Subsidizing Warner Brothers in Their Fight Against Piracy

Warner Home Video is going to be taking the fight against piracy in China to the streets. Basic DVDs without special features will be made available shortly after being released on move screens. These special DVDS will cost about $3.00. A little later, they will offer DVDs with the added features will sell for $4.

I just checked the Warner Brothers website. We get DVDs a few months after the movie is released and we get to pay $30!

I don't know about you, but if Warner Brothers can afford to sell DVDs for $3 in China, they could afford to sell them for $3 here. Is there any doubt that we, as consumers, are being screwed by the movie companies and the recording industry?
