There was a street vendor here and there in large cities. When it first started in digital form, few people knew about it. Once it became "mainstream" though, all hell broke loose. You can find pirateers at every flea market in the country here in the states. It is 1 million times worse in the rest of the world.

Doesn't really seem to matter, though, as the MPAA reports record growth and box office receipts.

I really like these debates, but doesn't it worry you that someone is reading these posts and is building a case for such a moral precedent?  Something to show the up and coming generation that stealing isn't cool.

A subpoena issued to Saint's Web provider to show IPs and personal information, could yield something nasty and give some politician wanting to make a name for him/herself some ammunition.

I would hate to be someones cannon fodder.  :o

In the case of movies and music the originals could STILL be sold profitably for the price of the bootlegs, and people would likely spend more money than they do now. As for old video games, that is meaningless, as only a teeny number of them hold any value outside of the franchise name itself.

Couldn't agree with you more here. Bluray disks are a perfect example of this. They actually believe, I'm going to pay through the nose and buy these overpriced items. I'll rent them until the end of time instead just to prove a point. It's too bad everyone didn't feel this way. I see people grabbing new DVD releases for $26.99 all the time. These are the people that fuel the greed.

I was at a local comic convention also, a few years back, and my film crew and I interviewed a "ROM" merchant.  He said, and I quote, "Once they take the consoles off the market, the ROMs are fair game."

I should note, that the first thing I asked him (on camera) was, "What're we offering today?"  To which he replied, "That depends...who are you with?"
