No you don't want to pay. You say you do, but if you walked by a street and two guys stood there, one guy offering you a DVD for free and not saying a word, and the other guy yelling at you to buy the very same DVD from him, you'd take the free one.

You don't want to pay for the movie, and if you really think that, you're lying to yourself.

I don't think that it's fair for you to make that assumption. I believe many people have the desire to support people who make great things in order to reward them for what they have accomplished and to help inspire them to continue to do so by showing them that their passion is of value to others.

That is not true. If that were true, I would have gone straight to bit torrent instead of straight to iTunes, and then google shopping.

What I don't want to do is go looking for it at the store or wait on shipping. I want to get it digitally.

Just to further illustrate my point... I just paid $8 to download another documentary on the same topic. It was on streamburst.tv and easy as pie.
