Greenville, SC | Alternative Buy the DVD/CD/etc and you'd make this company obsolete.
And no, I don't like the **AA either. It's called living with integrity as best you can. I agree, it's frustrating how slow the market is coming around to working WITH rather than AGAINST the customers. In some way though, you can't blame them for viewing the customers with suspicion when a large amount of said customers are just taking what they want.
I guess my point is if you want to change the whole industry,
a) Have patience. Stop buying their stuff, or buy from whatever decent digital alternative there is(iTunes for example), or even rent (Netflix and others).
b) Don't ignore the law and act as if you're fully justified in order to change a bad system. Civil disobedience in case of human freedoms is one thing, but entertainment media? Come on! Put things into perspective: Life moves on if the **AAs don't get some brains and change, and the sun will continue to rise each morning if we have to keep paying high prices for our music.
Please understand, I HATE HATE HATE the greed, inflexibility, and overall stupidity of the media industry, but if I am willing to bend the law in such a trivial area of my life(entertainment), what lack of integrity will I show elsewhere? Two wrongs don't make a right. |
