I don’t buy the “the economy is losing money” argument. All that money is spent elsewhere. If you stop fighting the War on Drugs (for instance) with its multi-billion dollar budget, you lose jobs, but the jobs resurface elsewhere as the government has more to spend. Same with piracy. Real value lies in the products and services being produced. You don’t get more movies created by having a higher movie attendance. Not a lot more. You get the same movies with higher revenues. A lot of money changes hands, yes. But the amount of products/services created does not grow significantly. Thus, the economy does not benefit significantly. And the money goes elsewhere.

Fuck this, I’m not going to the movies again. I’d rather not watch a movie at all than support these people.

I don’t give a penny to movie/music industry. I could live without them!

Re: Try before you buy movie pirates

This ain’t VIDEO GAMES, movie companies use all the money they get to sue pirates.

Before VHS/Betamax there was the home cine projector. Kind of hard to get anything unofficial that way but sure enough along came the cine recorder as well for home and holiday recordings.

I still have that one in the loft along with most other obsolete hardware. Funny how it is hard to throw away something you once enjoyed.

So 35 years ago we still had home movie clips. They were often more enjoyable than what was on the local 3 TV stations back then. Illness I used to fear then along with episodes of Mr & Mrs. I cant ever forget that theme tune.

Thanks for taking the time to write the nice bit of feedback =)

I have a nasty habit of making lengthy replies (believe me it took me a little bit of time to write out as well to try and get it right =S ), however I have found that whenever I make a short one it tends to get dismissed out of hand and/or attacked in such a way to attempt to drown it out and drag attention away from it (a “you can’t handle the truth” moment as I have come to think of them).

Yes it is a lengthy read but I hope I didn’t make too many mistakes within it (to err is human), however a bonus is that due to it’s size it will attract more attention than a simple “copyright infringement is not theft” post.

Evil Pirates: Movie Industry Tops $30 Billion Box Office Record

Does not compute, pirates are pirating more and more movies yet they are still making a profit. Some would say maybe piracy really isnt as big as they make it out to be…..
