Bolding your points don't make them any more right. If it's good enough to listen doesn't mean it's good enough to buy. Especially at those prices. Depending on the target economy and exchange rate, a standard DVD is 25% of minimum wage and more expensive then the player.

I don't listen over and over, I don't have a laptop and I don't need it. Demonizing me doesn't invalidate any argument I made.

Neither does the idea that rationalizing makes a point invalid.

I pay for most of the things I use and play. But I know full well that I do so because I can afford to. I was presenting another side of the argument and catching flack for it. I thought a different view would stimulate intelligent conversation, instead I managed to organize a mob.

So, that's it for me on this line of discussion. You'll have to make a different shaped straw man to fight.
