Is Piracy In the Consumers' Best Interests?
moviemodel writes "Warner Home Video in China are beginning trials of 'simple pack' DVD releases at $1.50. They state they are doing this as a test to see if they can recover a market lost to pirate DVD's at 75c each. They also sell higher priced and more complete DVD sets as 'silver' and 'gold' packs. Maybe this marks the beginning of movie industry realism and long hoped for shift in business models, forced by piracy. Perhaps they can take it on as a better model for movie downloads worldwide, facing the same problem of competition from pirated movies. Is such a model viable in the long term?"
Next up we change the US government via sniper rifle.
Given your current government - DO IT, PLEASE.
What you think you have the right to have rifles for? Your founding fathers had the idea that a little rebellion every couple of hundred years is good for freedom - it gets rid of bad governments.
To me it looks like the time has really come again in the US.
