I know this is an old thread, but Jack, the large portion of the price when you buy a CD or DVD is the RIGHTS to material, not the medium itself. A single blank CD or DVD is maybe a dollar or two.

When you buy a coffee maker, you're buying the physical insturment, not the right to use it.

I think we are in agreement...
