What do I think of it all. I think any movie worth seeing is worth seeing on the big screen so my entire family go at least once a month, more often than not a lot more often. Have I been naughty and downloaded movies yes, but I did it for a friend who was dying and unable to leave the house for the last 18 months of his life. He was a huge movie fan. My attitude was I pay so much out for movies letting him enjoy his passion in his last days was something I would break the rules for. I did not think they lost anything, my family still paid out and went to the cinema.
as far as tv shows go I think vcrs where around for ever if I prefer to watch xvids of tv shows I miss rather than using my personal recorder it is splitting hairs. Yes I know you shouldnt but I seriouslu see it no worse than using your personal recorder.
music if I buy the CD I am so not paying for the mp3 tho it tends to be mp3s these days over cds purchased.
I was given some ebooks from friends of which I owned the paper versions, nope I do not feel bad like that. I give friends my paper books all the time. I do not see it any different. I might if they where people who reread stuff but like me they tend to read and give away.
artists need to be paid but there is always a grey line on just how hard to cut it off.
