I’m going to download a DVD rip, becasue its the only way to prove to my parents this movie is worth their money. So my pirating is giving you a sale you never would have had in the first place.

I saw it in both 3D & then again in 2D only a 3 days later with a different group :)

Also 2D makes it easier to watch & you pickup a lot more.

I should direct people to youtube to view the ‘Carpool’ with Graham Linehan, who explains why, even tho he’s someone who creates great sitcoms that come out on DVD, he’s not really against the filesharing online.

Essentially, he says that the vast majority are fans, they’ll be sat over here in the UK, aiting for, for instance, the latest Disney movie. They’re so crazy to see it, they’ll download a crappy cam from America, to sate their appetites until the movie company decides us Brits are worthy of being blessed by a UK cinema release.

Then they’ll be in the queue at the cinema, THEN they’ll buy the special edition Blu Ray.

The reason we’re not buying in many instances is because the industry won’t LET us!

LET us buy your stuff, put things on itunes and amazon download and make sure it’s available, free of ‘added software’ and DRM, and reasonably priced, BEFORE it hits the torrent sites, and hey, maybe you’ll see the fans coming to you instead.

Keep locking your stuff away, behind regional locks, delayed releases, etc, and well, can’t really be surprised that people go to the one place they can see your stuff.

Remember, many piracy sites are asking for ‘donations’ and filesharing sites tend to have ‘premium memberships’, there’s a lot of people paying for stuff, when if the industry would just LET them, they’d pay hollywood and the TV companies instead.

[...] impresses me about TorrentFreak is the amount of primary research you guys are doing. For example, the research on how downloads of the Avengers had no-impact on movie sales. Do you think that coverage on Internet-issues is lopsided because journalists [...]

I imagine the most hardcore had a quick look at the cam version and then saw it properly as well
