If retailed DVD's ( in their original packaging, made by the companies) were as cheap as $3, €4 or £2 would you still copy them anyway. It seems that copying DVD's, altough it can be a long process, is fun because you know that you have copied and created it yourself. Or is it just me being an idiot?

You're assuming everyone who uses this site copies dvd's they don't own.
In answer to your question I imagine people who do copy dvd's wouldn't copy them anymore, but the price drop doesn't have to be that dramatic IMO, £2 is a ridiculous suggestion, there's more cost in that after marketing, shipping, artwork, printing, media etc.
If new releases were under a tenner I'm sure they'd be more sales and mess copying, although people will always copy.

I don't think that's what he meant. I think he means... If it costs the same to back up or buy them in a store again (if your original broke). Would you still just back them up for fun.Originally Posted by Silky31
I've offten thought that about cd-r's. I feel slighted by music company's. If I can buy a blank CD-R for $.25. They MUST be buying them for $.05. They put music on it then charge me $25.99. If they cost $9.99 out the gate... i'd still be buying them. Haven't bought a CD in years.
On the flip side. I would rather pay $22.99 for a DVD (2 hours of entertainment) than $22.99 for a CD (50 minutes). Makes more sense.
While we are at it. When I used to make Music cd-R's at 2X speed it seemed like forever. Yet when I make backup dvd's at 2X speed I feel ok that it took that long. Wierd.
Ok. I'm done.Don't give in to DVD2ONE, that leads to the dark side. -
yeah cuz its worth it to pay that much for a dvd. cds cost the same as (sometimes more than) dvds. 95% of the time, theres only one or two songs on the whole cd that are good. the rest are just space fillers. a dvd on the other hand has the whole movie plus extras like commentary, other language tracks, making of documentaries and deleted scenes. to me its more worth it to buy a dvd than a cd.
