John August is a pretty clever dude- it’s already finished it’s theater run in North America and it did not reach as much of an audience as he wanted (the distro company didn’t feel the need to screen it too widely, just enough to get the reviews to push the DVD), so he’s made this statement about p2p, I think, to get more people to watch it- probably worked, would be interesting to see if that’s the case- both on his intention and on whether or not it worked to get more people seeing it.

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…

Many many ideas could span out of this one little concept. very interesting. Imagine having a new category at the Academy Awards: “Year’s best public-cut movie”

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]
