Pete, I would pay for good content, but I refuse to pay more than once for something. Yeah. When a new version comes out, you should be required to just pay for the media, not for the use of intellectual property that you already paid for. Also, if kids scratch the CD or DVD, it should not mean that the use of intellectual property is "revoked", and you have to pay again. Some think that with the internet, copyright itself should be abandoned as new knowledge is made freely and everyone can copy it. Other means should be made for compensation for the creators. What do you mean by this? You want some commissar awarding compensation? Joe
