But in any event...it's a moot point.  I've never
received a dime off  the DVDs and likely never
will.

In that case, why does it matter if we download,
instead of buy the dvds?  You don't lose
anything.

(I'm asking because of genuine curiosity.  NOT
because I endorse downloading/stealing.)

The implication being that if one does not have a personal, vested
interest, then it's okay to steal from somebody else.

That I got the deal that I got is a side issue from that of piracy.
Lots of other folks have lots of other deals and *do* get to benefit
from their work.  That should not be denied to them.  So I'm foursquare
against downloading.  Just because we all *want* everything free does
not mean that we should *get* everything for free.
