You're an idiot. If you were not the studio that produced the works
or are not the person or entity that has the RIGHTS to the works, you
do NOT have a right to PRODUCE them in any way shape or form.

You're an idiot.

Apples and oranges.

>GREED is.

Absolutely not. The price is quite reasonable, and cost of
manufacture has nothing to do with it nor does piracy concerns. It
just happens to be an acceptable price point to any civil adult. It's
you piss and moan retards that need to manufacture reasons why you
think you are being ripped off that have a problem. You need to learn
how to conform to societies norms, not try to make them up as you go
along. The opinion of you and your bar room buddies is *not* that
norm.

You're a goddamned idiot.

You obviously cannot. You rest somewhere near pond scum.

You are the robber. I'll come over and rob your safe, fuktard!

Most people these days are gang boy mentality twits raised by gang
boy mentality retarded parents, and those that are raised right do not
share your view, idiot. You are NOT in the majority. Not even close.
Even if you were, that doesn't make you right. The folks you fuck
over are real people too. If we had everything your way, they'd be
sticking a red hot poker up your ass.

Your a bullshit excuse for a man.

If you are too stupid to get it, you are to stupid to discuss it.

>And why are there inventories of discontinued products?

I know where a warehouse full of twenty copies each of every 45 disc
produced since the mid 40's. All UNPLAYED.

Why? cause that is the way they want it. Ever heard of an archive?
One day, those discs may be the only pristine versions in existence.

Are you really that clueless? Do I even need to ask?

> Presumably they've been discontinued due to poor sales.

No. there are scheduled production runs. PERIOD. There are films
STILL waiting in line to be mastered to DVD. When they DO get done,
it will be a specific sized run. Very few get new runs ran. Only
really BIG sellers. It, however, is not for YOU to decide.

> It costs money to store them.

Minuscule. Les than it costs to put up with your bullshit.

Dude... you are one bent perception fuktard.

Obviously. I blame your parents.

I am talking about the master that gets used to make a REAL DVD. It

Yo are one thick fuktard.
