For a $30 DVD it had better have some really good bonus features,
interviews, etc.
If it's the plain movie, then no. If there is some value added above and
beyond the movie itself, then yes.

Conversely, does anyone here think it's reasonable that someone should
be able to charge $30 for a DVD? I doubt it. And the argument, "if you
don't want to pay, don't buy" doesn't cut it. There's no competition on
movie ticket and DVD prices, so the consumer gets what price the
industry fixes. Find another industry where that's the norm.
People are using P2P to avoid what they consider to be over inflated
prices. Does that make it right? Maybe not, but it's probably just as
right as any rebellion against what is seen as an unfair regime.
