Ok, I'm just a little mad at myself. Several months ago I gave a free lesson to a guy from Church.... yes church. We finish up and I play the Barbary Coast lick, he really digs it so I pop on the Jaco modern electric bass dvd, after a few minutes I ask him if he wants to borrow it for the week. He cancels the next week and moves the following week. I call and his cell phone is changes his girlfriend tells me they've broken up and she doesn't have his number...
It wouldn't bother me except In the past 15 years had 9 vhs/dvd's stolen/ruined/loaned ect. I'm so tired of buying this thing...

I also try to be nice to folks, but some 'friends' see that as a sign of weakness.. so I've learned to say "no!" just because certain things should not be loaned out PERIOD.. not the easiest thing to vocalize, but you'll be glad you did.. hehe, gets alot easier with practice too |

But not really, because downloading illegally is wrong.

Did you copy it?
I say no - I've ordered my own copy.
They say - but you can just copy it.
I say - yes I know how to, but I prefer not to copy it, and to order the original.
.....I think they think I'm strange.

I even had a guy BS me saying he didn't know what I was talking about A WEEK after a lent him a DVD. I had to shove him aside, go in his home take my DVD then leave.
That was the last time I lent anything to a man.  |

Same here, I'm collecting this stuff, have two copies of everything one that i'm using and one is for the collection.
I love to buy the originals along with the book or whatever it comes with.
Never loaning nothing to anyone, i just say that i'm a collector and if they want to get it i'll be happy to say where to buy it. |

| No offense but 9 times and you never took a hint?
anyway I'm with you. I avoid lending out anything. If you really have to, make a copy.
