YO HO……A PIRATES LIFE FOR ME

Back when I was a kid I had several hobbies. From collecting comic books, baseball cards, and even music. But I have mostly put all those a side (except comics I was thinking about getting back into). Well now I wanted a hobby that could benefit not only me but also my family, So almost every day I sit in the company of my home (yes I know what I said, my home keeps me company) and I perform illegal acts by making copies of movies. I know what I am doing is considered illegal but I don’t think it’s should be. The definition of a pirateder is someone who makes a copy of a movie and distributes it for money. I don’t do that. I don’t sit in a movie theater with a video camera and record what’s on the screen. I don’t make 100 copies of a movie and sell it in shopping center parking lot. All I do is rent my movie from the video store and if I like it I make a copy of it for my own library. The only time I distribute it out is when I loan it to my father-in-law to watch. Now I ask you does that sound like what I am doing should really be a crime? It’s not like am murdering anyone (even though there are some people I could think of doing that to). It’s not like I’m robbing a bank (even though there are some places that carry cash that I could take down). I could even go to jail for make a copy of a movie that bought out right (I own it). I ask you is that fair? I will be honest I think that it should be illegal but to a cretin point. Yes, sitting in a theatre with a video camera should be illegal. Selling those movies should be illegal. But what I do shouldn’t be illegal because I am not looking to make a profit. I’m just a cheap bastured that doesn’t want to pay for his movies.

Now if you think what I am doing is wrong and have your reasons for it let me know I would love to hear your points and views. Or if you agree with me I would love to here from you also.

Thanks for you time
