-> I have to support John, but my support has nothing to do with
-> copyright laws, and, unfortunately neither does your argument!  You
-> are using the copyright laws to defend your position against *free
-> enterprise*!  I am NO lawyer, outhouse or otherwise, but I do know
-> that the copyright laws were designed to protect an

It has EVERYTHING to do with copyright. The movies on the tapes are
copyrighted. John doesn't own them - you don't own them and I don't own
them. We do not have a legal right to sell movies.
-> When a car maker designs, developes, builds, and ships a car, that
The car comparission doesn't work because cars are not copyrighted.
-> It is not your place to argue copyright infringement.  If Disney is
-> worried about it THEY'LL DO IT!  They won't.  If they would, they
-> would of done so years ago, and not just with videos, but ALL of the
-> Disney collectables that are on the market.
I don't think it's YOUR place to tell me what I can and cannot do. I am
an interested party in that Jonh offered these tapes to me as well as
everyone else. Also, as a Disney stock holder I want the company to make
as much profit as possible.

-> So what this comes down to is that you don't want to pay the price
-> that John is asking for his legitimately acquired videos.  Fine, go
-> somewhere else and try to find it at a cheaper price.  You can't
-> find it cheaper you say?  Well then, if you don't want to pay the
-> price I guess that you don't want that bad do you?!!  SUPPLY AND
-> DEMAND = FREE ENTERPRISE!  That's part of what America is all about!
->
Well, I agree that they were aquired legally. People can buy as many
copies as their budget supports, but that doesn't mean they are free to
sell them. You say SUPPLY AND DEMAND = FREE ENTERPRISE, but you neglect
to mention that free enterprise in this country is governed by the law
of the land. One such law is the law against anuthorized distribution of
video tapes.
