Coming from that era myself, buying a VHS tape absolutely gave you ownership of that copy of the movie. Same with music, which is why homemade mixtapes were such a popular and permitted thing.

Studios didn't like it, but no one went after the guy with the little vinyl briefcase of 100 different mixtapes for every sort of occasion.

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

Dude.

I work in a Canadian Costco.

You get a dollar an hour raise every 1040 hours worked. Which at full time works out to every 6 months. So $2/hr in raises a year.

Next month I top out on the pay scale, after 4.5 years of employment. My wage will be $34.40/hr.

At that point my raises do go down to $1/hr per year.

In 2 years I start getting the long term employee payouts, which is $3,000 every 6 months.

What the fuck are you talking about? Oh, and if need be I can back this all up with photos

Also, we'll refund that kayak for any reason. Including no reason
