i love my Apex DVD player... the Region FREE thing
is the best option.  hence my Family Guy & Futurama
Season 1 Sets... :)

i haven't dubbed form DVD to VHS with it yet, nor
do i plan to.  once you go digital, it's too hard
to go back.  most DVD that i would rent, i'll only
watch once (so why dub to VHS?).  and any that i'd
want to watch again, i'd buy on DVD (due to WAY
better quality and options, special features, etc).

whether you're selling them or not, *technically* you
are breaking the law (there is that *FBI* thing at
the beginning of *all* movies that describes far
better).  *i* don't care that you're doing it.  don't
get me wrong.  what you do with your electronic
media and their buttons is between you and them... :)

it's entertainment.  personally, i don't think that
$8 is unreasonable.  people are to set on "getting
stuff for free."  you gotta figure, there are royalty
rights, film cost, distribution fees, wages of the
theatre employees, security, huge overhead on some
of these large movie houses, etc that all wrap up
into an $8 ticket.

i don't think it's a bad deal.  sure, it's not as
low as it used to be.
