Whats your take on Piracy?

I also shouldn't have to pay $20-$30 dollars to own a movie I will probably only watch a few times and then never watch again except out of boredom.

Go rent it?

Yeah, you could rent them. But around here, it is usually $5 to rent a movie for a few days, usually three. If it is brought back even a minute after the due date and due time, you have to pay late fees which usually end up being twice the amount of what you rented the movie for. Also if the dvd is damage through not fault of your own you have to buy the movie for retail price.

I shouldn't have to pay $50-$80 dollars for a single season of a television show that has, at most, 17-20 episodes on it, each of which are under 45 minutes in length with crappy "dvd bonus extras". Then I have to pay another outrageous fee to watch the next season of it (if it has one).

I also shouldn't have to pay $20-$30 dollars to own a movie I will probably only watch a few times and then never watch again except out of boredom.

Also paying $50-$60 on a video game is pretty heavy price to pay. I wouldn't be so for piracy if things weren't overpriced out the hole in my butt.

Honestly, if you want to have those things you have to pay for them.

... and $60 is not much for a video game. They cost 100 bucks here, so I don't see what you americans are moaning about.

I have absolutely no problem with buying things. I just have a problem paying an overpriced fee to buy something that shouldn't be overpriced in the first place. It doesn't cost them $60-$80 dollars to produce a DVD set of a season of television.

As far as the $100 video game, what's your currency equal to in relation of US dollars?
