By all means, if folks want to have permanent copies, they should buy them! Brad's videos are decently priced, so it likely makes sense for some folks to purchase from him. We always plug our vendors, and when we get inquiries from folks who want to buy, rather than rent, we refer them to the authors.
Regarding the "legal department" comment: Technical Video Rental operates just like every other video store in the country: we buy our videos, and then rent them out, with no further payments. US Copyright law does required royalty payment for public performances (in front of groups of people), but does not require royalty payments for renting videos to individuals. We make it clear in our FAQ that videos rented from us may not be displayed in public gatherings with out negotiating royalties with the video authors.
