Of course, it could be said that the suits are who actually make it an industry. Here's the deal. I was working in the music/DVD department of the store for a while tonight. As I idly looked over some DVD sets, it struck me that these things were pretty expensive. Three of Bergman's films (copyright 1960-62) went for $70+ and a "Best of the Marx Brothers" (original copyright in the 1930s) was going for around $50. Now, the youngest film was over 40 years old. These things should be in the public domain. They shouldn't cost more than $5 per disc, but, yet, here they are going for about $16 a DVD. It is effing criminal. And it is why I do what I can to make the lives of the various suits as miserable as I can.
