Dear MPAA-
Thank you for making my brand new 47' Panasonic HDTV obsolete before I have even had it in my home for 2 weeks. I also want to thank you for that sick feeling in my stomach every month I read my monthly bill from Best Buy until I get this thing paid off.
After screwing me royally, how can I begin to justify purchasing a brand new TV to view your copy protected movies? Here's how: GIVE ME FIRST RUN MOVIES IN HDTV!
Hear me out. If you provide first run movies for a reasonable price per viewing (I'm thinking 10-15 dollars) via satellite or cable distribution AND give me the option to have that movie on a Tivo like device or VOD function on cable so that I have VCR convenience, then I can justify buying another 2000 dollar HDTV. Why? Because I won't go see your content in a crappy theater that can't provide me with half the viewing quality that I can in my home theater.
The only way I could possibly justify that new TV is only with FIRST RUN MOVIES. Let me say that again... FIRST RUN MOVIES. If you only release movies on the staggered time frame like you do for DVD and PPV, screw it. I'll watch it on DVD on my current HDTV and save my money for the next piece of technology that you will obsolete.
Thanks again for cheating me out of my current $2000,
Patrick
