If absolutely everyone always actually bought music CD's, DVD's, etc. in stores (or online), just like the good sheep we're supposed to be then we'd be hopeless victims to infinite inflation and price-gouging.
If it's a system of competitive capitalism and consumer freedom that is supposeed to fuel this country then why do they constantly have to impose unethical and unconstitutional mandates on what people can and cannot do? Our capitalistic society is a lie. It is a carefully constructed pyramid scheme.
If we were truly free to choose then it is very possible that multinational corporations and big industries would fall... but they can't have that. So they have to protect the weak little SONY Entertainment of America and the poor ol' Polygram/Epiphone/BGM/EMI/BMI Multinational Inc. from big bad consumers like us.
But don't despair people! It is through the valiant efforts of down-to-earthians just like our own JJ and crew that the intricate and vibrant network of consumer choice is sustained. They are the voices of fairness and reason. They are for the public by the public, and I salute each and every one you for never just settling for what's given... plus $7/disc kicks ass!!
Whew, well I'm out of hot air for now (thankfully) But I'll leave you... with a question...
Does LOTR's 2-DVD, 4-DVD formula suck...? ...Yes.
Will I be buying all of them, R1, regardless...? Yes. Hehe...
