This does bring up an interesting debate. Is it right to perchase bootleg dvds or download episodes? I mean technically both is an illegal practice. But it is also common place, at least in terms of downloads.
Now you could say your hurting the chances of PR getting on DVD by supporting the bootleggers. But PR won't have DVD box sets for a very long time. So I suppose thats the counter argument
There is also the question of whether these bootleggers are givening you your money's worth.
I would say that downloads are less of an issue, since bootlegging is crossing over the line more. Since your paying someone money for someone else's product. I could see where it would be tempting though. Especially with the lack of movement when it comes to putting out official box sets. It can be frustrating.
I'm not really taking a side here, just presenting both sides to the argument.
