I'm not particularly interested in the legalities of what you are doing, Peter, more so the ethics. After all, religious "law" tends to include a number of things not covered by the criminal code. If this option hadn't been available, would you have waited for the day when this movie came on the A-Channel Prime Ticket, or some such free outlet? Given your haste, I think a more likely scenario is you would have gone to the theatre or rented it later. Thus, you have deprived the rightful owners of this film a small amount of money. Multiply that by everyone doing this, it becomes a large amount of money. That, to me, is unethical, although as stated before, not so much that I'm above doing it. Still, you are a Christian, and as such, you lot seem to think you follow a higher standard. I still contend a "good" Christian would not be doing what you are doing. Ask yourself, if you had created something that entitled you to payment everytime it was sold or viewed or whatever, how would you feel about others obtaining your work without you receiving your fair share? This falls into the "do unto others..." line of reasoning. Brian
