kudos:5 | So what >>would have in place to protect a $100 million movie
So what, what about my right not to have to purchase your movie twice due to a defective dvd?? Fair use is fair use, change with the times or step aside for another to fill your place. |

Southfield, MI | Thats funny. I was looking in the cover of one of my older CDs. If Im not mistaken it was Sade, Diamond Life. It has a label that said if the CD had any defects in workmanship, call this 800 number or write this address for a replacement!
Can you believe that!?

If the DVD is truly defective, and not damaged by you, then return it to the store you got it from. If it's a bad run of discs then generally the producing company will do a replacement. Manga's recient release of "End of Evangelion" seems to be defective due to bad mastering on their end. It is expected that they will issue a press release soon explaining how the disc exchange will take place.
If you scratched the disc yourself then it's your own problem. Pre-DMCA free usage would have allowed you to make a backup of your new disc to use while keeping your original in a safe place. Personally I want this freedom back.
Of course free usage doesn't and never did mean you can make backups of your original for everyone else and mass distribute it.

Wonder if that warranty would apply to the content? That's the issue for traders. Let's say just for argument that people are willing to pay the high prices for CD's...should they have to buy, disc unheard, or will they get a refund if it sucks like we do when we buy a T.V. from Best Buy?
