Surely selling second hand DVDs is bad for the industry since the industry isn;t getting money from the transaction?

It's the same as making a copy of a DVD and giving them that to keep.
If you download a movie you don't need to give it back after a while, you can jsut keep it forever more. And it's not as if the person you download it off of loses the movie, so it's not like loaning them.

> You might of payed for it, but your mate hasn't.

But he's not keeping it. If you give him it to keep, he's getting a DVD, which you paid for, for free, but you don't have it anymore, so the producers don't lsoe out on any money.

> I remember reading somewhere that lending DVD's is illegal

It is illegal, but that's a silly law, as it's no different from going to a friends houise and watching TV because you don't have your own TV licence.

I've just found out I'm eligible to a huge catalogue of Microsoft software, free for "academic" use. At the mo, I have 114GB to go...

Meh. If it's worth buying I'll buy it.

I sit and laugh at all you sad people who are sad because you can no longer theive stuff.

WTF?

'WTH?!?!'

the sooner all torrent sites are shut down, the sooner it's replacement will arrive.

Meh, I buy movies, download Anime and live happily off my guinea pig farm.

Er, they're already doing that :P

and besides, if the movie stars weren't paid so frickin' much, there'd be more money to circulate round the people that actually do work hard.
