I should also add that Pisano personally threatened me when I worked at MGM. I had encountered constant anti-Catholic bigotry at MGM and elsewhere in Hollywood and when I tried to stand up against that was attacked more. This ended up in dispute where Pisano openly supported another employee who had repeated insulted Jesus. (Another employee said she wanted to kill the Pope.) Pisano got right in my face and threatened me which was slightly intimidating although he’s a dwarf he was rumored to be involved with the Mafia.

Robert Pisano handled the case against Art Buchwald, where Pisano’s company was found guilty of stealing Buchwald’s script. There was a book written about this. I know also that Pisano has done this type of thing on several other occasions but that Buchwald was the only one who could fight back. It’s “ironic” that he claims to fight for artists when he was found guilty by a jury of stealing.

Without downloading, I have no need of broadband. So the ISP that becomes the cop to stop my downloading will become the former ISP and I will return to 56k without problems. I will make sure the ISP of the 56k is not the same ISP that gave me grief.

What else will happen is that I will then visit my friends with external hard drives to offer them what might take them a long time to download. Instead of having to get it at whatever speed/limitation their ISP might have, they will be able to pick from better than a TB of data. They will have it far sooner than the internet could supply them with it. I will do this for pure spite and a desire of vengance.

indeed, go TPB! I still can’t believe this trap of idiots has been going on for a long time now; and warranting protests, HE33 YES! Pirates being weak? Hmm… someone has a weak brain. Look how many of us we are, we’re apparently too many, otherwise your so called “fellow officers” (mates) would have stopped us by now. For now, the RIAA and MPAA are lobbying for damaging everything on these “political” elections. i suggest they go back and suck their thumbs as they were doing so before. It seems like this is the job that has more profficiency among politicians, who are separating their “matters” MORE AND MORE each day from society.

@ #5

I use my bandwidth and BBC iPlayer to stream BBC progs I’ve missed over the previous week, I can’t do that without the fast speeds. This is the way technology is going.
Today, we don’t have to download copyright material to use a large amount of bandwidth.. so it’s not an indication that I’m a pirate.

Unless the legal alternative download sites are free they wont work. The industry needs to look into other methods to regain the customers. For example give the movies away for free download but put something like a 5 minute add break in the middle of the movie to make money from advertisers.

“Pirates are very r3t4rd3d individuals.

They should be given lethal injection.”

1. If pirates are really so “r3t4rd3d” as this guy says then how is it that their the first to break the drm schemes, some of which are beyond the ability of the average user to break.

2. “They should be given lethal injection.” – this just reinforces the impression you put on everyone when you called a bunch of people retarted in leet….

to repeat myself. Aswell as making the content available in the first place the internet has allowed people to meet so many more people worldwide…alot of the time making friends with people in the US. peer pressure is the stable of telvision and sports programming alike…everyone wants to be in on the office gossi (or chatroom) gossip. Therefore people will not wait (even 1 day) for a show like lost, prison break or heroes when they can download it 1 hour after it airs…and then be part of the international gossip the next day.
Ther shows i mentioned all rely heavily on word of mouth and internet chat as a means of advertising their show. The producers then think they can cut off the hand that feeds them?i dont think so.
With current Tech there is absolutely no reason why we cannot have simultaneous worldwide airing of shows, as well as downloads being made available at the same time. If these were done (say…via itunes) without drm, international restrictions or delay then it would kill the illegal download market overnight.the producers think they can fight the internet…im sorry guys but this is a version of media that you never censor!

this very same r374rd3d individual of course googled how to write in 1337 and was a former employee/is currently a 5h1the4d of what people call “government” now a days. If i had known any better and not stick to “schoool” I am feeling more than free and proud for declaring governments good 1i4rz who give very good b10wj0bz to anyone regardless of geder or even race (outside humanity). “power” gets you “money” which obviously gets you terrorism within your own country and the idiots for which you were even more stupid to “nominate” and “trust”. Unfortunately we all are taught that people are nice when they all along havve backstabbed the |-|13l outta everyone and are now known as MPAA (more pathetic amalgamating as5h013s) , RIAA (retired idiots analyzing “those previously mentioned” 455ho|3s). Of course we are affected because we are the “people”. I wonder why these news are just kept to the internet and not to the wannabe’s on fox (or rather “fux”) news, your local channel, your national channel… at least if the United states and much of its culture wasn’t “divide anc conquer” we would not be victims of our own inventions. If you really want this to stop your best bet is to advocate and SPEAK OUT for YOUR RIGHTS.. not theirs, YOURS!

Why should the copyright industry have to go through the law, in which they have to actually prove infringement occurred, when they can completely circumvent it, and declare the guilt of an individual without due process or review. This is unequivocal totalitarianism.

The copyright and patent laws should be dismantled for the good of the human race.

“In contrast, Riccardo Tozzi, President of the National Union of Producers wants to convert pirates into paying customers by offering movies at an affordable price.”

The only way they will successfully do that is if they do the following:
1. Significantly increase the video quality beyond what iTunes currently offers. I mean like full Blu-ray quality HD 1080p with a high bit-rate. The bit-rate iTunes uses is way too low.

2. No DRM. It proved totally unsucessful with Music and it’s equally unsuccessful with Movies. Today, ripping a blu-ray is little more difficult than ripping a CD, and as quite clearly evidenced by the fact that illegal torrents is such a problem for them, the DRM isn’t working at all.

3. No regional restrictions. It’s unbelievable that we still have a very limited selection of movies, if any, available through stores like iTunes outside of the US. People in other countries aren’t given a choice.

4. Ensure that the price is less expensive than the equivalent DVD or Blu-ray (depending on the quality). Currently, iTunes Australia has many low quality videos available at higher cost than the DVDs.

With zero restrictions imposed on the HD rips available through torrents and usenet and a significantly higher quality, it’s no wonder that people are turning to illegal alternatives to get what they want.
