Ok, here's my two cents. Whenever possible, buy legally made and distributed material (DVDs, VCDs, or whatever), even if it costs more and/or you have to wait longer for it to be delivered. However, if a product exists and the distributors (for whatever reason) are unwilling to release it to your part of the world, then I don't think its wrong in a moral sense to acquire it through ebay, newsrooms, or whatever. That said, I want to stress my belief that acquiring anything bootleg should be considered only as a last resort. Anyone who takes the time and effort to contribute something positive to this world, such as misters Blank and Meier, should be fairly compensated for their works. Actually, if anyone is to blame for loss of revenue (in this instance), its the music distributors who hold back the release of Yello material in certain parts of the world and creating authorized stuff that will only play in certain regions. A lot of people who buy bootlegged stuff aren't out to screw the artists, but are otherwise loyal fans who simply want the same access their favorite artist as everyone else. About the profanity...its just tacky and shows disrespect to everybody. Play nice.
