I recently picked up a movie that hasn't been released in the US from a reputable dealer and did so perfectly legally.

I have software that I was supposed to have deleted ten years ago

I have albums from American Bands, that came from Australia, Luxembourg and Thailand.Again bought perfectly legally with 300 plus witness all around.

Never. Stealing is stealing. I don't buy goods off the back of a truck either. Supporting criminals is not helpful.

If you feel "Hey, not my problem," then when you're a victim of theft, be glad someone else is getting a great deal.

It is hard to prosecute...but that does not make it legal.

this is not the same as Pirateing.... this is you buying what I think is a really ugly bag for what I still think is a slightly overpriced version what a unbelieveably overproced Item.

Imitation is not Pirating, unless they are trying to SELL it to you as an actual Prada... then they are the ones commiting the crime not you buying it.

Downloading songs without paying is illegal in the US, yet it is legal in Canada, because we pay a special surtax on all blank media (i.e. blank CDs), regardless of what use you intend to put the media to.
That is why the music companies have sued Americans, but not Canadians...so yes I have "pirated" music, but its legal to do so here.

We got two promo Captain Morgan t shirts, two promo Captain Morgan beer huggies and Captain Morgan lip balm.
Plus Shore got a Captain Morgan visor and two wenches clinging to either side of him.
It was a good score...
