Sony totally messed up when they failed to just start making ONLY SACD/Cd dual layr discs.
SACD would be mainstream now if they did.
As is, the lame SACD hobbles on with a small group of users.
Funny how the article diss's the seller, the customer, and everybody involved.
Sort of a glass half empty instead of half full attitude.
Same thing aboout artist royalties.. Well maybe those free records would NEVER have been purchsed anyway, same thing with a lot of free downloads. Folks download free 100,000 songgs. What for? nothing. and i mean that BOTH ways. Nothing in cost, and no reason, they would have never bothered if they had to pay, just a hooby to waste time.
I got tons of free DVDs. theysit on shelves. many i never watched. they re just junk. If i had to pay full price, i would just have fewer o nthe shelf.
Same with all the media I have bought used. 6,000 LPs, maybe a handfull new. Ditto CD and DVD.
(I have zero downlaods, free, paid for, none. I do have a pile of burned from owned CDs for the car.

- Columbia used it in the 50's to sell 33&1/3 equipment too bad Sony didn't have the sense to do that with SACD - Elizabeth 23:09:03 11/12/11 (0)
