I always try to pay for my media in whatever way supports the creators the best.

But if Amazon won’t sell the format I’m buying, I’ll gladly pay someone who will. And laws made by Amazon soley for Amazon’s benefit do not obligate me to become some kind of detective when I buy a DVD.

So no one should force Amazon to produce DVDs, but Amazon shouldn’t be able to stop others from producing what they refuse to produce. There’s already laws about abandoned products that could be applied.

This is just Amazon using their money to be a bully.

This whole thing wouldn’t be an issue if copyright was a reasonable length, like 5 years.
