I do believe I can help change this mentality. If I can convince someone that what they are doing HURTS me and my friends, then that person might just spread the word.

I challenge the members of this site to spread the word against downloading films. It is easy. It seems painless. But it isn't. It hurts me directly and endangers my ability to place food on the table for my children.

Can you understand this?

Stealing movies is morally wrong and socially wrong. The only benefit is your immediate gratification, which boils down to harming others so you can be either lazy or cheap - either way, it's a selfish, shameful thing to do.
