But I often would not have seen it had I not downloaded it. These guys are total idiots.

Stop talking outta your ass.

“$19.99 for a DVD? Ya’ll must be crazy!”

the fact is that if you try and sell a 30$ cdr of music or 40$ DVDR of COURSE there will be piracy when can get a blank disc for ONE DOLLAR
thats how GOD DMAN GREEDY THEY ARE.
if milk had the same market up fgarmers fields woudl be armed camps with a carton of milk going for 80$ i’ll bet the invasions of farms would begin and mass piracy would occur.

in a market driven economy poeople look for the best most convient deal.
When you get so greedy that people unethically get copyrighted material aka vis a vi piracy and p2p then you ahve created the problem when you PAY ARNOLD 20 million per film.

and the reason a very, very, small group of actors are paid a lot more than you is because it’s a helluva lot harder to become a successful actor than it is to become just another “post grad”.

the fact that you have an educational degree from somewhere while still holding firm to such silly, uneducated opinions further discredits the value of being a graduate.

But then, what do I know? I’m only an internet user, age 18-34, on SSI who can’t afford to go to lots of big movies (and morally cannot due to the Cinemark boycott, though that’s not the MPAA’s fault, obviously). You know, only their target demographic.

and a very small percentage of actors get paid a lot more than you because it’s a helluva lot harder to become a successful actor than it is to be a “post grad”.

lol

but go ahead, continue to feel sorry for yourself and bleat and blather your justifications for not being more successful. wave that loser flag high…

How come now actors get paid millions and I being a Post Grad only get paid a pittance?

Go Piracy !!!The only solution.

There is no reason these MF making 1000-2000 times the money I make.

Go Piracy !!!The only solution.

jess

Also, as if people as if people won’t get any incentive from a chance of success and being famous, either through innate abilities or through improvement, &c.

Roze

Oh, wait.

Yeah….Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee.
I want it NOW.

It is insane to include income eliminated from fair market competition in “losses” genrated by piracy.”

Great post no. 2. QFT

Where is the MPAA success?
Who ends up paying for this parasite, yes the professional contebt creator.

Have the MPAA served as a custodian for content, no.

Do creators earn good money alongside file sharers, yes Darknight is a classic example of try before you buy.

Filesharers like content, real content none of this….lets choose any old famous actor to market our shit, but real actors real content=real returns. Only the MPAA will not champion those words because those words will put them out of business.

Actually, yes – it does mean piracy hasn’t had an adverse effect on the box-office if a movie can come out and gross a billion dollars at a time when a recordbreaking number of people fileshare.

So long, and thanks for playing.

Hahahah. For your information, I do advocate some form of socialism. Can you say, mandatory wealth cap?

Oh, but you’re right. It would come back to haunt me when I rise to superstardom and make ONE BILLION DOLLARS, only to be told that ONE BILLION DOLLARS is enough.

Then how ever would I afford my solid gold castle on a manmade island the size of China floating somewhere just off the Bahamas, complete with pure diamond toilets, and bathroom tissue made out of thousand dollar bills?

Anonymous: “If you can afford an internet connection for instance, someone, somewhere thinks YOU make too much money.”

Considering that if I stopped paying my ISP it would result in savings of less than $1 extra dollar a day, there’s a word for anybody anywhere that thinks I’m making too much money if I can afford an Internet connection.

That word is “dipshit”.

yeah, i probably cost the cinema’s $30 by watching it 6 times at home rather than going to cinema’s, but i can assure you, i wouldnt have gone to see it 6 more times, maybe once at most…

ill buy the dvd of a good movie cause im happy to have it sitting in my dvd cabinet, and im happy to support quality films
ill download a crappy movie because, well, its crappy and i dont want to show support for crap movies

Make good movies to make money, its that simple.

Pay a cheaper price which would be direct to the artist without all the excesses the mpaa puts on top for their FUD that they brainwash the artists & consumer with.

Only thing the mpaa is protecting is how much they get paid.

1. The MPAA does not make movies they represent parties that do.

2. The MPAA is against ratings because it limits their members ability to attract viewers. It’s your government that’s responsible.

3. You still doenload PC games you fucking moron.

4. No companie gives a shit about you enough to “fight for what you want”.

5. Most movies do not make back their costs from boix office sales alone.

6. Many movies do not even make back costs henc making them an extremely risky investment. Like a retard your suing the example of The Dark Kniught to prove this when over 1000 other movies were released in the USA alone this year.

7. You obviosuly know jack shit about ways to invest money. And the relationship between risk and return.

Shut up … please. You sound retarded.

“Hell most movies make more back than was put in from box office sales alone.”

is flat out BS. the polar opposite of reality.

the best/worst thing about the internet is it gives everyone a voice. i sometimes miss the days when dumb ass fifteen year olds didn’t have such a convenient soapbox to stand on.

and #36, punisher war zone has a 22% rating on rotten tomatoes so don’t blame anybody else for your lack of due diligence as a consumer.

And unless you advocate some form of socialism, it is not your place to tell anyone they’ve earned enough money as that same sentiment could then be applied to you. If you can afford an internet connection for instance, someone, somewhere thinks YOU make too much money.

…correction…It’s already growing…about 7% per year…

Upon thinking about this idea, I think that it would be impossible for the MPAA to do whether or not the idea is good.

Roze

1. because a lot of others reported it already before us.

2. because we’re not THAT interested in the business side of BitTorrent

3. because we can still download uTorrent…

It’s almost like torrentfreak filters most BitTorrent, Inc. content? Are you guys in bed?

@aiel8 I was in the same boat when I was younger. Napster had just been phased out to morpheus/k-lite/whatever the first Jackass movie came out and I was like ah fuck I was a couple months from turning 19 and they wouldn’t let me buy a ticket to see it. So I bought my ticket through a machine went to go through the doors and cops were waiting to bust kids trying to get in. Me being the younger looking male I got stopped and they refused to let me in despite my drivers license proving I was turning 19 within a couple months.

…Then I went home downloaded it and had a good chuckle.

As usual, his math does not add up.

J.

I’d also say that of course it would, if they don’t do as #1 suggests.

To be honest, though, I hope that they DON’T, and then burn and crash under the failure of their own pitiful construction. Maybe they’ll stop wasting money on pursuing bad ‘infringement’ cases.

The real problem are those jerks who sell ripped DVDs on streets. Those are the ones that are absolutely making a profit off of the pirated content.

I always thought it was interesting. Many counterfeit DVD and product sales are much cheaper, but the ones who produce the counterfeits wouldn’t be doing it if there wasn’t a business interest in it. Sure, they don’t have to pay the content creators, but they still pay the physical distribution costs, and in big releases like big name games and movies, the offset there is negligible as far as what the end-product sales price should be.

I’ll be crying for the MPAA when they’re struggling to make payments on a dinky little home and support their family on a less than 50k a year income. It’s not going to happen, until they’re put out of their mob business.
