You haven't heard my show yet, so you have absolutely no idea how I'm going to frame it for the audience. Truth is never unethical. What I think is unethical, is LP performing a "service" and not telling their audience that they're charging
more than 35% for the service. If they simply stated that they were marking the prices up that much and why their service was better and easier than DeliverEARS, no sweat. They don't. Instead, they rely on the ignorance of their readers to turn a profit.
I don't doubt that they're doing a service by showing fans pictures of what's available. However, I learned of the "Art of Disneyland" book from a message board. I knew about the EPCOT DVD from a CM in Florida. I saved $40 (not just "a couple of dollars") over LPs price by making a call to Florida. I'm not an insider, I'm informed.
This relates to Jim Hill because it's about someone taking money by "adding value" to something that is already available by the parent company.
IMHO, Jim screwed up by starting the tour where people who expected the official tour might get confused and join his.
Kevy, would it be more ethical if I started a thread and posted pictures of park product that I got from places other than LP and MS and told people to call Disney and avoid rip-off artists?
