    Does anyone remember the Boot-Leg DVD Man? The neighborhood stalwart who peddled the latest movies from the back of his car?

      He’s an unsung hero. For the cost of the bandwidth, the actual discs, cases, gasoline for driving, and time spent at distribution, he prolly wasn’t even breaking even.

        There was one guy who you knew it was a hobby. Milktoast looking fellow who’d sell them on the ferry. Probably the best way he could find to interact with people.

      LOL, we had that guy, but our local liquor store would sell them under the counter, too!
