If you refuse to buy a movie, theater, opera, or whatever ticket on the grounds that you can’t make a recording of the performance while you are there, you are entitled to that belief, just don’t show up with a camcorder and not expect to be tossed out.
You obviously dont understand that movies and books are not the same thing.. And that you pay more for the DVD (your permanent copy) than the projected movie (which is obviously less permanent). And that you get a lot more for your money when you watch the movie on the big screen (a night out, better sound system, bigger screen) which is why it costs as much as it costs.

Value for money obviously have no meaning to you. So should we be confiscating your full price car after one year, just because houses cost 10 times more, and you are prepared to pay for that. Stupid analogy, but your make about as much sense. :frusty:
