But isn't that true of everyone who has to be,"the first kid on the block", to have just about anything? They're all paying R & D costs as well.Don't forget the original is not a copy and it does have production cost, before the copy process begins. In essence you are not paying for a copy, you are paying the bill on how much it cost to create the very first production.

Have you ever seen these garbage, "walk in a tape the movie DVDs"? The only way I'd pay anyone for one of them, is if I was dying of cancer, and probably wouldn't live until the official Blu-Ray release....!
People around my way walk around selling this crap. And people around here also buy it. But then, people around my way, are living testament to the complete and utter failure of both modern parenting skills, and the public school system.
