As for what the movie is about, after watching it, check out Voltaire’s Candide and specifically what it’s saying about “the best of all possible worlds”, then watch the movie again…

As for Open Source Movie- check out:

They are trying to get the ball rolling on that front…

If you read what i wrote initially i was saying the people that do thingsare people signing petitions, writing to politicians, studying law etc etc.

Downloading and uploading itself isnt actually doing anything for the ‘movement’ that you are talking about.[/quote]

Ok i understand your point, and it is true that doing things like that helps, but how can you say that simply using this does not do anything? What is this without people using it? Wouldnt you agree that teaching other people about this technology, and showing them how to use it, and explaining to them the truth of what this all is instead of letting them believe in those horrible propaganda, is doing something?

You show me a petition and il sign it, ive even donated, but I personally believe that just by me using this, showing other people, and informing other people, that I am supporting this.

Not only that, but I have downloaded a band I like and there playing a hour away from me that I am going to go see, isnt that yet another point we are trying to put across?

Support in the ways you can, even if its all you can do is to UPLOAD, thats giving something back.

Stop trying to make some non-existing overlords into even less plausible gods. The scene is gone. Over with. Surpassed by its technological superiors. Multi-rarring content is for idiots. Get real.[/quote]

hahaha ok i dont even support the scene, but you sir are a moron.

The only good non scene movie releases were from axxo.

Yes anyone can rip the dvd and put it on, but who will download it. Who releases the dvd screeners? Who releases the cam versions?

You utter moron[/quote]

All you have proved is that your the sad one, you obviously dont get whats going on here, and made up allot of stuff in your head.

‘by anonymously downloading and redistributing copyright material.’

hmmm.. hey uhh.. wait.. yess.. THATS WORKING! Omg! No way! YEAH YOU FUCKING IDIOT.. lol,

Open your eyes

This IS a movement, just because you don’t want to be a part of it doesn’t mean you can get on here and bash people, go the fuck away nobody gives a shit.

From once started a small community, has turned into a great unstoppable sea, we will wash away those who oppose.

You utter idiot.[/quote]

Ok the other guy had a few valid points, you dont even have one.

Yeah well, this movie wasn’t made for complete morons who just want to sit and stare at an idiot box without actually thinking to themselves what’s going on.

It’s called an imagination and a brain, and I personally enjoy movies like this better than the average “joe Q. stupid” movies that require very little mental capacity to comprehend the theme.

It’s really cool to see the directory recognizing that the internet is a great way to distribute indie films. Hopefully someday we will be able to download them directly from the people that make them.

I personally think what radiohead did with “in rainbows” is the best way to go. If you like it, support them. If you don’t, then don’t give them any money and delete the files. Either way, it cuts out the greedy pigs that are the MPAA/RIAA and gives the money right to the artists.

As in the industrial revolution, people will get hurt as modes of operation transition from old to new.

Exactly how it will pan out is not clear, but that it will… is inevitable.

very good could have eben a bit more open ended, but an interesting concept all the same.

In contrast, content authors expect to monetize the consumption of their works despite the lack of per-item production cost. Of course, the mainstream production and distribution mediums do have associated cost/profit, so it is natural to protect that against unmanaged consumption.

Intellection work should be compensated, but equating physical theft and digital copying is falsified from a comparison between traditional product models and file sharing.

The desire to protect traditional revenue models that control content consumption through managed distribution channels does not by itself justify the continued existence of those same models. For the current industry to succeed, it needs to protect its interests, and currently, its interest is to protect its current business model. However, it promotes the actual business model currently in force rather than acknowledge potentially differing models that might better reflect the value consumers place on content.

If content becomes commoditized to its full extent, it may come to pass that the production of cultural works gets compensated at the cost of production, rather than the rate of consumption (i.e. the rate of copying).

The quantity of consumption of a product made is certainly not equivalent to the ratio involved in physical products, since a consumer may watch a purchased DVD multiple times.

More later.

And no, the best quality rips are from experts. They are not “scene”. In fact, my own rips are higher quality because I’m a professional in the field.
Screeners are picked up by crew-members in production studios, cams and telecines are done by average kids working in the right places, R5’s are from plain movie-theatre employees in the East, they’re not special burglars or something. Trust me, you don’t know what you’re writing about. There is no ’scene’ left, your ‘top-sites’ are kept alive for a bunch of retards living in the dark ages. Any high-bandwidth user has their own ‘top-site’ right at their own PC. BitTorrent has a much higher footprint as a medium than ANY thinkable old ’scene’ method. Plus it doesn’t require the bullshit user-unfriendly multi-packing nonsense.

So you are the retarded moron. Get a clue, grow up. I’m 42 years old, I know where this ’scene’ thing comes from. It’s over.
