Exactly. It's for the sake of this site, not for the sake of morals.
Because we all know, morally, Lucas has been ripping us off with the last 2 DVD releases.
Ghostbusters, I don't see how buying it from ebay or a 'legal site' makes it any less money in lucas's pocket. If you're buying it via digital distribution that's more in his pocket if anything - no manufacturing costs. Ebay and you're still contributing to the market and depriving someone of a used copy, who will then go ahead and buy the retail one.
... or go for the dozens of other offers. Point is, if enough people put the DVDs on Ebay after buying them, more people will own them without having paid the manufacturer, causing the manufacturer to lose some of the profit.
Not that it mattered to me, anyways - I don't care about ideals or boycotts, if I'd be interested in buying that BluRay, I'd do it. I'm not.
