Why am I willing to pay more for music than I would for video?
Because most movies have already made back the cost of production at the box offices. Even shitty movies make at least 10 million at the box office. Then the DVD profit is just adding to this already big total.
For music, on the other hand, this is not the case. The CD is the only source of income.
a similiar occurrence is happening at my school. on a public access drive (that means anyone, the students and the teachers) maintained by the office there is an excel file which has the username, address, phone number, etc. of all 1000+ students in my school. It has been there for 2 years now.

"but I think the threat to humans is over-hyped by the media." Tell that to the 50 million people who died from bird flu in 1918.
