consumer stupidity
And not mine for once! But I did make a stupid mistake. Lost finally started airing new shows last night, and I'd programmed the vcr to tape it. Like an idiot, I programmed the time right, but the channel wrong.
I knew that iTunes carried the show, so I went there. They wanted $1.99 to download the show. Right. I was pretty sure that it was being offered free somewhere else.
Sure enough, right on abc.com. There was the show for free. Granted, it didn't get posted there until 8 or so this morning, but I was able to watch it.
My question is this. Why would one place offer it to you for a price when they (and you) know that it can be gotten for free somewhere else?
