The fact remains that buying a pirated HD version of something just because you are impatient and don't want to wait for the studio to release it in the format you want is wrong. You can write really long, well-crafted responses about it, but its still wrong--the length of your posts doesn't change that.

Who said anything about buying a pirated version of content? If you buy pirated content, you are a pirate. No one should be making money off of something which they had no legitimate hand in creating. What I'm talking about is the philosophical right/wrong stance of downloading an HD version of something when a) you already own the highest-quality version of the content available, b) no such HD version is available for legitimate purchase, and c) you have full intention of purchasing the HD version once it is legitimately available.
Perhaps you're confused on the base of the argument?

You may also enjoy parsing the differences between copyright infringement and illegality, but your anger over being called out on it shows you know its wrong, too. (A little touchy over the Camtasia thing, too, eh? )

Anger?
I may be passionate about distinguishing the differences between civil and criminal law, but I'm not sure where you're perceiving "anger" from me from. Perhaps you're confused once again?

Can't wait for your reply.

Reply to what? You didn't even present any new ideas in your post. I've had to re-hash what I've said already, and then try to explain how I'm not angry.
I'd be glad to reply further though, if you present some compelling new angle to the discussion.
