See I have some thoughts on the whole copyright thingy. I personally have never downloaded any films off the internet, etc.
But I was given one as a gift from a friend once, and the only reason I had it was because, I had just seen the film like twice in theatres, and couldnt wait to see it again like four to five months later on DVD.
But before you get all mad at me, I did buy in fact the video on DVD when it came out. It was Ep2, and since I have so much SW stuff in my house, I just viewed it in advance because I couldnt wait for it to finally come out.
Anyways the only movie I would ask for again from a friend is LOTR ROTK, being that I will probably see it multiple times in theatres. I will buy the theatrical release, and eventually the Extended Edition on DVD, like the two previous films.
Besides those two cases, I disagree with the whole fact that people mass produce these "bootlegs" and try and make a profit off of it. Mine was atleast free for the one time I was given it. Plus some of these people then never go to see the movie in theatre or buy it when it comes out I think that is the true form of cheating the director, etc.
