Well let's look at it another way. If the creator of a Film, CD, Painting
etc INTENDS for you to experience it within certain parameters - such as in
Letterbox for example - it is all a part of the experience that the creator
is intending to convey.
The sad fact is that things like non-letterbox films on TV and 30 minute cd's
for $20 and fine art on Tote-bags, are done for other reasons -*see profit
mognering mass appeal seeking dirtbags, AKA Marketing Executives.
