![]() As we all know, and as the subject of this thread shows, methods of stopping theft that work in the physical world (e.g., locks and keys) don't work in the digital world.

Nobody disputes the immorality of it, so it's not going to get anyone to stop. ![]() There is a breaking point with subscriptions. Also, the rumors that Disney is launching yet another subscription service is also pretty annoying. But they have very few non-in-house titles that support that feature. I fully support Netflix's and Amazon's efforts to allow downloads for offline viewing. How's that for morals? And it shows what they think about their customers too.
