And just like you advice doc to get rid of all his electronic stuff, I advice you to use you obvious great sense of justice (which is a good thing by the way) to defend groups of people that really deserve it. Like homeless people, 3rd world country children and the environment.
Seriously do you really expect normal people to buy all those extra releases for the price the film business asks for it?
These guys just try to milk us as much as they can......and if nobody came with the brilliant idea to copy music and films for free, the stuff would be even more expensive.
And let's be real, everybody has his budget for spending on music and movies...if the stuff costs more he just buys less, .....but he still spends the same amount.

All of the "free" stuff available is working. The industry is beginning to realise that it can not fairly compete with free. It's beginning to dawn on them that they need to charge a reasonable bit of money or create a business model that people think is fair. See Netflix. There are some good changes in the system... And those that engineer those changes deserve our hard earned pennies as a means to encourage future growth in similar ventures.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
