exactly ..
as soon as you produce a product for public consumption - in otherwords - the money we spill our blood and tears for in the daily grind is spent on it (this includes the insanely overpriced live shows) then we have the absolute right to voice our opinions.
it goes for ordering food or anything else either.
this is one of the things that makes me defend (on a small scale - not as a business) movie downloading.
if we pay 13 bucks a head, plus another 30$ for a babysitter - then the movie we go see is shit ... where is our ability to get our investment back ?
if it was a meal i could complain ... or most other products - i could return them.
once you see a shit movie - your time and $$$ are gone and there's nothing you can do about it.
Same as a bad live show - but you usually know what you're getting into for those.
