| Popcorn? Among the arguments NBC tried to put forth was that broadband P2P use hurts the American farmer because less popcorn is sold. I never eat popcorn at theaters. In fact, there is a greater chance of me eating popcorn at home watching a movie. I'm not a big fan of overly priced food that doesn't taste all that great. |

| I've got to agree. When I go to see a movie in the theatre, I don't buy popcorn or any other snacks/drinks. When I'm home though, I pop popcorn all the time. Ever since getting my wife a Whirley Pop, we eat a lot of popcorn. Even when we're not watching TV/movies.
So is it ok to pirate an NBC show provided you eat plenty of popcorn while watching it?

| We eat popcorn while watching movies at home, at least 2-3 times a week. I haven't been to a theater in over 10 years, but I do my share to consume popcorn.
We make our popcorn with oil in a Stir Crazy (best popper ever) and use real butter. Microwave popcorn and it's cousin "air" poppers are both trash.
This is the popcorn thread isn't it?

| Sure. Why not.
I used to love Microwave popcorn until I started popping my own. Now I can't imagine going back. (Though I do have some Microwave popcorn left over that I'll have to use eventually.)
Have you ever tried popcorn for breakfast? A big bowl of popcorn with some milk poured over it. (Perhaps some sugar if you want it sweeter, but I prefer it without.)

Re: Popcorn? Farmers aren't selling less popcorn because of piracy, they are selling their corn crops for ethanol. Next NBC will be claiming that piracy hurts both corn farmers and gas companies because nobody is driving to the movies.
I say, P2P use saves gas...something nobody can argue with these days! |

[/BQUOTE :Bought this again a couple of years and won't look back. It's a bit of a drag to have to clean it, but not hard and worth it for the quality of the result. The hybrid popcorn in a jar works better than the bog standard bagged stuff. |

Re: We eat popcorn while watching movies at home, Yeah, Rickenbacker's works for us, and not the white corn, only the yellow.
You have to hand wash the dome with a sponge, but I plug the bottom back in for a few seconds (after removing the stirrer) and then it's easy to paper towel the remaining oil away. |

Re: Popcorn? So the solution for climate change is culture change. I dig it! I can just see the spin on this:
