My Money For Entertainmet

After reading Jenkins chapter two I had a few questions running through my mind. Why is it that we, the consumer, help these companies make money, and we don't get a penny from them? Why when we pay money to be entertained we don't get our money's worth. Why don't we get our money back? Why is it that if I pay for a song on Itunes I can't do whatever I want with that particular song? These were just a few questions that crossed my mind. I know that everyone has had a time where there is nothing to watch on television. We might not think our money is being wasted but it is. We are the consumer that wants to be entertained, so  it would only be appropriate if you would do exactly that. I watch a lot of television, movies, and play video games. It would be remarkable if the manufacturer or the entertainment industry sent me a check at the end of the year for all the money I put in to being entertained. A funny but informational thing to do would be to make me a consumer of the year award. Informing the world of how much money I put in to being entertained. I say the award should be free entertainment for a year and or a money award. You can never go wrong with getting free money as a reward.
