putting the dvd in the burner and clicking on "copy"?
No, no -- they worked. They only got what was torrented, after all. Really hard to grab that stuff off the tricksy interwebs and burn it. Real hard.

entrapment? but then, I would argue that by creating the site, the vendor made the first move.
Oh, you're right! No Aidan!
Piker.
Yeah, I don't think purchasing an illegal item constitutes entrapment.

Yay! I will quote myself from my "Moon" script:
PROF: This is just the sort of entrepreneurial enterprise we should be encouraging. Any Loonie willing to pay more to buck this oppressive policy is already halfway with us! Come. You’ll buy me a drink. We’ll scheme.
I hope this person finds "Aidan" on bit torrent and whatever else my end up there. So there.
