Which is worse?

(1) me copying a Netflix-rented DVD to my laptop hard
drive, watch in inflight once, and deleteing the DVD
image.

(2) me having a party with 20 friends... everybody
watching it on the projection screen in my living room.


In scenario (1), they make money by charging me the
monthly fee. In scenario (2), they potentiall loose the 19
other rental/sales of the DVDs after I let my friends watch
it together. Yet (1) is technically illegal, while (2) is
perfectly legal right now.



I think I'm begging to get the logic of the MPAA/RIAA
groups. If I work for them, I'd try to get the Congress to
pass a law banning scenario (2)....
