Movie Copying (Score 3, Interesting)

Much to the embarassment of Hollywood, I watched "The Incredibles" on a pirate DVD over Xmas. My kids loved it (so thanks to those involved for that pleasure). The source of this?

Online piracy?

Peer to Peer file sharing networks?
None of these.
It was a first generation copy from a DVD master at an official movie distributor. Made by a permanent employee, with no payments, etc. I am told he/she was just "doing a favour". Lord knows how many copies were made! We just borrowed the disk, and gave it back.

If Hollywood cannot get their own houses in order, then I really do not see how they can reasonably point the finger at anyone else. Personally, I would not stop at Hollywood, but would include the RIAA also.

For what it is worth, I will now buy a copy (when it is officialy released), since the kids (and I) thought it was so good :-)
