Do the soldiers purchasing Bootleg DVDs in Iraq consider that they may be supporting the very terrorists that they were sent to fight?

I did spend 2 years in Iraq. I witnessed kids selling DVDs on the street. I never bought a bootleg in Iraq. I support the troops. My concern is that the money soldiers are spending on the street may be going unwittingly to buy the equipment used to kill Americans. If you knew the person hiring those kids to sell illegitimate DVDs was using the money fund terrorism would you still buy them just because they were cheap?

what a crying shame that hollywood cant send the movies for free, and all they cry about is a three dollar dvd from another country, hollywood is to blame for the bootlegging, i have a lot of movies that i bought while serving and youd buy them too if youd sign up

There are more free and PX/BX DVD's in Iraq than one could dream about. Plus all that are mailed in by supporters.
"bootleg" on your $400 DVD player? or notepad?
Sorry but not even an issue.

I seriously doubt that the terrorists receive a large portion of their financing from pirated DVD sales.
If the movie studios were smart, they would send the troops free copies of some of the most popular movies.

Why don't you go and fight, better yet start buying movies in the u.s., and send them over in care packages. Instead of complaining about nonsense, act give those real americans some support.

How are soldiers any different than the average American who does the same thing back home? This is not a soldier's only thing people!

No worse than when the troops continued to buy french goods. Are you going to figure out that the troops aren't as political as you?

Those are not terrorists they are just "Pirates," they are hurting the Film Industry and not doing any physical harm to anyone. But it still doesnt make it right.....

whenever we buy anything we are supporting someone. alot of products in the usa are made in china so that means were supporting someone in china. when you buy video game systems your supporting someone in japan. we are always supporting many people some may be terriorst some aren't.
