The shins garden state scene It sounds as if the band is

The shins garden state scene It sounds as if the band is more upset that they were not told until late in the game that the BD version was being released and this is their way of protesting. Anyway, the shins garden state scene band is no more qualified to tell anyone what the value of the BD is than you or any other message poster on an HD internet forum. That decision is ENTIRELY up to the consumer. Unfortunately, the band has forced their opinion on the rest of the world. Its unfortunate, because Im a fan of the band and probably would have picked this one up. Actually the band are probably amongst the best placed to rate the value of the Blu-ray v DVD. you know, that slightly important element every one of you PS3 bit-rate meter obsessed watchers ignore almost entirely but they are fully aware of the cost structures involved. Go try troll someone else. The original article suggested that the band was not contacted about this release. Im pretty sure that played heavily into the band opposing the release, nevermind potential royalty issues. It sounds like the band hasnt even SEEN or heard the new BD release. So their opinions of it arent exactly educated. Because, you know, 16mm film doesnt have enough resolution to manage They sent that to their fans because they dont think theyre getting a proportionally larger royalty for the HD versions higher price, plain and simple. Money, people, nothing more. The description of the shins garden state scene original documentary is valid: it is a grainy black white documentary. I guess it wasnt that high on the most requested movies on Blu-ray. And, for those who know little about it, Jeff Tweedy from Wilco has been one of the most vocal artists about illegal downloading and free streaming. Their most recent albums were made availaible as a stream on their official site for weeks or months before release. Tweedy has nothing against free downloading. The band allows people to tape the shows and exchange copies, as long as they dont make money with it. So, I guess the move has little to do with royalties, much more with being faithful to their values. The only troll here is you. Youve been continually trolling here for weeks thumbing your nose at anything Blu-ray related.
