I do agree with others, though, that it sets up somewhat of an ALL-or-NONE as to whether same price includes Movies/TV and Music.

With a legal option available, given that the pricing isn't ridiculously high, I think it would give publishers an opportunity to cash in on market share they are already missing. Some money > no money, right?
