I've never understood bootlegging, but then I don't have the technical knowhow to do so. I've never Kazaa'd or Napstered -- or ipoded, for that matter. With so many movies out, theatre quality, before movies even hit the cineplexes, folks who don't have to pay to rent a movie or pay to sit in a cineplex aren't going to.
But I applaud you for asking people to support the people who are making the movies so many are downloading for free. If only there weren't so many scam artists out there, who are only lining their own pockets, giving the downloaders reason to seek out the free stuff in the first place.
As for StrayX, I don't know what's going on with her, either. Wasn't there also another actress/amateur at ZS -- from France -- who was really popular, but also quit last year because her heart wasn't into it anymore, she'd gone as far as she wanted to go and now it was time to move on and move forward? I hope StrayX is also moving on and moving forward, no matter where life is currently taking her.
