so why haven't you turned in those "theives" yet
it amazing your actually trying to justify taking away the rights to use the technology legitimately from me
because friends your letting get away with piracy are unethical

if only a small % download, then who cares but it seems be an ever growing trend. i have less of an issue with television shows, as dvr'ing a tv show is basically the same as downloading one but when it comes to movies and music, there is no doubt revenue is being lost.

seriously i just produced stats that prove revenue is not going down for movies
and you still claim there is
no doubt revenue is being lost.
the numbers i have presented are a doubt
the bundling principle for vcr tapes would apply to cd/dvd too
i remember borrowed cd having tons of songs i wasn't interested in too
the same with back up dvd, especially when avi ripping came around
a single dvd had 4-5 movies on it.

that problem is now gone.
