Rudy: Oh, you mean we can pay To download it?
Sheila: Yeah, we can download it, but we don’t have to pay for it.
Rudy: What do you mean? You’re not using a File-sharing site, are you?
Sheila: Of course, I am. Everybody is doing it.
Rudy: Aside from the Ethical issues, it’s so frustrating watching videos online. The ones that Stream are constantly Pausing to buffer. The Interruptions drive me crazy!
Sheila: Yeah, sometimes, but there’s usually a Workaround.
Rudy: Even so, the movies are usually Pirated and they’re so Grainy. I want to watch something in High definition. Come on, let’s go to the video store. It’ll be My treat.
Sheila: All right, If you insist, but why can’t we just pay to download it right here at home?
Rudy: We could do that, but where would we get the Popcorn?
