Funny, but there is nothing about this situation that compares with 
your examples. Just a small difference in the way the SAME bits are 
delivered.

If I go to the theater I get a big screen experience and access to 
the content when it is released.

If I buy a DVD I get to keep it.

And Broadcasting if far from free.

And I do whine about paying for cable and still having to watch the ads.

Your not funny, or even close to being accurate.
