Buying pirate DVDs is a crime
I agree that buying pirate DVDs is a crime but should we not look at DVD prices as a solution?

Last night I watched what I think is a fantastic campaign against buying pirate DVDs and although I totally agree with the message I think we need to relook at what is being charged for originals.

I buy quite a few DVDs and many of them from amazon.com where I can buy it and have it imported to this country for at times a third of the price I can get it at Look & Listen. Then when CD and DVD prices went up due to the rand dollar a few years ago I didn't complain but now with the current rand dollar climate no prices have gone down this seems criminal to me, too.

Just my ranting and raving but hey :-)
