Dvorak on France and Ipods
Pretty good points there. Itunes and Ipods should not be so intertwined (you have to use Itunes if you have an Ipod, and the music format is specific to Apple). Also the whole movie piracy thing...when they charge $20-$30 to download a movie, piracy is a strong choice. When they charge $2-5 to download the same movie, then piracy is less of a choice for people like me (not like i download movies too much). It's all about money vs convenience. We can get this stuff on Ebay for $5, so why can't we download it for the same amount? Some day the MPAA will wake up and realize it's all about copyright and not the medium. Download should equal the going price of a movie, if you can download all the features. If you can't, then it should be a smaller percentage. I've heard once that the cost of making a music CD boils down to %5 for the music artist, the rest goes to the record company for cover art, etc. But if you download the album, there is no cover art. So those people don't deserve that slice of pie. Accordingly, most download services allow you to download an album for $10. Never mind that the same album on CD sells on Ebay for $2.
