Hi Kit...I didn't want to quote everything. I just wanted to let you know
that I agree w/ everything you've said in this message and the previous
two.
You know, it's not only the copyright infringement that bugs me. It's the
fact that he goes into a store and buys 10 copies of the same movie.
What if those are the last ten? What if some parent had intended to buy
such and such movie for their son or daughter, but couldn't cause some
guy just shoved the last 10 copies into his shopping cart? I saw a few
copies of the "Aladdin" video at Wal-mart after Christmas. I was like
"Cool! I get paid in a couple of days--I can finally buy it." Guess what.
They were all gone when I came back a couple of days later. Now, hmmmm...
could it be that someone like John came in a scooped up the last few
copies?
It's like what happened to my friend one time while she was shopping for
a birthday present for her son. She found a couple of Power Ranger toys
for him, and some woman actually had the audacity to try and snatch them
from her (when the other woman ALREADY had the same toys in her hand!)--
a little boy's birthday present. Luckily, my friend isn't the type of
person to take crap from anyone.
It's greed, pure and simple. I'm behind you all the way, Kit.

By the way, can you do Netmail? The board I'm on right now doesn't get
Netmail, but I'm currently waiting for the other board that I get some
other echos on to add this. They have netmail. Better yet--do you have
an Email address? If so, please contact me at Keiko@pixelation.com.
