Blu-ray/HD DVD Disc Sales Numbers Revealed

An anonymous reader writes "The High-Def format wars finally have a yardstick against which to measure who's winning with the first public release of VideoScan sales figures for both HD DVD and Blu-ray. The first two weeks' worth of data seem to back up what many predicted — that the Blu-ray-enabled PS3 is helping Sony quickly close the gap with HD DVD, with almost three Blu-ray discs sold for every one HD DVD during the first week of January. HD DVD still leads in overall discs sold since inception, but that lead looks to be quickly dwindling. While they do show a trend, the results from VideoScan are still fairly vague. Why are consumers being denied the information they need to make a considered choice?"

Re:It is our duty and our right to pirate movies

[toolie]

movies are binary encoded information and information wants to be free

Information isn't sentient and as such, can't want anything. It doesn't want to be free, it doesn't care either way.

The only people who want it to be free are the cheap bastards who never produced anything that other people would want to spend money on. Basically, the only people that believe information wants to be free are parasites who use that as justification for stealing stuff they have no right to, such as pirating movies.
