Yea, I used to live in Hollywood too and also worked in "the biz". Perhaps I didn't work in the biz long enough to forget the concept of right and wrong though, so I still cling to the outdated notion that downloading copyrighted material without properly paying or otherwise getting permission is a form of theft. Not that I care about Hollywood's profits that much, but I do have some self-respect left.
Funny. One of the producers of the Walking Dead is a good bud of mine and he told me if it wasn’t for torrent, WD would not be as popular as it is today.
