No, they don't have it wrong (Score 1)

This is NOT like Microsoft selling you the latest copy at a reduced price. This is like you having an ancient copy of Microsoft Office 1.0 on a 5-1/4" floppy, and expecting to get the latest copy of Office 2000 on DVD for half-price. Just try it. They only extend that grace to a very recent, almost equivalent version. It is NOT clearly wrong to have to pay for the original content twice in order to get the content in the newer version. When will these ninnies understand that IT IS A COPYRIGHT. That means, you get ONE copy, and you CAN'T COPY IT. You can't run off Xerox copies of War and Peace and hand them around to your friends, and you can't make cassette copies of your Vinyl albums and pass them around either. In spite of that, the record companies have for years looked the other way when people make convenience cassette copies for their own use under a term they call "fair use". So go find somebody who has turntable, make a copy of your vinyl album into a computer, and burn yourself a CD. The record company shouldn't have to do this for you for free, or for half-price, or anything else. Consider how rediculous this model sounds: Whooops! I gained a few pounds, can I get a new suit that fits me for half-price since I already own one just like it that's 2 sizes smaller? I can't find my electric drill, but I know I've got one around here somewhere. Can't you just give me another one at half-price if I show you a receipt to prove I bought one 2 years ago? Look, I ate a steak yesterday, and it was good, and now I want another one. So can I get that one for half-price, since part of the old one is still laying around in my stomach somewhere? A record or a CD is property, just like any other property. You can make all the copies you want for your own convenience, and probably no one will care. But don't expect anybody else to do that for you for free.
