To steal it means you must deprive someone else of something. If the current RIAA definition of stealing was true, then when you went to see a movie and told someone else the plot of the movie you would be stealing. What was the girl going to do? Sell her cellphone on ebay for $200 just because it has a short clip of “Transformers” on it? A low definition shaky fuzzy horrible sounding clip at that. It did not deprive anyone of any profit to do what she did, in fact it would have made the kid want to see more and added to their profit. As far as Jai’s “You guys” comment, nobody is going to sell a DVD burned with a copy of a “cam” recorded movie as a “real” dvd, and from the people I’ve met who download movies, they only do it to see if the movie was worth renting/buying. As far as laws being enforced because of criminals, does that go to every outdated law? Including the racist laws that said blacks couldn’t vote? Nobody should ever try to change any outdated law or fight against something that is clearly wrong? You need to get a clue, people who want to enjoy media are not criminals because they copy it. I have mp3 copies of my cd’s but if I give a copy to someone else who owns the cd’s and doesn’t have the technical knowledge of how to rip it themselves, I’m a criminal? If I were to buy a CD and set it on fire no one would care, why should they care if I copy it for myself?
Jai needs to wake up.

“Harsh, but required.

You guys (the criminals who steal) are the ones to blame. When a law is enforced, innocents will suffer, unfortunately. But what you criminals fail to realize is: you guys are the reason they have such laws”

Please bend over and take it up the ass.

Thanks.

This is crap. I would understand kicking her out of the theatre, and maybe even banning her… but $2500 and a year in jail? I’m sick of my tax dollars paying to keep nonviolent “criminals” in jail. All they had to do was make her delete what she recorded, and the problem would have been solved. She wouldn’t have gained anything, and the mpaa wouldn’t have lost anything. The mpaa makes millions, and complain that they’re not making trillions. And the actors make millions for playing make believe in front of a camera. Is that more deserving than say.. a fireman or a school teacher? All I can say is that those greedy ass clowns at the mpaa won’t be getting any of my money. I can do without watching their crap; I don’t even want to steal it. If a movie comes out that is really that good, it’ll eventually make it to cable. I just wonder when they’re going to outlaw DVRs. You know it’s going to happen…

Someone else pointed out that only dieing industries consume their consumers.

Generally speaking you want to keep your customers happy. So if you’re arresting your customers (and pissing off the rest of the theatre by interupting a movie to arrest a customer) there must be something wrong.

Ethical or legal or not, this is another sign that the theatre industry as we know it is coming to an end.

Now none of you people will ever be reading this since itz old newz & I should’ve stepped forward long ago but stupid fuckz like Jai need to take that big pole out of your asses because all you people do is come up with the most stupid cover-up examplez that only get somewhere if you can confuse people. because seriously, just say to yourself “It was a poor quality, 20 second recording”. Now how the fuck will she make any money what so ever out of a 20 sec, amateur, low quality clip that she was probably unhappy with aswell even if she were to exploit it herself which i think she had never planned to & even so if she did, NO money was lost at all with the movie business since she had paid for the movie & the fact that a 20 second clip would’ve only teased the viewerz to want to see the rest of the movie for themselves. Well I have soooo much to say & argue/debate about that Fuckz like Jai will never be able to reply with anything because I can only advance my commentz further with more & more factful truth that will get idiotz like you wishing you had NEVER opened your mouth with stupid commentz like “The Lawz the law & she got what she deserved” & other idiotz that say “She is so stupid to have recorded anything in the 1st place” well she seamz to be a helpless & childish behaviored 19 year old even with the boyfriend right by her side & so they maybe are stupid but that doesn’t mean that the copyright protecting officerz didn’t take it too far & that she deserved what she got because they took it way to far & have given a penalty for ignorance as if it had been a very intelligent person with ALL knowledge on the Lawz & the Copyright Lawz, but as i said there is sooo many commentz you people have said (Mostly Jai The Cockheadz Commentz) that I can reply at with full force that cannot be replied back since I will cover EVERYTHING that can NEVER be argued about…… Well also it is 6:23 in Australia at the moment & a tired person such as myself can still kick the living crap out of anyone I do not like, but just tired enough to want to not argue + i’m sure NOBODY will be reading this from the August 3rd commenting but I know that people will read this later on & will feel the same way as me, but quite possibly I will never be on this website again. Well anywayz seeya to anyone who readz this & oh yeh i’m pretty sure Jai & the rest of the Bullshit talkerz have been on other Blogz & have spoken loadz of shit on those aswell.

What do you mean: stop calling people CRIMINALS. That’s EXACTLY what you all are. Yes, 15 pounds for a CD. If you don’t like it, then here are your options:
1) Listen to free artists
2) Quit listening to music
3) Only listen to cheaper music.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO MUSIC.

