back the movie up onto an external drive and then bring it back in later as long as it's the same iTunes account.
