Why I pirate DVDs...
I have a CD that I can't play anywhere but in my car.... I was in my opinion forced to download the songs so I could listen to the music.

What about DVDs that force you to watch them with subtitles? I live in Spain and there are a *lot* of DVDs which force you to watch with subtitles if you switch the language to English. What kind of stupid control-freak comes up with stuff like this? I fail to see any logic behind it.

My solution is simple: I boycott the distributors which do this and get pirate copies instead. They only have themselves to blame.
