folks, if the movie industry wouldn't make going to the theater so expensive, we wouldn't need to bootleg
that doesn't make it right
EVERYTHING is going up in price...that doesn't make it right for people to steal..IMO

Is it stealing burning a CD, too?
Depends on what you are going to do with that copied CD

How overly simplistic!
If only it were that easy.

Depends on what you are going to do with that copied CD
The same as what you would do with the bootleg video... use it, not distribute it.

Well I agree that movies are too expensive. BUT I'd personally rather s uck it up and spend the money at the theater than get a crappy copy of a bootleg that takes away from the film..
Or just wait for it to come onto DVD ..
I only saw a bootleg once, I DID feel kinda weird about it and I totally did NOT enjoy it on a whole
Now as for burned CDs... I have FAR too many of those!

If so that is fine

You ever think that the reason why the movies have to be so much is because people are stealing movies (ie: bootleg)
Paying for a bootleg makes you worse then the people who are making the bootleg.

So purchasing is fine for CD burning, but you can't purchase a bootleg dvd?

Paying for a bootleg makes you worse then the people who are making the bootleg.
do you burn cd's?
do you have illegal cable?
do you download MP3's for free?
ever tape a movie off of PPV and give it to a friend?
ever make a copy of a movie you rented?

Re: Bootlegs
It's a risk- my students used to buy bootlegs off the street and often they were blank tapes! I wouldn't trust a bootlegger.

Re: Bootlegs
I believe if you burn a cd for personal use with music you purchase, it's ok.
Not wanting to pay for a movie is not justification for buying a bootleg movie...there are laws protecting such things and just because you paid for it does not mean it is legal to own it.
