If you discount the cost of your time to zero. Otherwise it's not even worth a minimum wage job.

  It only needs to be done by one person, not every viewer. And yes, the value of much of my time is effectively zero. The same is true for most people.

    That's why we have laws to apply negative externalities like very large jail sentences if you're caught distributing a file that you created by taping a movie off-screen.

      Local solutions to global problems that don't even work locally. Those large jail sentences also place a lot of externalities on the rest of society.

        I agree. My comment was not meant as an endorsement, simply a statement I think that's how they've 'solved' that issue.
