Re: Hurt Locker P2P Lawsuit Comes to Canada The movie was barely deserving of its Oscar nominations, let alone its trophies. The studio has lost its mind. |

Ironically, that's sort of why they are suing people. The producers are mad because it didn't make much money in theaters, but was pirated after the Oscars far more than some movies that already made money.
They feel that being an Oscar winner, they deserved higher revenue than they got for the movie. So now they are trying to get that revenue by suing the few people that DID choose to watch it.

Agreed. It was junk IMHO. I would have turned it off during opening credits if there were any. That said, Chariots of Fire was far worse and made way more money. So maybe they have a point. Not much ISO downloading going on in 1981.

I know this was said when the lawsuits came to the US, but it bears repeating:
It's ironic that a movie where the protagonist frequently buys pirated DVDs as a way to connect with the locals is suing those who pirated the movie.
I guess the is still escaping the rights holders...

I'm watching District 9 again, and I've come to realize something: Wikus's got it all wrong. If I were morphing into a 9 foot tall hyper-dextrous alien that can shoot lightning bolts and get high off cat food why would I ever want to become human again? |
