Libraries do this to an extent. When books start to physically fail (i.e. pages missing, covers torn, etc), librarians will order a new book to replace the damaged one. This is what HarperCollins appears to be doing. I can respect that. But why 26? Seems like an arbitrary number to me./div>
Mike, I typically agree with your posts. You're usually spot on. But in this case I don't know if we have all of the facts. I would suspect that when people rent a DVD it's because they want to watch a movie and not the entire theatrical experience.
That being said, I think it's pretty crummy to show the bonus feature menu items and then block them from playing.

I saw an article about some military guys that were allowed to carry their weapons on to the plane. But not their ammo. (http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/11/18/another-tsa-outrage/) How did the law enforcement personal get to carry his ammo if the people who defend our country cannot?

It's about time someone started to notice. I almost tend to think of this as bullying. The bigger guy tries to take down the smaller one because the smaller guy is becoming more successful. Whatever happened to competition?/div>
