Attack of the $1 DVDs

Posted by Zonk on from the watch-the-face! dept.

fm6 writes "The NY Times has an interesting piece on DVDs that sell for one or two bucks. Not all of them are crap -- apparently a lot of good movies never got copyrighted properly. But there's no silent movies ('not mass market'), or movies that aren't 'family friendly.' Here's what I find really interesting: none of the DVD companies mentioned in the article sell online -- it's all through discount bins in supermarkets and drug stores."

    Ummm OK you can be selfish and refuse to pay prices like that for fuel and refuse the Kyote protocol. Hey prehaps you could too someday drive a car that doesn't use excessive amounts of fuel, oh and exclude. Oh and your arrogance presumes that becuase we are not America that anything that could be exclusive is to go against freedom, no its called INFLATION and in England we pay a lot for everthing.

    YOUR STUPID COUNTRY MAKES ME SICK
