Its kinda like the songs that I sometimes download. 99% of them are copies of old songs that I have purchased, sometimes purchased several times and ended up losing the tape, CD or the album warps.
How many times should I pay royalities to these guys? Once or twice is enough IMHO and after that I have no problem downloading "Dark side of the moon" to keep in a digital format forever.
On the same venue, I formally admit that I make copies of DVD's that I own. Yep, have done it for years, and do it as well with music CD's. I keep the originals in a nice safe place upstairs (in a closet) so that if someone scratches it during a party or a punk breaks into the car and steals the CD's I simply make another copy.
The "artists" have made enough of my money already. I have a copy of "the fastest Indian" and several CSI shows with me now (am overseas working) and will watch them in the hotel. If the maid steals one then I am out nothing. If she steals the original then I am torqued...
Arrest me...
