I agree. I think what is sometimes missed however, is that what an "individual" believes is too expensive has little bearing on what the general public believes is too expensive...to wit, I stopped going to see first run films in the theater because the price of movie tickets did not justify the annoyance I had with other theater goers talking during the films:P Obviously, judging by the recent successes hollywood has had, my private boycott has had little effect. :P

Which I'm a bit sad about, but totally understand, as you said, the market does decide.

And, I didn't run off to the "darknets" in protest..I just wait until Netflix gets them
