I could be wrong but your suggested method does not meet the above definition because somebody else ALREADY bought the card from AG. AG got their money. You are just annoying the nice person that send you the card.
if Disney can give me a better copy, with better video and audio (and hopefully translation, as Kiki's, if I remember correctly, seemed off sometimes), I'd be more than happy to spend the money.
I have also purchased that bootleg set. When Disney gets off their dead ass and releases a good high quality releases. I'll be glad to buy it.
I have the VHS version of Kiki (Phil Hartman's last movie BTW) and it has a trailer for Castle in the Sky which is STILL not out years later.
Also I'm still rather irritated at Disney releasing Sprited away to a mere 151 screens, then had the balls to claim that they weren't try to kill it to prevent competition with that pile of crap Treasure Planet.
The MPAA is a trade organization which consists of various movie producing companies as members
That is correct. Those movie producing companies have a interest in keeping the described scenario from happing.
But they don't themselves create movies, nor do they particularly care how movies are created, nor have they ever worked to stop independent film producers from creating movies.
Yes they do create movies. duh! Yes they work to impede independant film makers. How many movies that show at film festivals make it to the mainstream? Not very many. Gee, I wonder how that happens?
The DMCA (and other laws) are so broadly worded that they can use it for dang near anything. Note the recent crack down on the release of retail sales advertisements, which were DMCA inspired.

No no. Don't hold back. Tell us what you REALLY think.
Simple.
Calendaring.
Companies are far too lazy to buy, install, and train users on a Calendaring system that doesn't suck.

Gee, Do you think so?

You should be more worried about Disney when several of Disney's cartoon characters... DON'T EVEN WEAR PANTS!
Donald Duck and Pooh Bear spring to mind.
Pooh? A charecter for kids named after fecces?? What's up with that?
PS. Refresh my memory. Where was the "Little Girl" in Princess Mononoke?
Wow. $30 bucks per CD. Must be nice to be rich.
Sorry but there no CD that I can think of that is worth $30 bucks.
A lot of people have already mentioned Miller's Dark Knight Returns.
No one has mentioned the JLA Tower of Babel series.
In which Ras'Al Ghoul steals Batman's secret plans for taking down all the other members of JLA.
It's quite a interesting read. In my opinion is not quite equal to DKR or Moore's The Killing Joke but definitly worth reading.
