[QUOTE="Voony, post: 1008522, member: 144142"] I think that bob's post about pirating and theft was for me :-) I never said pirating is good or that people who actually do it are somehow right to do it because many CDs or DVDs are overpriced. My point was that if distributors would lower the price of CDs and DVDs when they are released, there would be much more people buying them. Alas we all want everything right now. The success of Netflix is due to the fact that you pay a little amount every month to watch an unlimited number of movies/tv shows. Many of my friends stopped downloading pirated movies and paid something to Netflix because it was affordable. I know if you can't afford it then just don't do it but come on, let's be realistic here, nowadays people want more and more for cheaper and cheaper. I'm not saying it's right, but what I'm saying is that distributors would make lots more money by lowering the price of a CD/DVD and reduce theft and pirating.
