Don’t Buy Movies
06:46:21 pm on January 8, 2007
What’s the point in buying a movie anymore? First, many can be downloaded free online, although that’s considered unethical/illegal. Second choice: rent them.
If you rent movies, you won’t have all that plastic packaging to toss (if you throw it away) and you won’t be supporting a one-time use production of materials that here in America is so prevalent.
Other reasons you might consider renting instead of buying:
- You can copy them if you like, using your computer.
- You probably won’t watch the same movie more than a few times, and you get much more bang-for-your-buck from renting
- If you use Netflix, there are no late fees, and they’re delivered to your door and you re-use the envelope to send it back.
