do you feel that the person selling the bootleg is a rightful recipient of the money you shell out? if no,
then don't buy it. as for downloading it on the internet... is it free? will you truthfully buy it when it is
legitimately released? yes? go ahead. nobody is profitting off the file and you are willing/able to buy
it for real when it becomes available.
it's the people who DON'T buy the video when it's officially released that are the problem. the ones
who say "dude, they have no right to charge that much money for a fricken DVD.. so i'm not gonna buy
it. they still have all their sheep fans who are stupid enough to buy it at that price, but i'm much smarter
than them and i know that that is a completely unacceptable price so i'm not gonna pay for it.... i'm
gonna get it for free." shoplifting without any real risk of being caught.
i defy anyone who is willing to download a movie/song just to avoid paying for it to try the same thing
at Tower Records. It's the same thing, but your computer doesn't have a security cam.... yet. keep it
up and it will.
