I can't figure out if you are naive or obtuse.

You argue that someone who "takes too long" to release a higher quality version of their movie forfeits their rights to the product--and that you should be able to pirate an HD copy because they didn't provide it on your timeline?

And you are seriously trying to parse the difference between copyright infringement and illegality?

I'll bet money that you would be the first one going to court if you found someone had pirated a copy of Camtasia. Hypocrite.

You are coming off like a whiny baby with this "argument." "I want my high-def version of "Star Wars," and I want it right now!"
