Same with movies. What is the difference in downloading or burning movies, or popping in a blank VCR tape and taping a movie off of HBO?

nothing is different, the record, movie production companies, and game programmers, want a reason to charge more, and set up ways to charge per song, they see it as un tapped money that they are missing out on

call it corporate greed
