Shadow: +1 for the VeggieTales reference.

I still find it funny that VCDs of the movie were getting posted all over the place...you'd think their target audience would be against piracy =)

It's the "because it's there" argument. Some people will rip, download, and post just about anything for the sheer thrill of having stuff.

Case in point: A couple of my friends made a bet about how much software they could steal in a week. Whoever downloaded the most warez in theoretical retail price would win. In less than a week they both had over $10,000 (10K USD) worth of pirated programs. They never USED any of it, it was just to see who could get the most.

Some people make a life out of that, not a game. You can say "I have 1000 pirated movies" and get respect from other such people, without needing to mention that you have 1000 pirated movies that suck, and that nobody really wants anyways.

Hoorah for Relient K

Also, what prevents college students from watching VeggieTales? Aren't there people who get stoned and watch Tellitubies? (sp)
