Damn capitalists and their evil manipulations...

Talk about hyperbole. There
is a precedant for replacing damaged media. In the 90s almost all software vendors would replace damaged disks for a nominal charge. They would also exchange 3.5" or 5.25" inch floppies (depending) on which you needed basically for the cost of shipping. And, when CDs came out, they began offering those for a nomimal charge. And some children's game publishers (knowing that children would damage the media) also offered replacement CDs at a nominal charge. To me there is a difference between free enterprise and capitalism. Capitalism is when all capital is in the hands of the few. Free enterprise defines itself.
