People telling each other how bad a movie is - that's what costs the industry most money. How long before industry demands legal penalties for criticising movies?
Once they have that one sorted out, then they have the *major* plughole fixed.

You know i'm not preaching that everything should be left wide open to piracy. that realy wouldent be cool. I just like the ability to backup and manipulate the stuff I purchise. I invested alot of cash in many of my DVDs and I like to make backups that I realy dont care if I destory or gte lost. I bought all the Star Trek TNG box sets when they where first releasing for top price. I have all 7 sets. cost me close to $1,000 total i'll guess (they where going for like $150 at the time and now there like $80 so i'm kinda POed as it is). Like I want to risk those geting scratched.
there has to be some kinda compromise on the diffrence between backups and outright piracy. Unfortinitly theres no real way to do that and the MPAA realy dosnt care to do that.
But then I still do download screeners and other stuff thats still in it;s theatrical run from time to time to. So I guess i'm just a dirty pirate anyway.
Isnt it sad how futile of a subject this is to argue? We just simply have no say. there going to do whatever they want and we cant do a thing about it. We always are hypocrits about it anyway
But thats just 1 of the 2 constants in this universe we live in (my constents. yours might differ) Infinity and humands are hypocits (it could be something very minor but none the less it;s true)Heres an intresting point for ya. I have been known to deal in old console video game emulation in the past. theres a well known member of the emulation comunity who develops tools for identing and renaming known rom images. This tool manipulates thousands of comercial rom files (pirated software) and the developer has the nerve to get pissed off and go raging if somone rips off his work and uses it as his own. A pirate that gets pissed if somone pirates his stuff? ha.....
I have a little quote I use alot in matters like this "A thief should expect to get robed". In otherwords as long as we are stealing music and movies they will be stealing our rights witch will incurage us to steal more music and movies and they will steal more rights (the infinity constant of the universe at work). A middle ground must be found to end it.
well i'm ranting and this is toatly disjoned comments nut I think you people will undertsand
This says it all....
