Did you watch BURN-E as well?

Yes. Poor guy. :-)

How about I pirate you a copy and you give the money to someone more worthy than disney.

Piracy wins from a quality perspective too - there's BR rips and x264 transcodes around in 1080p, whilst both Apple TV and XBL are 720p only AFAIK.

I can bring it over this evening on the off chance you take me up.

I don't claim to have figured out the ethical do's and don'ts when it comes to copyright infringement, but I do think that people who produce creative work should be able to earn a living doing it. Disney might not miss my money very much, but if everyone did the same thing the business model that keeps Pixar doing what they do would collapse. I'm not certain at this point that they would be able to find another one.

Besides, I'm not sure you really meant to offer to pootle on up to Stafford this evening. :-)

Whoops, forgot you weren't in London any more.

You could always buy the DVD and pirate the HD version with the justification that it's not offered in a format you can use.
