This reply will probably be the best one of the whole thread but stupid anti-Apple zealots, Windows/Android/Linux fanboy moderators will probably mod it into oblivion because facts are not as important as their twisted point of view of Apple.
I was merely saying that the issue is extremely complex on each extreme ends of the problem.
I guess we could add "but only if competition exists" but then we'd have to define competition. Just trying to define a law can be an endless process because you need to try and catch all possibilities and define everything in details.
What about the opposite idea? If your company has over 70% monopoly in a specific sector for over five years, it has to be split into two new companies and must compete with each other.
And even if support for it was added tomorrow, we probably couldn't use it for another decade or so because of Internet Explorer (insert version numbers still in use today).
You need a cable subscription to be able to use a streaming service.
That's how insane the old media pigs have become. It's not that they don't have a clue, it's that they don't even live in the same fucking century as the rest of the planet.
Troll or not, I do agree with him about the closed captioning. Not everyone speaks english natively and some actors are harder to understand than others. Or sometimes, there's too much music/FX in a scene to easily understand what they say too.

What I've always read is that the prices set by Apple and publishers were lower than the prices from Amazon.
Benefit as in public image.
Then go to McDonalds. Problem solved.
Regulatory agencies and lobbying are usually sugar-coated versions of corruption for the benefit of the general public.
Not necessarily.
That's impossible because that would mean all the flame wars and trolls are pointless.
And this is probably the second most important post of the whole thread, which shows you the other point of view of the whole problem.
Depending on how you view it, either Amazon are the bad guys, or Apple is.

You completely destroyed the punchline...
"I'm not saying the hole is the impact crater left from an alien landing... but it was aliens."
Then it's gonna suck.

But you can also do three types of colour reducing with ImageAlpha and then compress further with ImageOptim.
What we really need is a new container format that combines the image data of a JPEG with the 8-bit transparency layer of a PNG image.
But can your program beat the compression done by ImageOptim and ImageAlpha?
Wait, people still use the Internet?
Hey, watch your mouth buddy.
You should have written "It beats the shit out of fucking cable where every fucking channel is full of fucking commercials."
I'm not your buddy, pal!

Or the news from Mars.
AFAIK Hulu isn't giving Netflix any competition outside of the U.S.A.
Sounds like something Henry Ford would say to sell 3D printers.
