Peer to Peer - Revenge of the Sith
Another reader asks:
I was wondering why downloading a copy of the Revenge of the Sith (or any
movie) is illegal when I have paid to go see it in the first place? I paid
to see it, I have it in my mind of what happens, why can't I just "increase
the resolution" of the mental picture by having an electronic copy?
So, what do you guys think?

re: Peer to Peer - Revenge of the Sith
Being that most of our readers are lawyers and law students...this
question makes me shake my head.
I shall answer your question with a question: If you pay once, can
you keep going back to the theater to see it again and again for
free? Why can't you???? That's not fair!!!
It reminds me of a TechnoLawyer question a few months ago wherein an
attorney asked other attorneys whether or not downloading .mp3s from
a Russian site for $0.01 per song was "legit."
