"This is why the entertainment companies are so protective of their content."

lml- They are not protective of their content. If this was strictly that issue, I would agree with you. My beef is they are protective of distribution. By dominating and controlling distribution, they add value to their crappy content.

IMVHO, their content is so incredibly expensive when it's 99% useless and counterproductive(ie, Kennau's lastest movie about killing 11 or 12 people. Something like that? Wonder if they play cool rock music, for sound track royalties, while doing his murdering). It will be nice to have alternatives to Hollywood's distribution lock on morality and coolness. That's my hope for the new world of the Internet.

I'll get off my soapbox now because I'm sure the thread has heard enough of me on this issue. Sorry. -MikeM(From Florida)

PS I enjoyed reading your overall comments directed to elmatador.
