iLife Scam

So, one of the big things I wanted to play with on my new Powerbook was all this iLife stuff. I was used to iTunes on windows, and iPhoto is pretty much a straight clone applied to photos rather than music. What I really wanted to get my hands on was iDVD, since I , ahem, acquired some digital rips of the original Star Wars Trilogy, "Han Shoots First" edition. Sadly, I can't seem to burn these as a movie DVD, only data.

In what seems an appalling scam, if you have Panther and want iDVD, you have to spend $50 to get iLife '04, which includes three iApps you already have, and the 'bonus' of iDVD and GarageBand.

That really chaps my ass, I don't want to shell out another $50, I just want to burn some movies on my fancy new Superdrive. What's going on here, Steve?
