I suppose the answer is "at the last possible moment" since their profits are massively higher as long as they are screwing us...  Won't someone please think of the user?? :)  Of course as a for-profit corporation they keep the user in mind only when that means more money for them... so I guess I sort of forgive them.  But it means I have to support their competition.<br><br>I don't really care about the specifics of the model I just wish that I, as someone who only ever watches movies once, could pay less for a movie than someone who watches it 50 times.  It doesn't have to be linear, but isn't that person getting more value out of it than me, even if its not 50x more value?  Ah, how I long for a fluid entertainment market....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2007 7:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple confirms Paramount and iTunes deal]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[15 bucks for new releases with no extras, less than DVD quality, fewer audio options, DRM galore, etc? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smeagol]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2007 4:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple confirms Paramount and iTunes deal]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you don't want it, don't buy it.<br>For example, I prefer Netflix.

The 5th gen iPod screen resolution is 320x240, but iTunes video downloads are 640x480. They playback on your iPod at 320x240, but if you yous the video output of your iPod to a regular TV the resolution is played back at the full 640x480. This is also the case if you play it back on your computer or via Front Row to your television. With the announcement that the Apple TV  (With incidentally is listed on Apples site as an iPod) will playback 720p it is not unforeseeable that the videos wouldn't be downloaded in HD. If anyone knows the actual answer, I'll be listening.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[caleb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2007 5:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple confirms Paramount and iTunes deal]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can you guys please refrain from slaughtering the movie titles and just get off your asses and write the whole title. it's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2007 10:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple confirms Paramount and iTunes deal]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/apple-confirms-paramount-and-itunes-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, the agreement was only for back catalog titles. Paramount still refuses to give Apple the discount they want for new releases. So, there won't be any Paramount new releases, and pretty much all of the titles will be available cheaper on DVD.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[L. M.
