for a video rental store to buy a dvd to put on its shelf, they're generally not allowed to just walk into a futureshop or hmv and pick it off the shelves for normal price. no, they have to buy 'special rentable' dvds even though its usually the exact same thing
I think my aunt had said its like 50-75$ canadian for most dvds (she runs a small rental business). So yes, it is cheaper for them to buy a dvd than a tape, but itst not as cheap as you think...
quite agree:) more ppl should use linux for the lack of spyware at current.. of course if we all move to linux then they will attemt to implement spyware for linux
its just a vicious cycle i suppose
