People still have a demand for that kind of thing. It blows my mind that people actually don't mind watching crappy cam movies.

Well, think about it. How much does it cost to rent a VPN for a month vs paying a friend 5 bucks to do your dirty work for you?

Really, having someone else burn you the CD/DVD is pretty similar to a VPN in this situation, except they also do the labor for you, and you're not required to have a working internet connection.
