way way out

Dumb A**es... This has been going on long before..

Please, i know people who can buy copies of movies long before they are out either in the movies or even blockbuster.

Go to NYC...go to a normal street corner...Poof....so why is the internet any different? because i dont have to leave my home?

yes i agree this is wrong, but we have long been paying the price for this and it will continue with the internet.

Besides most of the monies lost is in other contries. Lets be real. 80% of all software in china is pirated. 75% of all movies make it to Japan illegaly before they are even set to be released.

So if these companies were serious they would go after these contries and the real problems, but of course it always easier to charge the americans more to make up for it...and of course this is the easiest contry to BUY a new law!!

Viewed the TEAM FTFVCD copy last night.....

Even though I watched a copy of the Team FTFVCD Star Wars E2 movie at home last night I can't wait to see the film in the theater! The special effects are going to be spectacular on the large screen. (Not to mention a clear and crisp picture!) NOTHING COMPARES TO SEEING THE FILM IN THE THEATER!

Cure can only worse than the disease

They're essentially analog rips, yes? So the only ways to stop them are either

1) By law, put copy prevention technology in the cameras themselves, allowing the MPAA to decide exactly what you can record.

2) By law, put copy prevention technology in all computers, so they won't accept input from copy-protected sources, giving MPAA full control of your computer

or

3) By law, putting copy prevention technology on the Internet itself. This one's totally infeasible, but it wouldn't stop the MPAA from trying.

The first two together are the CBDTPA. The third is worse. Whatever MPAA and its member companies are losing to these bootlegs (I'm guessing on the close order of zero -- the only people willing to go through the trouble to get them are the fanatics who are going to see the movie legitimately a bunch of times anyway), it pales in comparison to the losses caused by this sort of legislation.

Re: What do you guys use to view the files

It all depends on the type of file it is. divx, mpg, avi. I have made home movies before that used mpg format. so I burned them to vcd and can watch them on my tv now.

If they only play as noise sometimes they are only Audio files. No video is attached. Or sometimes they are encoded differently than Media player can read.

www.divx.com for divx I think. Can't remember now.
