Instead of just downloading Hollywood movies while complaining about how corrupt and backwards Hollywood is. I guess this has happened to some extent with some productivity software, but for our movies and TV and video games, we still prefer Hollywood to the Openoffice equivalent, we just don't want to pay for it.

100% agreed. I can't stand when someone says tries to make the argument that piracy of, say, Hollywood movies, is ok because "they charge too much" - it isn't like someone is forcing you to pay the money. And RedBox is only $1! I am no crusader on this (obviously), but bootleg copies really piss me off! We really want to see what Hollywood has put out, but don't want to pay for it.
