This is what I always here, same with Anime. But I don't understand why this is hard.
Anime is a whole other matter. Japanese media companies are insanely risk-averse. If they know they can guarantee a sell-out run of 20,000 BD units at 6,000 Yen a piece for Anime X in Japan only, that's all they'll do. Won't run 25,000 units and hope for selling 23,000 at full retail.
Keeping with this, they also charge an arm and a leg to foreign companies to want to translate and distribute outside Japan. Since media costs are lower in, say, the USA, they worry that Japanese fans will wait until the cheaper foreign discs come out, since they'll all have the Japanese language tracks anyway.
Everything else you mention has to do with pre-existing agreements.
And here I thought it was just a death wish.. Driving a motorcycle seems like a dangerous way to get places during rush hour. Driving a car scares me enough, I'd hate to be out there on two wheels trying to doge the stupid people, the gravel, AND the guy behind me who obviously don't pay attention to anything smaller than what they are driving.
So, why does that middle aged woman bring her Harley to work most of the time? I thought she did it for the parking space, because your above theory just doesn't apply to her.
Because they're fun to ride. If you're scared of being in a car already, then a motorcycle isn't for you.
Once read, it is no longer like a letter, it is business correspondence, and a warrant is no longer required.
This is extremely relevant in law. Recently, the former head of the CIA used unsent drafts stored in a drafts folder to communicate with a lover.
It's also how the 9/11 terrorists communicated with each other: one shared web email account, they just saved and edited drafts to write back and forth.
Spoken like a person who never owned a Macbook. I am a Linux guy, and I am by no stretch of the imagination an Apple fan, but misinformed hatred is just a form of ignorance.

Pirate their first 3, at least they're worth a listen.
Markets, by definition, are artificial to begin with; very few are actually 'free'.
As always, the truth is in the middle.

It's re-rendering the toilets to flush the other way that'll cost more!
Buy a few HDDs, keep their shipping containers, make a backup and ship them to a friend in a different state.
Or just put them in a safety deposit box at a local bank.
It's like the sign says, "Do not shine laser in remaining eye."
LMAO, yeah, I'm sure the average Mexican complains daily about land lost in a war in the late 1840s.
"Miami Cubans" are mainly anti-Castro. Once he & his family are out of power, they'll be a lot more amenable to opening up Cuba.
You're not the only one. I get stuck behind these idiots all the time.
Why wouldn't they choose h.264/mp4? It's playable just about anywhere these days.
Correct. There is no such thing as the "sharing economy."
2048 is terrible. All the clones of Threes leave out important gameplay elements, making them stupidly easy.
So the Numbers Station folks aren't out of a job yet!
So, you like-a the sauce?
LMAO commenting on websites is a "basic freedom" now?
They just mean that everyone on Twitter and Youtube shared it :D #goviral #yolo

Welcome to Slashdot!
B-b-b-b-but fetuses don't breathe air directly! Clearly god has spoken.
The Appalachians profit hugely from misery? That's new to me.
LMAO, Taurine is not a stimulant.
Imagine a perfectly spherical chicken...
and if he grabbed a man by the throat, what would've happened?
The same thing? Why would anyone put up with physical assault by a superior in the workplace?
