I don't know... this may be a novel concept, but... I'm guessing that if you don't break the law... you wont get taken to court. I mean, I'm not trying to judge anyone here myself. I'm not going to say I've never downloaded anything that might be questionable. What I am saying, is that when you take a risk, there are consequences. Is what they are doing, exploitation? Sure. How and why can they get away with it? Because you broke the law. It's really simple. If you don't agree with the law, get it changed. See if you can get the law to justify certain forms of theft. Or convince movie studios to charge less and put out better movies. Of course, the only way to do that is to hit them in the pocketbook which means not BUYING their movies, and downloading them for free instead. Catch 22 really. Just stop making it someone else's problem when you are being extorted because you've broken the law. It's called "Personal Responsibility".

That being said, I think I am going to go download the hurt locker now. Along with a couple other movies. And some porn. I hope I don't get sued!
