Well there the que, carl your paying to use the software (company) not to own it as it once was or should be Carl there what they don't tell you. Apple does just this Carl with O/S + all there software - it's all linked to a central account, that get screwed up or banned you lose the access to the software; O/S; etc you have paid for in the first place, did you know this carl ? many apple users that have been hacked or banned for not fault of their own have found this out.
Many new produce lines are going to this set up now-days eg; BF3 Cod etc + wouldn't be surprised that the new windows 8 is going to be to same either.
When you use PTB you get a full working copy not a link to piece of software or access to it, for it later to be not working after you paid out + the customer service doesn't exist in the first place for some...
that the pure money vampire greed model for you, which you you'd like to be in carl ?
#darkside - having a full copy no problems
#currently legal - just having access + then cut off or problems no long after, to face poor or no comeback from the company you bought it off in the first place.
I know which I'd like to be on.... on the pirate side where I get little problems, which makes life much easier in the long term.
peace out~ toonlight

Well cost for anything media wise are over the top, can be made for lesser money & better content in the first place.. first point.... second do you kow how much a US show get for a ep of a currently running series? millions on top of millions per series in total. That more than enough to go around, too much for the chief ex pocket lining.
Then again you barking up the wrong tree carl...... film re-releases/releases are over priced from the start eg; DVD/Blueray etc These are copies from the main reel, which costs them pennies in the pound but charge a whooping fee just own a copy under licence, yes you got it "under licence" read a back of a dvd or some of the paper info that come with any DVD carl..... you don't own it your getting a copy under a contract which limit your "copy" uses - private but commercial you have to pay a fee to the royalty board to show it or use it. Thats not a good funding structure at all.... a poor one at best !

Well no, your right there, but only there as once the per-say owner over steeps it's mark with rip-off prices or charges just for a copy or new add-on..... then we as group of person can say no we won't pay your over top price, then open it out for the rest to use it, for free to recoup the money given to the greedy owner in the first place, it's tough justice to the money vipers out there to wake up or not...what the case may be.
As for "Game Of Thrones" + "
$24m" it's how over blow anything these days, yes It may cosy money but there other ways just like PTB (funding model) put to the media industry that would account for any thing to do with any new release or project in the works funding wise carl....
