@AZRogue Whoa man... Don't let me start ranting. The whole idea of a entertainment business model is extremely flawed in today's age because the need for a gatekeeper and creation of artificial scarcity is slowly diminishing with the ever expanding free flow of information of the Internet. Your assumption is a chef is likely not come up with new recipes because people keep sharing his recipes with friends.
Sorry man... But I don't think by purchasing that DVD you actually support Bill... Almost 90% of the money actually go to recording industry, labeling industry, shipping, manufacturing, the country's government tax, price increase due to supply surplus, etc.
@FD87 you're correct, but those people deserve to make money off their work, too. Bill doesn't create a movie in a vacuum; he requires a large amount of support. When you support your favorite actor/actress by buying their work, you're also supporting the corporate mechanism that helps them polish and deliver their work. If the corporate machine makes money, they're more likely to produce and distribute that artist's work in the future. Which is a good thing.

For more views, I'd advise you to change the title to something like.. : The case for piracy.
