> Has that really been the response that this Louis C.K. video has received though? The "I'm awesome because I didn't pirate this" attitude?

Yes. I belong to a number of private trackers and out of curiosity I checked to see if it had been torrented. One has an all-out flamewar between people who bought it and people who didn't. Over a thousand downloads.



I saw this yesterday in demonoid, and was kind of funny to see that.

And some people felt more awesome, because they have bought and download the torrent "to save the site bandwith".


The funniest thing you see from pirate release groups and other distributors of such material (or so friends tell me...) is when (and it happens often enough) one lot gets all indignant because someone else copied their release and removed the credit. And they really don't seem to see the irony in their complaints.