Get over yourselves, CRIMINALS. There is NOTHING unethical about a PERSON PROTECTING HIS/HER CREATION.

By this I take it you don’t think it’s unethical for say Brad pitt(or any other high payed actor/actress) to make 60 Millon USD / movie (take or give what ever suits you) while the ones that acually writes the manuscript basicly gets robbed?

The law is the law you say and that’s kinda hard to misinterpret, but that sure as hell doesn’t say there’s something wrong with it when it’s twisted as to only benefit large corporations.

copyright is a necessary evil that should be tolerated to the MINIMUM( not 70 years after the death of the maker/inventer) extent necessary to ensure that the public receives the desired benefit.

on a side note do you think prostitution is ethical since it’s not illegal in Nevada?

Please, ethics have nothing to do with the law.

Maybe if these faggots would make some movies worth buying people wouldn’t “steal” them?

Steal what? Half of the movies out are just older movies redone or movies that pretty much STEAL the plot of others.

As it stands right now, there’s nothing worth buying. I also wont waste money on some shit I may watch once and then toss out the window.

All you faggots on here talking about how everyone is a criminal… Why? Because instead of owning a 30 million dollar house, they have to settle for a 20 million dollar house? Because they act? Because acting is hard work..

All you idiots need to shut the fuck up. Pay our teachers more, pay our goddamn police officers more. Fuck these faggot movie directors and actors. What difference do they make in anyones lives?

Bitches like all you faggots talking about oh she still broke the law are the reason we have such self righteous uncle toms in the states and why no one likes americans. Hell, I live here and I hate half(at least) of you fucking morons here.

Not for long. If we (the pirates and the sensible) continue to boycott cinemas and download movies instead, we will eventually topple the regimes know as the MPAA, the RIAA, and the BSA. Then, we can implement a working system that allows the actors and musicians to make money, and the masses to share their works.

After all it is the best country ever STOLEN.Except they wern’t people they where savages and thusly Legal too kill.
Slavery was legal @ one time.
So I suppose if its “legal” its morally “ok”.

The movie and recording industry is nothing but a bunch of lazy fucks that rape there living off breaking the backs of the artists they promote.
Every time there work is viewed they want $$ with out any more work input on there end.
Screw them corporate assfucks.
Want more $$ then go do some more work ya lazy bumz.
Stop infringing on my stolen rights bought with the blood of many damn it.
I service autos for a living.
I get paid for each repair job I do.Once its completed thats it jobs done i get paid story ends..
Now if i was like the recording industry I would be charging for every time they drive there own auto.
What the MIAA/RIAA/MPA Are doing is straight up extortion imo.Legalized Extortion so i suppose that makes it “right”.
These Laws are nothing but murderous tools too freedom.Infringements on liberty.The ONLY Freedom in America is your freedom of choice over your path of economic enslavement.Slavery built this country . And slavery runs it too this day.Only a mind freed can see such truths.

First of all, to all the idiots who keep accusing this girl of “stealing,” shut up. It’s not theft or stealing. It’s copyright infringement, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STEALING. Stealing is literally taking property from someone/something so that the entity you took it from no longer has it and you do. You can’t steal intellectual property, which is the whole reason why these things are copyrighted. They hardly lose any money from copyright infringement, despite the little numbers they give you about how they are losing sooooo much money every year… there are so many factors that go into those numbers that you cannot blame it on one facet.

Secondly, a “law” is a “law” simply because someone makes it a “law.” You people love your populist bullshit and will simply abide by any new law dished out there because “hey, it’s the law.” it goes along wiht that “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.” that’s not the fucking point. the point is some of these bullshit laws about intellectual property and copyrights are made solely for the idea of hording money. Open your fucking eyes people and realize you’re the ones getting fucked, not the MPAA, the RIAA, or other big corporations

Listen to yourself, fucktard: “YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO MUSIC.”

You mean poor people, or whoever doesn’t have enough money to buy a CD player and 15 bucks CD’s DOESN’T HAVE A RIGHT TO MUSIC?

If you are old enough, you should know how it was between the 60s and 80s. Everyone shared music through cassete tapes, and even so, they’d buy LPs of their favorite bands BECAUSE THEY APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THAT SPECIFIC BAND OR SINGER, not because there was no other fucking way to listen to music.

The difference? Studios and artists weren’t fucking greedy that time. They’d be happy enough with fans and praise from the music lovers. Nowadays, there are tons of “commercial songs” being produced. Exactly: “COMMERCIAL” songs. It speaks for itself. Musics made do SELL albums, even if they are a piece of shit. Then the law enforces that you have to buy tons of shit to listen to one single music.

It is non anti-american, it is very american to be cautious that your freedom and liberties arent taken away.
