92 year old Brooklyn veteran sends bootlegged movies to the troops...

I sympathize with the movie industry over bootlegs, it is a problem and the producers of these films are entitled to protect their intellectual property.   I admire Hyman "Big Hy" Strachman, not for bootlegging (which is wrong and does impact us all), but for finding a way to get over the loss of his wife and help the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq (and he did shell out $30,000 of his own money).  This is a case where the movie industry should have co-opted and helped Big Hy on his mission.
