On piracy... · Mar 8, 10:39 PM

Today one of my daughters had a friend over. They wanted to watch a film so I agreed to rent one online for them. They picked a film. It was not available on Road Runner VOD so I rented it from the Apple Store. About 30 minutes later they told me it was not playing yet. I checked it out and the download progress was 0%. I was a bit surprised as normally standard def movies play in 5-10min and high-def in the 15-25 min.

We were running short on time for her friend to be able to stay and see the film so usenet and 9 minutes later I had the film found/downloaded/decoded and playing for the kids. Afterward I deleted it. Although some might argue differently, I feel that I did nothing wrong.

If you want people to go on the straight and narrow you need to make the legal path as easy/easier than the illegal one.
