I don’t mind to pay $8 to see a movie in the cinema, some movies you just have to see on the big screen.

What I do mind is when i have to pay $4 for a cup of coke filled with 50% ice and $4 for a bucket of popcorn, now that’s called Grand Theft :)

So these days I go to walmart buy myself drinks, candy and popcorn watch a brand new screener while i download at the same time two other new screeners :) or occasionally br/dvd-rips in 1080p

Long Life Broadband and my Philips BR-RW :)

What’s illegal about file sharing? Somebody bought the file before sharing it.

here is another perspective:
the studios dont care who pays them as long as they get their money from SOMEWHERE. consider this. how many times have you watched content that was once available as a movie, later as dvd, then as a paid from cable content, and then via free-to-air TV ? it happens all the time. now if you take the last part, you’ll realize that the free-to-air channels do in fact pay the studios to get the content, but we dont, because the station also broadcasts ads in the hopes to make some money to pay for the content, their expenses and also make some profit. but since they have no mechanism to see who is actually paying (we viewers by buying stuff that they advertise) in reality they give that content to us for FREE. so in reality the studios DO GIVE their content for free, but some one else (the station) paid them. so they dont care since they got their money already. this example clearly shows that the whole mechanism is flawed and needs a new design from the ground up so that everyone can benefit. I used to work for TV and media so we have to admit that companies need to pay their people, so they cant afford to lose money all the time, they need however to find other ways to monetize the content.
