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.
