    • Can DivX’s Safe Harbor Protect It from Stage6 Pirates? [view article]
      People can stand up to the music companies if they want to by not buying their music. As long as people pay the outrageous CD prices, Universal and all the others will continue to protect their cash cow. All people have to do is turn their backs on the entertainment industry for a little while and the message will be clear.

      Personally, I refuse to pay $18+ for a CD. Either I buy it used or I download it from the internet. Why should I as the consumer pay for a music company's decision to pay artists like Madonna, JLO, Janet Jackson $100+ million salaries. Same with movie stars. I should pay $30 for a DVD so John Travolta can afford to fly around in his own private 747 and get paid $20 million for a movie?! No way!

      I am sick of the entertainment industry expecting consumers to finance their ultra lavish lifestyles. Nope, I don't feel guilty one bit for downloading music and videos. When the price is reasonable, I'll pay it. When it's not, I'll find the product elsewhere, be it from Stage6 or wherever.
