Nor will they honor any "nice" messages either.
I used to put a "nice" notice at the beginning of our videos that
said...thanks for ordering this video. For additional copies, contact
us at etc....
I just changed it to read...
If you purchased this video, thank you.
A friendly reminder that making copies of this video is both illegal
and stealing.
Do I think that will stop the assholes who copy our stuff and give
copies to all their friends, or worse yet, make copies and sell them
for half the price I charge for them........no.
As someone on this group recently wrote, it is a reflection of the
current morals in our Country.
