Yes, I feel the same way. There have been things (books, music, and video) that I have "bootlegged" because I had no other choice, and the subset of those that later become available legitimately I always buy as soon as possible. I would like to be able to pay the artists, and I hope that as self-publishing gets easier we'll see more of it.
(The oldest thing on my list now is an eight-episode TV show from the early 80s called Wizards and Warriors. It was fluff, it was camp -- and it was fun, and funny. And my VHS tapes, fifth generation and not so good to begin with, are slowly rotting.)
