I won't be purchasing any more music until they update the purchases to include a license to include the "upgrade" of the music to different media. Bear with me, but I'm old. At one time, I had over 400 LPs. Then came 8 track...smart me ignored it, and they came up with the cassette. I upgraded most of my collection and had almost 300 tapes when out popped the CD. I upgraded some more and have over 800 CDs, about 75% of which I ripped to my computer and then transferred to my MP3 player(s!). Today I have a 1 TB media drive on my wireless network sharing over 2000 songs and about 300 movies, including home movies and pictures. I once had over 400 VHS tapes, and today have over 400 DVDs (about 30% I had on tape). The RIAA and MPAA should have no say in what I choose to do with these (unless I copy and sell them to make money.) Granted I have movies and songs downloaded that I never owned, but the way I look at it, the RIAA and MPAA owes me for all the money I've lined their pockets with.

I feel that the future will bring digital downloading to the forefront. I believe that theaters will either go broke or a consumer will receive a DVD (when released) with the purchase of a $15 ticket.
