He’s over-reacting, but more will follow him in the coming years ahead. The Move Industry keeps adding more and more security to themselves that they’ll end up putting security against themselves from selling DVDs and playing films in cinemas.

[quote comment="257423"]If hes not responsible enough to keep these films safe, its good that he does not get them. Burn the goddamn things after you watch them and dont qq because you like piracy and dont give a fuck about other peoples property. Lame satire like a 10yo wrote it.

Who is this douchebag anyway? Try finding a picture of him, hes a professional background actor. Whoop.

Taking someones elses property whether they are rich or poor is stealing. Huge companies pay assloads more taxes than average Joes to pay for welfare suckling douches who sit at home downloading other peoples property.[/quote]

HAHAHA! Trying to sway opinion on TorrentFreak. Pathetic lowlife. BAHAHAHAHA!!!

[quote comment="256745"]What an idiot.

As if they are going to haul you off to jail if your screener copy is legitimately stolen.

It’s not unreasonable to ask them to sign something saying they won’t let anyone else have them and pointing out the penalties for violating that promise, like that old guy a couple years ago who was caught routinely sending his screeners to someone in the Chicago area who in turn duped them for friends.

There is no requirement for going to outlandish lengths to protect the screeners.[/quote]

What is this dick doing here? This be no pirate. This be corporate rat boy.

You guys are too tightly wound over here

I thought it was quite funny, he is just pointing out in a comical way that he shouldnt have to feel like a criminal when he pays for membership and helps the movie industry out.

Thing is, this is BAD satire, because usually you aren’t sure if the author of said satire text is being serious or not, in this case, he went overboard too quickly, for good satire, read the “is your son a hacker?” article, now THAT is good satire!

But really…

Why do the companies a favour if they’re already suspecting you of stealing their merchandise AND threatening in your own home?

They’re even loosing their screener people now.. it’s glorious :D

Its shame how crude peoples sense of humor have become. Its suppose to be a satirical piece. Get over yourself.

He may not like pirating, but he makes the case of how far anti-piracy measure will got and how they’ll harm unintended people.

“Written by enigmax on January 05, 2008″

The academy forces a member out to prevent leeching of movies, he blogs about it and you leech his blog.

Learn to hyperlink, plagiarist.

Britt Who?

Like AMPAS gives a rats arse that a 69 year old unknown third string bit part actor has declined to accept screeners. BFD.

It doesn’t matter if the guy is/was talented, is/was conscientious with his AA evaluation/review duties, he is a relative nobody. His dramatic resignation is no big deal to anyone, anywhere, except himself.

Yawn.
