Gfx card realised. You pay premium to buy on release day. 8weeks latter an official over clocked version comes out. Oh your so hard done by.

it's just as flawed and daft as your 3D printer argument.
How?
No, you're assuming this, you and I don't know if sales would increase a little bit, a massive amount, or not at all. Just because it's made illegal, doesn't mean people will suddenly stop, notice how there are still drug addicts around? The attitude to a lot of drugs is extremely casual, I can't see people suddenly becoming serious over copyright infringement just because it's been classed as criminal.
That content is already out there. They tried to say the same thing about DRM free music.
"If we offer DRM free music, it will be uploaded to the internet and everyone will just download it instead."
I could be wrong, but when Apple and other serves started to offer DRM free music, I don't think piracy rates shot up. If anything I'd put money on more people using iTunes.
An official overclocked version where we're able to reach the same clocks with the release cards we have, yet another poor analogy from you.
because commercial ovens use chips made though lithography if a 3d printer contains the ability to make ic's that printer will cost more than your house.
If it has the ability for it to also produce sheet metal, and dozens of other components from dozens of materials then lets face it at that point the entire economy of the world will have changed.
Not at all, that original card you bought on release day can be overclocked to the same levels as the one released 8 weeks later. The only difference might be the newer card might have a different fan. But you can buy a fan and fit it yourself. I can't buy that additional content that was offered on the new Blu-Ray though, that's the point.
It's never really been about "lost sales" that's just an incredibly convenient excuse, it's all about control. They want, or rather feel the need to control the content that is produced by their companies, that's why they really didn't want to do DRM free media, but it's proven to be hurting them with people not wanting to buy DRM media, they've simply realised it's to their benefit to release the control on MP3s.

No, it maybe able to be over clocked. It doesn't mean it can all won't have problems, as well as warranty. It is a perfectly good analogy.
And the principle of the idea and analogy is wrong how?
Hopefully they'll realise soon enough blocking content based on demographics and not releasing DRM free Blu-Ray movies is a stupid idea and is hurting them just as much.

I already do pay for all my music/movies, all my games, all my non opensource software
If people haven't switched, isn't it obvious they haven't delivered what people want?
Its an extremely poor analogy.
but they have, they have delivered identical to what is available on the net, the only difference, is one version you have to pay for.
Overclocking doesn't void your warranty, reglardless of what the manufacturer claims, and who's saying your factory overclocked card won't have problems? I remember many cases of BFG and EVGA factory overclocked cards being unstable until downclocked to the standard version clocks.
Your analogy is broken.
You keep saying that, you haven't showed how.
How about a new tv screen panel. Same case same everything else. But a different panel is used. Should you be able to just upgrade the panel.
Because your principle seems to centre around companies being entitled to sell their products and make money just because.
As I said, I could make my own PC case from scratch, copying the design from pictures from say, Silverstone's website, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, regardless if it results in me not buying a case from Silverstone, but ending up with a case that looks identical.
I did in my last post if you go back and read it
If not I'll repeat it here.
The standard card can be overclocked to the same levels as the newer overclocked card. The original Blu-Ray can't be upgraded to included the same content as the repackaged Blu-Ray.
Hence the poor analogy.
If you want them to stop packing extra content at extra cost, stop paying the extra cost for the extra content.
I've already shown how it's a rubbish analogy. If it's a different panel that is superior to the previous one, it's a new model, even if it is in the same enclosure. You really don't seem to understand analogies.
