Let em do what they want
Let the recording artists and studios charge whatever they want and put any restrictions they want in place.

Eventually, and probably sooner rather than later they will price themselves right out of a job. Box office revenue has been decling for what two years now. Don't know the figures on music sales except to hear that Apple is doing pretty good at 99 cents a song. But I also have heard that the studios are already trying to or are bumping the price for the better known and most popular ones.

Hey mabe we'll get back to having traveling troubadors that will sing and put on plays for a meal and donations gathered by passing the hat.

Personally I haven't been to a movie, or bought any music for about five years now, and no I haven't stolen it by illegally downloading it either.

If you want to change things quit just complaining and and put your money where your mouth is by keeping it in your wallet or purse as the case may be. If you quit buyin they will start to see things your way.
