Piracy smiracy...
This whole piracy thing is just a joke. By the rationale of the MPAA/RIAA, anyone who sees or hears movies/music without paying for it is potentially guilty. So this means that if I loan a DVD or CD to my friend, that he is automatically guilty of piracy. Secondly, they only provoke it more by trying to supress it with 'you wouldn't steal a [car, truck, boat, chicken, dvd, insert merchandise of choice here]' ads and previews of crap that no one wants to see. In fact, I would pirate a movie that's in a DVD preview just out of spite for them throwing it in my face unwarranted. I have enough spam in my life, emai, snail mail, radio, tv, movies, etc.... The worst cases are DVD's that you pay money for that spam you with adverts of other DVD's.
