Get out of my hobby, you goddamn kids

Once in a great while I really enjoy being old. It allows me to rant at iggerant kids who have no sense of history, no apparent comprehension of economics, and think that "I got away with this" is morally equivalent to "I am doing the right thing." Hand me my cane, imma thrash some people and hopefully beat some sense into their heads. Since this is Sunday, let us start with the Reading, courtesy of jariten and marainsanity.
( And now for the sermon )

EDIT AND UPDATE: I am reliably informed by jariten that the "snot-nosed punk" has over ten years of experience in the industry, and I therefore apologize to both of them for assuming he was just another annoying teenage otaku.
Secondly, this has nothing to do with people sampling series to see if they like them, and everything to do with people downloading entire series AND NOT BUYING DVDs.
