There are definite things I don’t like about it. Like when stuff is stolen from movies and put on there. I’ve seen some of my films on there partitioned into 12 sections even.

Your stuff is on there?

Yeah, then you have to chase after these guys to take it off because you’re losing money because your DVDs aren’t selling … that kind of stuff. That’s a downside. On the other hand, when I think about it, that’s kind of interesting too. A weird stealing. They’re ‘stealing’ from me, but I would say if they do that to a shitty Hollywood film – I’m all for it! [Laughs.] So where are the moral implications here?

Where’s the revolution?

Yeah! I happen to think that if you’re fucking around with some corporation, then I don’t care! ‘Cause they make a lot of money and they are gonna make it no matter what. But if you are fucking with somebody’s basic lifeblood … Take, for example, the Dee Dee Ramone DVD [Hey Is Dee Dee Home?, 2003]: we released 15,000, which isn’t much. So if they are ripping that off, that means they are taking money out of my pocket … well, kind of. So, maybe you sell a thousand less DVDs and you make a few thousand dollars less money. I dunno. In a way it’s cool that they are ripping you off, but I would still like to make the money!
