I agree with you, not to beat a dead horse, but the movies that are coming out lately are either one: crap, two repeats of older movies (ex.TRON), three a sequal to a movie that either should’ve stopped creating movies (ex.SAW 7) . How ever I did pay for HP7 even though its a sequal, i just wanted to see how it compaired to the book. Saw red riding hood.. wish I had just pirated it instead. Didn’t pay to see adjustment bureau but prolly will recommend to my aunt and uncle to buy on DVD. see from that they made more money off me then you’d think, and I pirate alot of movies, just to determine whether or not its worth money to watch again with a date, or if its something family / friends would like that don’t have computers that would want to maybe buy.

In my humble opinion I believe a “pirate” is one that gets the “good” (movie,software,music, etc) and either sells it, or has some monetary gain from using/making it available. I do not consider myself a “pirate”. But I have ,do and, will download copyrighted material. I would consider myself an “unauthorized copyright material consumer” (UCC). Would it be the same if you sneak into a movie theater and watched a movie without paying?. SO… the reason I choose to be an UCC is : I work hard and have to pay for my electricity, computers and internet connection and I’m not willing to “waste” my money on CRAP. How do I know it’s crap? Because I have the opportunity to evaluate it FULL. If it deserves my support I buy it. Dark knight, Avatar and Inception I payed for the theatrical performance, I downloaded the rips and when the B-ray came out I bought them. In my opinion the people who made the good stuff deserve my and your support and appreciation. (but it is your choice ;)

I think the outrage about the “fat cats” stems from the fact that theses industries put out low-quality products most of the time, get rich by doing so and go with dynomite after mice.
Product-quality:
1, maybe 2 songs per album are advertised, music videos are made. They are good.
When the album is bought and listened to it is revealed that the rest is uninteresting, at best, and the complete oposite of the rocky, head-bopping sound of the advertised ones. Good albums are the exception.
Movies have a similar problem. I work at a video store, so I get to see virtually all movies Hollywood, Bollywood & Co crank out in a year.
Most of it is cheap, shitty, unintelligent movies. They cost millions to make, because you “need” to have this-and-that superstar in it, the movie “needs” to play in the Hamtons and we “need” to give everyone real diamonds for the party scene because they are all stars.
The story of the movie is, at best, rehashed or blatantly copied from a superior source if not completely fabricated by a twelve-year-old, telling the same “fell-down-the-stairs-ho-ho-ho”-joke five times per movie.
Once you have obtained the album or paid the 20 $ movie fee at your cinema it is too late.
The industry has won: You have given them your money and therefore voted at the box office that you wanted to see more of the same shit.
Nevermind the trailer that shows you the best scenes of the movie, nevermind all actors always positively “love to work with the best crew in the history of EVER”.
You have been conned out of you 20-30 $, depending on if you buy music or a movie.
Torrent-sites and filesharers provide complete access.
For a time, almost every movie and music piece will be out there, free for everyone to enjoy. THEN, over time, only the good products will stay online, based on how many people actually upload what they think is good quality.
Shitty products fall under the table.
Good products – and here is the kicker – are on your harddrive. Of your computer.
Not everyone has a kickass-home-cinema-hi-fi-setup at home.
Most people watch the stuff on a small screen, with crappy loudspeakers.
And if – and only IF – they enjoy it they will go out and go to the cinema and buy that album and give you your money.
So-called “fat cats” are the ones who crank out movies like “Marmaduke”, “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” and employ Shia LaBeouf.
And then, when someone calls bullshit and says: “Here, have a look. At the 10 minute mark you will switch it of and delete this piece of shit”
they will SUE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! PIRATE! HELP MY INDUSTRY IS RAPED!
And that gets a little on our nerves after times.
