Basis of the bit: He cares enough to watch the movie, he cares enough to want to spend two hours of his day watching it, but not enough to pay for it. He cares enough to call tech support when he can't get to it.
Tech support: Look, you can get this movie right away.
Guy: Oh yeah? Ok, perfect. Tell me where I need to go.
TS: Apple.com
Guy: No you don't understand. I'm trying to get this thing for free.
TS: Yeah you can't do that.
G: Sure I can.
TS: Ok, maybe you can. But you shouldn't do that.
G: Yeahhhhh.... but I'm not willing to pay for it.
TS: Do you think it should be free then?
G: Yes. And look, millions of people do this every day. I'm not like Mad Max out here. Millions and millions of people do this all day every day all year. So we all want it free.
TS: You know it costs a lot to make this stuff, right?
G: Yeah, and they do very well.
TS: Do they? So what if they do. You're saying -
G: - what I'm saying is -
TS: - you're saying that the more successful they are, the more you deserve a free copy?
G: No I'm -
TS: - yeah you are. Would you steal -
G: - It's not stealing -
TS: Okay, not steal, but download. Download then. Would you download something your buddy made that he's charging for?
G: If he was rich.
TS: You know what? Fuck it. I'll google it for you, you selfish asshole. I'll get it. I'll help you rip off an artist that you respect enough to spend two hours benefiting from their work.
G: Uh. Can I speak to your manager?
TS: (pause). Yes. Of course. May I ask why?
G: I don't appreciate the swearing.
