> but I really wonder just who is going to these lengths to pirate things for other people? Content owners really seem to underestimate how far people are willing to go for kudos alone on setup cost if the reproduction cost is zero. Also for some people it's a point of philosophy / concern about future-proofing. Guy I knew back in the day was the biggest torrenter around... He was stuffing a hard drive full of '80s cartoons. His attitude on it was that the creators and owners did not care if those half-hour toy commercials would be around in 100 years, but he did.
