RE: (TV) CBGB movie/Immoral

[Murray Ramone <murrayramone@hotmail.com>]

for me music wise a download is akin to someone passing a tape on to you, or
hearing a song on the radio. its not the real thing, but if you like it you'll
buy the real thing

when its a film, its slightly harder to justify but .... would I get the
chance to see this specific film it at a cinema here and would I take that
chance ? I definitely wouldnt have bought it on dvd if I hadnt seen if first.

would I now ? maybe ? if the price was right
