I have rented a few dvds that dont allow you to skip previews, That is competely retarded ,What if you owned the dvd for a number of years why still be forced to too see pontentially outdated advertising.Some let you skip others put the peviews in the Extras menu.
They stated they would let you skip violent or sexual explicit scenes what about being abled to skip sexually explicit advertising or questionable material! Big hypocracy there !You could be watching a family oriented program but get stinged with "sexual enhancement ads" or Some violent movie or video game ad being shown". Personally I love violence! But I hate seeing comericals for enzyte and Viagra or them genital herpies pills! :barf:
As for pirating ,I have no sympathy for the music industry! They overhcarge and gouge prices way to high , its not just because I go to the wrong stores, Its true you might save a few bucks but the average range is relatively the same. I go to just about any music store and I see a disk cd some of it isnt even recent music like Van halen being sold for 33 dollars!Geebus!The average price is 15-26 bucks but 30 isnt a uncommon amount.
In the 80's they said when the cds first came out they would bring the price down to 7 bucks like the records and cassettes, Once more started to make them .It never happend! Were still paying more then we should , Cds are cheaper to make today then ever but that has not stoped them.
The only cd I ever bought at a acceptable price is Kiss greatest hits for 7 bucks , but its only because Kiss isnt selling to good.
I thought they said were gonna lower prices after they started cracking down on file swaping? It doesnt look like it!
I havent fileswaped in a long time , Since the spyware and virus traffic was awful but I know many who still do,It really bugs up and lags your computer.
I have never taken pirated movies or games online, Since alot of time its poor quality and I dont get the maneuil and alot of games need cdkeys now.
Itunes doesnt sound to bad,If you think about it you could buy each song seperately it would probaily cost you less on Itunes then it would getting it retail. 12 songs at 99 cents each =rounded off is 12 bucks plus tax , If you get it at a store it could be 16-23 bucks plus tax. Interesting that I noticed they mentioned shutting down itunes, I guess since they dont want to have to pay us honnest prices and not rob us , They dont want compeition they want to keep their hogwash empires.
My cd burner is great if they ban I am still gonna keep on using it, I ask freinds if I can borrow their cds and I just burn off from them, I got Black Sabbath that way. Some I do buy I make another copy or transfer the data to my computer incase I lose the disc or if one of my freinds wants a copy.
