> do you really believe it's fair for them to sell $75 - $100 boxed DVD sets of TV shows on which they've already profitted more than enough?
I'd have to answer yes to that one. If you own something you should be free to sell it for whatever price you want to set on it. If the buyer thinks the price is too high or unfair then don't buy it.
Do you think it's fair that an automobile can sell for $50,000, or $100,000, or more? If you don't think it's fair do you refuse to buy it or do you steal it?

I'm tired of people jumping into these threads telling me I'm wrong and then making ridiculous arguments like, "DVD boxsets are overpriced." -
I guess as technology progresses it will be even more difficult for an average Joe to make out what is legal and what is not. Just a few years ago "backing up" a DVD was a "science" in itself. The tools were scarce and primitive, it just felt like brewing a "moonshine". Nowadays new devices arrive on the shelves that make the whole process automatic and trivial. This gives a perception that whatever the technical capabilities of such devices are must be legal just as the device itself. Especially, if the names on both sides of the fence are the same (like Sony). They produce movies and at the same time equip you with whatever you need to copy them. But don't you dare. If you do they'll be all over your ass. They want all the benefits of addressing all your needs, whatever they might be, catering to your most intimate wishes...
Some will see it as the ultimate hypocrisy. some not.
More discussions are coming, companies will never be happy with the level of protection they enjoy just as the public will feel that it is being robbed of the essential freedoms. This principal is quite old and well known. Show me the area where governing body (whatever it might be) is satisfied with their circle of influence and public (or individuals) doesn't desire to broaden their freedoms.
