Re: In order for it to succeed..
The success of iTunes has spoken, people will buy into DRM---
Um, don't think the few million in sales iTunes even comes near the CD sales marks, iTunes was simply the first to do it simply for morons. Nevermind the catchy ads, I've had many friends lose iTunes material once the ipod battery dies, how do you rectify that? with a cd or mp3, you haven't that problem. also, who's to say they aren't purposely making crappy batteries that force this situation(and up iTunes sales to fools paying twice for the same limited bogus content).
Same goes to movies, once the mega chains get outfitted with HD cams that show films, clearly, with high res content(higher than DVD), better managed sound(the yokels at my local theater couldnt setup a pair of headphones right), GOOD seating, not just barely better than b4(note the wake your ass up chair you sat in for 2+ hrs), reasonable prices for drinks and snacks, $6.50 for a hotdog, gimme a friggin break. Until this fundamental greed change happens, you can kiss the theater experience goodbye, they've bilked us saps for way too long and cannot understand our ire. My bud spent the equivalent of a movie night out once a month, for one year, for his family of 4 on building a home theater ROOM on his house. and let me tell you, it blows the doors off any theater that isn't IMAX. HD projector and all, 10 foot screen, and 8.1 sound, and some seriously sweet HT lounge chairs that caress the ass into thinking it went to heaven! It's amazing what you can do with money when you don't throw it blindly at someone dangling overpriced candy you can't really eat in front of your face(hollywood+chains). |
