Why are we paying ~$20 for a DVD when the Chinnese pay $.75 for the just as good bootleg?

Well Warner Home Video seems to think that they can compete with piracy by selling the Chinnese something for 2x the bootleg price, and still come out OK.
What about us here in the States? Your fucking gouging us!

Please start selling DVD’s in “simple pack” form. Hell let me download the ISO image, and burn my own DVD. There by saving physical space, packaging costs, recycling issues, and distribution. I’ll just keep your DVD in my 300 disc $10 case logic.

Take My Music . . . Please

Oct. 5 - The Beastie Boys, David Byrne and Brazilian pop legend Gilberto Gil will appear on a new CD along with 13 other artists next month—not exactly earth-shattering news. But what’s unique about the disc is that diehard fans are not only likely to end up copying, remixing and swapping it online; they’re actively encouraged to do so. The compilation, due out at month’s end, is both a legal experiment and the opening salvo in a war against the music industry’s zero-tolerance policy on file sharing. And if the folks behind it have it their way, both the artists and their fans will come out winners.
