Re: Scare Tactics
said by averagedude  :Why not have a move for rent/purchase at time of release? I think that would curb alot of file trading - serioulsy. This sounds good, but it'd be a pirates dream, high quality dvd rip at the same time (possibily even before!) as the official theater release. |

| The point being, IF the movie was released for rental/purchase at the standard $15 - It would not be worth all the time and troubles to download. I am one who would always purchase a movie rather than download as long as the price is right. If the MPAA tries to gouge or initial release then downloading will go on forever. To me it is a simple cost/effort ratio.
As stated else where: If the movie theater does not have an "experience" that is worth paying for then their business model is not working and should not be forcefully subsidised by consumers.
I refuse to multiple purchase and view movies. Movies are a luxury for me and I am patient - I can wait for the discount DVD bin  The more I feel I am being pushed into paying for something, the more I will simply walk away. Heck, wait long enough and the movie will show up on regular tv just like lord or rings, harry potter, matrix as examples. |

Quality
Just gotta say that the pirated dvds we get here (outside the USA) are basically master quality, don't be fooled by them saying only downloaders get the good shit. I saw The Incredibles already retailing at my local friendly neighbourhood pirate dvd stall even before the advertisements came out, hell, even before people started talking about them in p2p groups. How is this possible if the leak is not from the SOURCE?
And they think downloaders are a big deal? Bah. I've posted it before, and I will post it again: end users are SMALL POTATOES. They need to tackle piracy where it begins, in their own ranks. They're being sold out by their own people.
