I resisted for a very long time, precisely because as a (former) member of the artistic/creative community - actor/director - I'm concerned about artists' rights and financial support for the artistic community - and while piracy is more likely to immediately hurt big corporations, in the long run, it is the artists who suffer, because they have so much more to lose.

But damn, if no one wants to air something like Painkiller Jane in Canada, and who knows when or if DVDs will be released for something that's not at all well-known, then what the hell is one to do? And then you suddenly realise how fucked up the whole international distribution system is for television and film.
