Having read all ten pages, there's something missing here - the 800 pound gorilla in the room all of you are ignoring.

It's your fault. Every single one of you. And everyone who isn't on this forum but goes to the World.

Regardless whether you believe it or not, we're talking supply and demand here. Please note this has nothing to do with capitalism so you Occupiers can go pound silicate. We're talking Econ 101 here. Yeah, maybe not a simple graph but it's there. I'm not talking theory here but reproducable results. And yes, operating costs and such are factored in there somewhere.

Disney charges what it charges for almost everything they have the data showing THAT's what people are willing to pay for any given item/service/feature relative to TDO's P&L statements.

No, you probably won't see many prices going down but they will factor in discounts. With the recent analyst downgrade for the next quarter's profits due to soft Moderate and Deluxe demand, I'll bet we'll see a campaign soon offering pin codes and other offers to help increase consumption.

So maybe we all should start spending less money there and maybe TDO will get a clue?

Amen !! I think that was perfectly written.

Theft for a picture that's already on my hard drive? It's already there, I did nothing but find it.

I would imagine that the terms of service for entering the website includes some sort of language about such things. Of course, I don't know because I have never been one to consider trying to get something without paying for it when its blatantly obvious that the intent is to sell you the images.

Once again man that was never my intent, as I stated a few posts ago. I was trying to access a picture my wife had erased in our cache and found a photopass picture already there that we had decided to pass on since we couldn't afford to spend $100.00 on pictures (had already spent $85). It's not like I used an outside piece of software to somehow hack into the Photopass website to obtain pictures here :lol: Am I going to utilize that to never purchase a Photopass picture again? Absolutely not, but am I going to be feel guilty about randomly coming across a picture from our photopass and saving it? Heck no. I'm actually quite surprised that Disney has made such an oversight and never applied watermarks to their photopass preview pics, it would make a lot of sense. I apologize if you are somehow taking this the wrong way but I assure you this was never a "screw Disney out of money" plan. This isn't something I suddenly figured out how to do, this was 2 weeks after we had spent $85.00 on our photopass pics and a week after the photopass pictures had expired, so if it was an intent to not pay we never would have ordered them and shelled out that money in the first place.
