Well CDs I don't understand...those are dirt cheap and music stars don't need that much money.
DVDs I sort of understand...DVDS are still cheap, though movie costs certainly are high. If you expect to pay less than a dollar for a movie, then realistically there would be no Spiderman, Superman, Batman etc...it does cost a lot to make such good movies. Maybe $10 for new DVDs though?
And games I do understand...those cost a fair amount to make, and developers practically break even on a lot of games. Since they make multiple games, they usually make their money back, but if more games were pirated, many companies would lose money, and only the biggest developers would be able to hang on...not good for gamers...we want more games! Game developers don't make that much money compared to movies or music, and I think the $40-$50 price tag makes sense. When they drop the price "a few months later" (really, it's more like half a year to a year) it's not to a quarter of the price, it's more like half...and they're losing money on those.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
