I remember the golden age of the DVD Man. That noble soul who had all the latest movies on DVD a day after they opened. Quality ranged from someone recording the movie in the theater with a camcorder to perfect copies taken directly from the source.
I had a friend who put himself through college this way.
I had a friend who got in trouble with the FBI this way.
Same! He got lucky and just lost his shit though, didn't get put in prison. He had a pretty big operation going, with distributors and everything. I typically downloaded the content for him, luckily for me he kept his trap shut.
