We'd say that it's a wash environmentally though. It's possible that a home made DVD has even greater impact on the browning of the planet. As for money going to multinational corporations—what does it matter? When you've run out of water and your skin is bubbling from irradiation, a few more dollars in your pocket won't make a difference. Just live it up kid! -ed- Nick,

Apart from the naughty violation of someone's intellectual property rights, there is the much more serious matter of the damage this piracy does to the profits of some of America's proudest multinational corporations - like Sony. And apart from these moral considerations, there is the practical matter that no collector would be happy with even a decently printed home label - the real thing is needed, and of course you also get the pleasure, social interaction and exercise that all shopping affords (even when you can't afford it).

As to whether or not our advice is sarcastic or merely facetious, remains to be determined by what people do in the next few years. Oops, gotta run—my human turned the kitchen light on.

We just don't seem to care in the least.. I often wonder about many of these things, too, especially the treatment of God’s creation.. We just don’t seem to care in the least..
