The "collectors-drive" can be quite strong, as told I suffered from it some years ago as well.. I know people who are just collecting, where I also question the real need to ever watch/listen/read the data aquired. For example the series collection is quite popular like getting every episode of Stargate, StarTrek or so... Which are BTW very expensive if you want to buy them regulary, so the urge is quite strong here to go on pirating.. I think the idea behind this collecting could be german saying "Das man rechtzeitig drauf schaut, dass man's hat wenn man's braucht" - I don't know how to properly translate that into enlish.
