LOL. I can relate. So far I've bought 3 or 4 copies of the 1632 even though I can download it for free because I keep loaning it out, and you know what happens when you do that...

Jim Baen was a hell of shrewd businessman who realized that when you treat your customers like decent human beings they'll do the same to you. The music/vid industry could learn a few things from him.
