Ah, but if you're Time/Warner you're managed by MBAs who believe that success comes from reducing the work force and screwing the customer. Now that I have the cartoons I will never, never do business with them unless they learn to treat customers respectfully (and I'm not holding my breath). |

My guess is that they want to avoid paying for warehouse space, while still having a base of consumers willing to pay $30-$40 a set for this stuff without realizing that if they wait a year or two, it can be had for $3-$6. |

I'd say that's a pretty darn astute guess. Personally I don't buy many new DVDs, especially not from "Warner," as these heckholes call themselves. I don't mind spending $ for a good cause, but CDs with lyrics about killing cops and beating women aren't that great a cause IMO. They make it clear they don't need my money, so they don't get it. |

In view of all the good things that George Feltenstein and the catalogue division have done over the years, it will take a lot more than suing a company which didn’t live up to its contract or anger at the WB music division to turn me against them. |

Yeah, I'm with Mr. Hale on this... I don't understand at all. If a Warner Bros. boxed set sells for $60 SRP, and $40 pre-order at Amazon, and then shows up a year later for $25 at Costco, I'm happy. If remaindered DVD sets were then supposed to be destroyed but are being sold for $6 at Big Lots, it costs Warners money, and who would wish that on a company that has been better than anybody at releasing vintage movies (including shorts and cartoons) and TV shows? I mean, I am happy to get that giant "History of Rock & Roll" boxed DVD set for $6, I'm not complaining... but to somehow "blame Warner Bros." for being unhappy about it doesn't make sense to me. |
