To stop feeling so insecure as to gauge his popularity by crowd-sourcing his inane life. In other words: "Dude, grow some balls and get an imagination."

It's not like they've buried it in the ground. Their free cash is being re-invested through all sorts of enterprises. Even if they were to only keep it in banks, those institutions lend out to other businesses and invest with it themselves. This is a good thing.

Though technically true, pirating is also a revenue generator, no matter how you justify it.

I feel ya. I've been ripping bluerays to mp4 via Handbrake for the last couple years.. takes hours and pegs all 8 virtual cores on my i7.
