Re: Why so much money?
said by cbrigante2  :said by karlmarx :I mean I can't see 'paying' $14.99 for a movie I don't even own? That's right, DRM means YOU DON'T OWN IT, you 'rent' it at their discretion. I mean, you can get the exact same movie at the store for probably $15.99. Does the low quality, low bitrate, restricted version really mean it's worth $14.99. Why in the world would anyone pay that kind of money, when they can get a MUCH HIGHER quality DVD rip from their local torrent site BEFORE the movie even gets to the store? Granted, 25% of the US is retarded, which is how republicans get votes, but no one in their right mind should ever PAY for something you don't even own. At least if you buy the DVD, you can do with it what you want. Rip it, Copy it, Back it up, Share it. I think if you get into the letter of the law, you would be surprised what you are legally entitled to do with DVDs that you own as well. I'm not saying I agree with it, just that DRM is everywhere there is content. Not to mention a DVD is also encrypted with CSS.  |
