I agree that cd's and dvd's cost to much, but because of rentals and legal song downloads that isn't a problen anymore is it? I wasn't trying to sound morally superior, but aren't there standards? Nobody will die if they can't get the "Jay-Z vs. Linkin Park" bootleg; and I'm not sure I would compare stealing Spiderman to our nation's battle for independence. Since you bring up our nations history, we decided long ago that capitolism was the most perfect system. That means companies that make popular products will make alot of money. If you tried your hardest to make a company successful wouldn't you like your efforts to be shown in that "bottom line"? These studios have alot of revenue, but not much profit. It seems like every five years one is going under. $300 million in box office sales don't mean much when the film cost $150 million to make and $70 million to market.
As for CD's, the percentage of millionare artists is quite small. Most are slugging it out for months on tour just trying to break even, selling a few thousand Cd's a month. When Eminem loses out on couple hundred-thousand sales he doesn't lose a big percentage, but when the other guys lose several hundred sales it matters alot. If others out there buy into this class-war mentallity, wouldn't these bands be on our side?
