MarioFanaticXV: For it to be capitalism, you need the Right of First Sale, which isn't really enforced with digital media for the most part.
mrkgnao: Can you please explain, in layman's terms, what that is?
The right to sell something you've legally purchased. In the US (and many other countries), companies can't tell individuals that they can't sell their goods second-hand. So if tomorrow I wake up and decide "I don't want my Avatar DVD collection anymore", Nickelodeon can't tell me I'm not allowed to sell it. However, the law was never updated with regards to digital media, and almost all forms of such are locked to the user in some way.
If the right of first sale were extended to digital media, then regional pricing would collapse as people from places where the price is cheap could make a huge profit by buying and reselling the products to people in regions with higher costs.

neurasthenya: Why so serious? :|
Sorry, I hear people all the time that seriously think "Capitalism is greed.", and it's sometimes hard to tell when something is serious or meant as a joke in that regard.
