Me: You might consider finding a young person who will take pity on you and 
help you out. In my household we have not forked over any money for music or 
video entertainment in yonks. The other day I took a liking to A.R. Rahman and 
torrented a few gigs of his music. Bliss!

We torrent movies and burn the to dvd's using Toast. (avi files, mp4's etc). in 
the US we must make sure they are NTSC not PAL. If they are PAL we can only 
watch them on the computer and, as Americans, we prefer to loll on the sofa and 
watch them on the enormous television that occupies a huge portion of our 
living room.

We scoff when we hear the entertainment industry has developed new software to 
thwart us. We know that it is just a matter of time before there is a 
google-able, download-able thingy that trashes their latest attempt to keep 
things privatized. I would really hate to be an entertainment executive in 
charge of cyber-security: a lieutenant in an unending technological game of 
leap frog. 

Memorize the words to this song and sing them to the scolds who rant about 
copyright.
