Honestly, I always figured if I could get it at the library, it wasn't the skin off of anybody's back.

That isn't really a good comparison, though. When you borrow something from the library, you're only allowed to have it for a certain amount of time before you have to give it back, and the library pays money to be able to lend out each copy in their possession.

When I borrow a DVD from the library, I can watch it as much as I want for two weeks, and then I need to return it. If I download a rip of that DVD, I'm getting the perks of owning it - that is, being able to watch it endlessly from then on - without actually paying for it. The only way it would be even partially equivalent would be if you deleted the rip after two weeks.

NAYRT - I hardly ever rewatch things, so yeah, I do tend to delete my downloads after I watch them. *shrugs*

AYRT

Fair point. Maybe I wasn't clear enough though (or perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point? It's possible).

I usually ripped CDs (and tried to do movies, but I was less adept at putting the files together), so to me, I, once more, was not paying for the media question (the library was, as was whoever had the original content), which is I why I used that comparison. That is, someone else pays for media I am enjoying for longer than the 2 weeks (not counting books). Someone paid for the original CD or tickets to the movie they would then record with the camcorder (lol).
