Happens everywhere... I was talking to a guy the other day who was having codec problems after a system re-install, so I was trying to help him so he could play a video file he was having trouble with. The conversation went like this:
**Me: **Where'd you get the video file? Maybe it'll play on my box.
**Him: ************ (Site name deleted, 'cause I don't wanna support 'em - CJ)
**Me: **(As I recognize the name of the site) Wait... what video is this?
**Him: **"The Dark Knight"
**Me: **What, a trailer?
**Him: **No, the whole movie. Took forever to download.
Me: ... Um, you do know that's illegal, right?
**Him: **It is?
**Me: **The movie came out, like ten months ago. It's still for sale in the stores. How could somebody give it to you for free, legally?
**Him: **I dunno, I figured if I could download it, it was okay.
sigh
He was disappointed that I wasn't able to help him with his codec problems, too.
