    yeah, I kinda like my definition. too bad the world dislikes me ;) :) :)
    edit: rant incoming. post a "tl;dr" and ignore
    a mass-pressed DVD has a production value of 1$ tops. make it 1.5$ for the print. add 3$ for the plastic box, 1.5$ for the inlay and 3$ for booklet and packaging. 1$ for mass-shipping. 5-10$ per copy for the developers.
    so the shop gets games for 15-20$ pre-sell value. the remaining 15-45$ are split between merchant and copyright holder. (and let's not get started on monthly fees of MMO games, yes?)
    same for movies and music. however inaccurate my estimates may be, but I feel slightly ripped off. so please excuse me, but if any 3 not-bargain-bin CD's cost more than average DSL flatrate - may the floating IP be with us.
    edit 2: yes, I support and enjoy the idea of non-profit entertainment.
