survival of the fittest is rule supreme. My ancestors left the trees a long time ago - I guess they felt compassion was prudent over base laws of the animal kingdom - I watched a movie tonight with Cuba Gooding - it was called RADIO - imdb.com a true story about this SLOW human - he was not the fittest - but they made the movie about him and not you - why? how many million falun gong dead - they were not the fittest eh? Word of advise, do not wait for the train wreck, Don't worry, I am not, I am not sweating my baltz off so much that I am with shovel in backyard digging holes like mogambo guru. as there is no train, only the restructuring of a civilization in its 4703rd year, after hitting bottom for 200 odd years. You still don't believe bhagwati is right when he says the rising tide can lift all boats? That someone must suffer for someone else to get ahead? DVD, the truth is simple, that you have been, assuming you buy DVDs, ripped off for a long time, and only now is the math transparent. General, there are so many P2P - bearshare, kazaa, winmx, bittorrent, shareaza - etc etc - then you have USENET with so much free binary going back and forth 1's and 0's galore! You, shades, have been drinking from the Koolaid bucket, Koolaid tastes great - black cherry is my favorite flavor this week. P.s. here in HK we occasionally have CD/DVD available from across the border, legit copies, but marked with 'for sale and distribution in China only', obtainable from Walmart in Shenzhen. Same movies, same stars, same stories, only more reasonably priced, as it should in any well-functioning and dynamic capitalistic society where the fittest survive. Cd's - dvd's - stop living like a dinosaur - flash memory - NAND - wireless networks sharing movies and music all over the globe - you still go buy shiny metal discs that coconut can scratch so easily so you have to buy/steal/burn another - I thought you lived in the future dear general - not the past? yro.slashdot.org Is Piracy In the Consumers' Best Interests? Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday April 22, @09:51AM from the cheap-dates dept. moviemodel writes "Warner Home Video in China are beginning trials of 'simple pack' DVD releases at $1.50. They state they are doing this as a test to see if they can recover a market lost to pirate DVD's at 75c each. They also sell higher priced and more complete DVD sets as 'silver' and 'gold' packs. Maybe this marks the beginning of movie industry realism and long hoped for shift in business models, forced by piracy. Perhaps they can take it on as a better model for movie downloads worldwide, facing the same problem of competition from pirated movies. Is such a model viable in the long term?"
