Beyonce at times is rather exploitative.

You have been on 2 tours for the past years and 6 months.

you release a CV/DVD with 14 music videos for all songs on said CD.

You go on a tour with your husband that you know people are going to want on dvd.

Why do you release a platinum package with the SAME THINGS (CD/DVD) and the 10 live performances that were broadcast on HBO and were posted on youtube?

Why not include your Mrs Carter World tour as ONE OF THE DVDs in the package?

33 POUNDS may be little to British and American people (although I highly doubt that also), but in South Africa thats R600!

The level of swindling your fans is wrong because its base on a premise of abusing the loyaly of the people who support you (Predominatly gay black men who don't have children to look after other than paying basic bills).

I'm ok with paying for your work because you deserve it, but it becomes a whole other picture when it's blatant exploitation, a racket.

None the less, to be exploited is a choice. I'll PIRATE the two new songs, I don't give a fuck about remixes, I'll keep the original album CD/DVD, I don't give a fuck about a booklet (I've never understood the logic behing booklets but anyway), and I will wait only for the Mrs Carter Show DVD and possibly the On the Run tour DVD.

When artists wonder why we pirate their material, they need to look in the mirror and the pricing. I'm don't want to pay for a remix, booklet or stupid calander (I have that on my phone), I WANT TO PAY FOR MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!
