I went to a desi video store today and the sign said “DVDs on sale 3 for $8.99 each”. Hypothetically speaking, I may know of an Indian grocery store couple of blocks down that sells brand new DVDs with great print quality for $2 each. Should I buy the legal DVDs for $9 (on sale) or $15-$20 (not on sale), or just take the easy way out and buy the $2 version of the same movie? Would I abetting piracy or is this free market at work for a grossly overvalued product? What is my responsibility towards the legal vendors and/or movie/music industry, if any at all?

What would you do? Have you, hypothetically speaking, bought pirated CDs/DVDs knowingly? Will you, hypothetically speaking, continue to do so? If so, for what reasons?

Don’t forget to vote in the poll which expires Monday night.
