You can't compare the price of DVD to the price of a CD. The DVD is an aftermarket product priced accordingly to its distrubution channel.
A CD is the only distribution for a musical product other than legal musical downloading. And in that case you can download just one song for $.99 or less, hence less money for an intended package product.
A movie makes its revenue by release in theatres, on pay-per-view, on premium cable stations, on DVD, and finally on regular Cable/TV channels. This is why movie studios can price a DVD so reasonably.
-----Excuse me for questioning the integrity of the supreme governments you had in mind. After all, governments and politicians that run them never make mistakes and are never dishonest. Idiot.-----
The US was founded on rule of law, and that's what governs us. It's not the most perfect system of all time, but it is the best so far. MS is a monopoly in the OS market, most IT people have known it for years as do most attorneys involved in business law. They are also anti-competitive when it comes to other products as well. Please don't state your pessimistic opinion about the "War" and "War on Drugs" as a justification for not trusting the other governments decisions. You are arguing illogically on the subject at hand.
-----I moved to the Caribbean so I could ensure that not one dime of the money I earn is squandered on injustice sponsered by your flawless governments.-------
I'm glad you moved out of the country, but don't complain about the US if you refuse to live here. I also believe your voting rights and citizenship should be revoked (or why don't volutarily give them up) as you don't pay taxes to the US. It's the utter beauty of the US that people like you can benefit from what our country gives it's citizens and yet owe nothing in return. Your loyalty is only to your self-satisfaction, a perfect example of the worst trait that other countries hate about our citizens. You should be grateful you received the right to be the way you are by being a US citizen. Jerk-off.
Your argument is invalid as MS has been prosecuted by state, federal, and european governments for their monopolistic business practices in the OS market.
Also, If you really believe that our government is as oppressive as you state then please move to another country.
