I can’t stand it anymore, this thread is driving me crazy, should I or shouldn’t I. My friend who is a record collector is splitting the box with me. I get the BD, and the CD’s, he rips the CD’s, he gets the records. We will work out the package, one gets it, one takes pictures. The ring is the problem. Well at least I am going to get to listen to this December 1st release.

Ok, literally EVERYONE is going to hate me for posting this but I'm only doing it to prove my earlier point about the music industry.

When you buy the set marpow and keep the CD's it is illegal (against the DMCA) for your friend to "rip" them and keep those copies. Under the DMCA, whenever a person sells or gives away their stamped CD's they are supposed to destroy any copies ("rips") they have made of those discs.

Personally, I couldn't care less what you do but my point is this box set is so expensive that it is forcing otherwise decent people into committing illegal acts and that's exactly how the greed of the music industry spurred people to start illegally downloading or "ripping" in the first place.

In other words, the music industry brought this on themselves.

Now, if they would have just issued a single surround blu-ray for $20 hardly anyone would copy it.

I hardly found Salsdali's post offensive as I also put my two cents in regarding the fact that since this IS the third time around for Rush's A Farewell to Kings in Hi Def 5.1, it would be nice, as Mr. S. states if they did release a stand alone BD~A [with the 2 RBCDS] for those who really don't want the kitchen sink.
...MOST especially the vinyl.

In the end and as we are all well aware for those who DO love these boxsets, it IS nice to know they are offering this deluxe edition for whatever the cost.

As far as delving into the machinations of the 'Evil Music Empire' ....... that's really become a moot point [in other words POINTLESS].

At least they're still giving us 5.1 remasters for our hungry Universal Players!
