Not worth stealing

My favorite quote of the week (so far) comes from Cory Doctorow on Boing Boing:

The release of the Garbage Pail Kids movie on DVD marks an exciting new anti-piracy technique from our friends in Hollywood: releasing DVDs of unwatchably bad movies that you'd be hard pressed to find a reason to download.

It's funny, but also makes an interesting point about digital content piracy: some stuff is so bad that no one will want to go to the trouble of stealing it. On the other hand, the copyright owners are probably quite correct in thinking that they can find people to pay money for it.

Human nature is a curious thing.
