This whole issue of intellectual property goes way deeper than this Thread would have you believe but this isn't the place to hold this debate anyway (discussion maybe; debate not so much--too much intellectual knowledge and rigor required). The whole issue has been obviated by streaming and cheap resales anyway. I will agree that property-rights holders fumbled badly in not reformulating monetizing opportunities to produce win-win situations but that ship has sailed.
