Do you folks think that no one makes any money off of DVD's?

Why is it OK for producers and distributers to make some extra money off of a DVD release and not the production folks?

Another point. In America we have what is called a capitalist philosophy. This means we are entitled to become filthy rich if we want and can come up with a way of doing it.

Somehow, recently, it has been decided by the masses that certain people make "enough" money and therefore don't deserve to be paid any extra.

Granted, some of the deals for actors and athletes are outrageous but before you condemn the person for asking for so much think about this. Wealthy folks (for the most part) are not foolish with money. If there was no way to recoup these huge salaries then they wouldn't pay them.

And don/'t hand me any line about having to use a certain celebrity because the public demands it. The public has a memory that only lasts as long as the next "cool" person.

So, stop the "envy rage". No one is making the poor producers and others lose any money. It's all greed folks and that's the way business is done. Don't like it, move to central Asia where you don't have to put up with it.
