As funny as this is, he is being sarcastic and making a good point. There are some at this very board who feel this IS their right and even if they don't do it they sure feel it is their right to DL for free without the creators permission and enjoy the entertainment at zero cost. But they justify themselves with terms like timeshifting or their intolerance of movie theatres.

You know what, I don't like viewing my porn on the internet. Maybe I should rip some sites and burn then to DVD's and set up a brick and mortar store and sell them to like minded individuals. Hmmm....
