Hollywood Against Jobs' Movie Pricing Plan

Alex Romanelli, Variety writes "Hollywood insiders tell Variety why/how Hollywood is in stalemate with Jobs over movie downloads on iTunes. Jobs wants a flat $9.99 per film download, studios are refusing, insisting upon tiered pricing. On the other side there's a different, longer, analytical story looking at how H'wood executives are still unsure if Jobs should be considered a friend or foe."

That's not always the case. I just paid $6.99 for 4 songs, because the one song I wanted, was only available by purchasing "the album". Apple/iTunes seems to be doing this more and more.

Turns out the song wasn't that good anyway.

you're an idiot:

At least I'm not a coward. One up on you already.

women and popular culture. google it asshole. women overconsume all media.

I have no idea what you mean by "overconsume" in this context. Perhaps you explain it to me - after you give me a cite to a single empirical study, published in an accredited, peer-reviewed journal backing up your claim. Go ahead, I'll wait. If you need help, I suggest that scholar.google.com might be a better bet than plain ol' Google.

only assholes and losers pay for something they can get for free.

I see. So if you can screw someone else over you're more than willing to do so, so long as you think you can get away with it. Morality doesn't even enter into the picture.

Not only a coward, but a thief as well. And a thief who can't stand the idea that he might be in the tiny minority of the human race that we call 'scum'.

that traffic kills itunes traffic by several orders of magnitude you fucking homo

Cites? Sources? Oh, but wait - you're not only a coward and a thief, but a bigot as well. Yep, 'scum' really fits the bill here.

it's because no one wants to pay for the shit asshole

It's because fucktards like you can't admit that you're the filth on the bottom of humanity's shoe and feel the need to justify your actions, primarily by insisting that everyone else is just as much a fucktard as you are - even when the actual evidence seems to indicate that most of the rest of us aren't morally bankrupt.

exception makes the rule, you fucking prick.

That one didn't even make sense. So, coward, thief, bigot - and either loon or idiot, the jury's still out. Perhaps both.

only windbags like you and your ilk would pay for something you can readily get for free

The 'windbags' here being the folks who think that something of value should actually be paid for. Us 'windbags' call that 'ethical behavior', but I'm willing to bet you wouldn't know what that was if it up and bit you in the ass.

you probably can't walk and talk at the same time. you can't think and drink, lol.

Get back to me after you grow up, move out of your parents basement, and get a real job in the real world. Then perhaps you'll learn that work has value, which is why we pay for products and services, and why we think we should be payed for what we produce and provide. Although I seriously doubt it since you seem like nothing more than a garden-variety sociopath, and not a very bright one at at.

The best I can probably hope for is that no girl will ever be stupid enough to breed with you. The gene pools is in bad enough shape as it is without the likes of you passing on your own sub-standard contribution.
