Before I start, a few things.

Not getting on you, I just like the video and think it applies. It's also humorous and everyone loves humor. If you don't already read books for fun you should start. It'll help expand your vocabulary, along with your knowledge, neither of which are terrible things to improve.
tokyoUW, my start off by saying, any thing you might have said that would hav made me agree with you was completely blown out of the water when you started swearing. swearing in of itself is a sign of stupidity.

That is actually a terrible reason to disagree with someone and is an untrue opinion. Brilliant minds often use cuss words to drive points home. If I want someone to pay attention I can swear and get their attention; there is no point in being proper if no one is listening to what you have to say.
However, 'my start off by saying' is in no way correct and 'would hav made' has in fact made you look careless, if not ignorant. I would like to know your reasons for connecting swearing and stupidity, as their is no correlation between the two.
Onto Exposure.
It's no secret that taking something you did not create and putting it out for everyone to learn is wrong. The people who do this are just looking for attention, much like when they cut their own wrists. Okay, so cutting and exposing are not directly related as it turns out; but the comparison still stands. /sarcasm
It's sad to see the people who take effects and run the DVD through once, only to then get out their 20 dollar cameras and explain how to do it. It's worse when they get the satisfaction of being called magicians. It's sickening.
Magicians who put their own secrets out for sale have tested their material and usually put a lot of work into them. They hold the right to write a book or produce a DVD exposing their secrets. Everybody has to eat right? Just like I have the right to keep my secrets to myself, both magic related and private.
It's pretty damn sad to see something as useful as the internet being used to hurt the magic industry. It's a shame. It's something little can be done about, though. I voice opinions to most of the people who do expose magic in hopes they might find respect for the keeping of secrets.
The problem with explaining respect to people who blatantly disrespect people:
Respect doesn't just happen, it has to be learned. And even then respect is only given to those seen as worthy of it. If I think someone is a sucker for telling me a secret, I will use it against them. If I respect them for trusting me with their secret, no one will even know that there is a secret.
And because I can't decide which way sounds better, I'll put the other wording for further clarification.
Some people buy a secret and think it is their duty to keep it a secret. Others cross their fingers and listen in just long enough to be able to tell someone else what they just learned.

PS.
I'm apologize if I offended anyone
You should never apologize for offending someone. Too many people are passive aggressive these days. Express your opinion, make sure you word it in a way that there is no confusion next time, and stand by it. Steerpike and Morgician would be the top examples of this. Off the top of my head that is.
