Here is a wonderful old man, with 92 years and who consciously reproduce pirated movie discs and not shy about his craft. It downloads from torrent pirated movies, burn them to DVD-discs and sends the mail. Over 8 years of piracy grandfather made copies and sent more than 300,000 CDs! The most popular movies, as he admitted, was "The Hangover" and "Gran Torino!. Pirate name is Mr. Strachman, it is not hidden, but no one could touch them. And all because the pirated discs of its production, it sends the soldiers of the U.S. Army, who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is absolutely free.
All copying discs grandfather spends at home, a little altered for these purposes a home computer, there is no any special equipment. Recently spent $ 400 on a duplicator that makes 7 copies of disks simultaneously. For my money buying boxes for CDs and discs, postage paid by the same. It should be noted that the transfer to the other side of the world costs a lot of money.
For February 2013 Strachman made pirated copies and mailed 1.100 movies. It is not enough, he says. In the best years could send about 80,000 CDs in 12 months.
The history of his craft began with the fact that in 2003, after the death of his wife on one of the sites he had found a section where the soldiers of the hot spots have written about what they lack in foreign lands. And on one of the first places were just fresh movies. Understandable, because the theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan with no premieres. And before the license disks innovations often have to wait more than six months!

Now my grandfather was a true legend. Soldiers sent him a heap of letters of thanks, send your photos and souvenirs. Movie Maker is not very happy with this situation. They grumble and call grandfather criminal. But fear declare it openly, so as an official commenting that his grandfather to thank for the fact that it supports soldiers in distant countries.
