What about other methods in attempting to 'pull back' the means of legaly owning such merchandise?
like for instance, making every copy serialized. unique.
When Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars came out, I just didn't want a normal copy. I heard that there was a Kane Edition, that not only had a few bonuses, but also it was a serialized copy.
Mine's like '23-something thousand' out of 100,000
So what I'm saying here is, is that not only did I want it becuase it was something that I really really wanted, but I wanted something special about it, I wanted to say 'it is my copy'.
What about a demographic in let's say owning a special edition of Neon Genisis, Evangelion that is serialized?
Akira?
Gundam Wing?
Fist of the North Star?
Bleach?
Cowboy Bebop?
Naruto?
etc
etc
etc
shit, I got seasons 1-3 of the new digitaly redone 5.1 surround sound DragonBall Z.
I'd love to have serializations on those, I can say 'I bought that. I own it. It's unique. And I cant wait til the next volume is out.'
