2. Can big media producers really charge 30 bux for a DVD which cost 15 cents to make? And more importantly, should they be the only one to distribute it?
Keep in mind the huge amounts of cash it takes to produce though, a few million sometimes (as with most games) and then the wages of all those people in the creadits? Thats a lot of dosh...
Anyhow maybe DVD's n such will be downloadable like mp3's and some games in the near future, although I doubt it..
Steam is the only thing I can think of thats a good distribution system thats somtimes faster and cheaper.
Overall I don't think anyone really gives a damn about piracey, not unless its them who are being affected directly by it.. or movies or whatever stop being produced cause they're out of business.
