Yeah, and the Easter Bunny too!

To which list I add >>>>The Tooth Fairy<<<<, which this pirate might need if some of our more Jayne-like (or River-like) members get hold of him.
Want more? Pony up & don't be a crook.
When folk stop being compensated for producing intellectual property there'll be far less of it because they'll be out doing something else for a living.

Not Santa. Not the Easter Bunny.
Never!
Scotty must buy DVD's.
I cap'n, as soon as the antimatter is replenished in the warp drive.
Scotty no time for that. Must buy DVD's now. Our orbit is decaying.
Can'a do it cap'n. The antimatter is drained.
Scotty need warp drive now or Santa Clause and Easter Bunny die.
I cap'n. I'll get out and push.
That's it Scotty!
Before I can help your stupid friend, must find my own brains first.
Think they leaked out over Londinium.
Give him time. Some people have to learn the hard way. $10.00 doesn't sound like much? Maybe he can donate to the fireflyfans.com. Any amount is welcome.

Tell your freind this, and if he doesn't get it he really is a gorramn idiot, it is a very simple concept: MONEY TALKS

I have friends who do this and they're earning a heap £40000-£50000 a year... I don't think it comes down to insufficient funds all the time, some people feel a sense of rebellion about things like this, as though in some way they are against the system. Weird thing is they'd rather buy a pack of smokes than purchase a DVD, maintaining they don't wish to fund a big/massive corporation like a film studio..?
However what can you do? In truth back in the days of tapes people would record stuff of the radio and pass it around schools or the work place. When the video recorder became a household item, how many films did you see that people had recorded off the tv? It happens. Saddly because we all love Firefly it feels somehow wrong.
What would be a redeeming quality is if now after he watches it and sees how wonderful it is he feels compelled to purchase the real deal.

Sorry I'm in a funk type of mood. Anyways, I think you should pull out Vera and pump ur friend with all the lead you can find. Then we'll post a sign on him that reads:
"To all the illegally burn, rip, and copy Firefly and or Serenity will be shot without prejudice."
"Six men came to kill me one time. The best of 'em carried this. Its a Killhan Full-Bore Auto Lock, customized trigger, double-cartridge thorough-gage. It is my very favorite gun."

Your friend stole money out of Joss and the gangs' pockets. He is helping to validate the BDM's non-sequel (God Forbid) because a big summer blockbuster can stand losing "XXX"-million$ in revenue, but the 'Verse needs every cent of attention or funding it can get.
I understand that our culture's declining morals helps people rationalize this sort of thing, but a question I no longer have to ask myself is "if a person will lie or cheat over something small, how the H-E-double hockeysticks can I really trust them with anything important?
Tell you what, I'll go buy another copy of the movie and give it to someone as penance for your slack-jawed associate(like I wouldn't have anyway). Maybe someday he'll have someone steal his homework at school or project idea at a job, and he'll realize how dumb a thing it is to do to someone.
Plan A: Use peer pressure and rapport to convince them they're wrong.
Plan B: Turn them in to someone with a rank/badge or authority. They deserve it.
Plan C: Like someone else said- light them up with a smack to the braincase.

You can easily find a DVD burner for $30, they're really not expensive.

true...prices have come down... but it also depends on which DVD burner you get. Blackbeanie mentioned that her friend "bragged" about having DVD burner, so I would imagine it wasnt the cheapest of the lot.
Anyways my point is and was that if they can afford a DVD burner(which isnt a 5 buck thing, yes it can be 30 bucks), they can also afford to put down 10 bucks to buy the damn DVD. And as everyone agreed, will help encourage more of the verse.

PS
Oh and nbesides kiling Santa, easter bunny and tooth fairy, he will be responsible for the death of 100's of cute little puppies and kittens.
