Re: Is this some kind of joke? Slight problem with your analogy... If you go to a theatre and the movies sold out and you sneak in.. Taking a paying customers seat from them then yes you ripped off the theater... If you go and sit in the movie and there are 50 seats free then in reality you didn't steal anything at all and may have actually made the theater some money if you bought a drink.
My point was I'm not technically taking anything away from the ppl who made the film if I download it and watch something I never planned on paying for in the 1st place... If I like it I may even go out and buy the Blu-ray or tell a friend about it which may make another sale... Piracy isn't all about "stealing". If it wasn't for tape trading in the 80s Metallica would never of blown up as big as they did... Which is why fans backlashed at the whole napster thing. |

| You have got to be kidding. Is this really how pirates think and justify what they do. Absolutely hysterical. |

| Digital socialism... Isn't it grand!?
Do you work in the industry or do you just like the smell of your own farts? |

Facts tend to lean in my favor... Us "pirates" spend more money in the entertainment/digital industry then those who don't. |

QFT!
I know he probably won't respond to this post but here's some good reading:
Dear RIAA: Pirates Buy More. Full Stop. Deal With It.
Another Day, Another Study That Says 'Pirates' Are The Best Customers... This Time From HADOPI
Music pirates spend more on music than their legal, law-abiding brethren
Go Figure: UK movie pirates spend more at the box office than non-pirates
Interesting how that works out  |

The whole "pirates spend more" BS is hillarious. I have like 2000 DVD's and CD's in my collections, if I was like YOU, Id have a tiny percentage of them, if any at all. If the RIAA and MPAA thew in the towel, and all copyright laws were reversed, you make it sound as if this would increase their profits ! lol omg. I know for the sake of morals, when pirates download an entire Season of Dexter, and like it, they then go out and buy the real thing, not burn their own copy, right? LOL. Not that "liking it" has anything in the world to do with it. The most Righteous breed of humans in this world are Copyright Infringers, thanks for clearing that up. I'm not sure where you're getting these conclusions from. I don't watch TV and any movies I want to see(very rarely, hollywood = narcissistic garbage) I go see in theaters, just a couple times a year. My 300Mbps FIOS connection is 99% full 24/7/365, 100% legally so even if I had a reason to download something illegally I wouldn't have enough bandwidth left over LOL.
Try again? |

Ok so you do love the smell of your own farts... Gotcha..
Well then it must of sucked for you when netflix came about eh? Suddenly someone could have access to 100s if not 1000s of movies and tv shows all for $7 a month... Kinda makes your 2000 DVD collection a bit of a waste of space huh? Not mention a waste of money! |

Actually I tried Netflix, I dropped it after a month because their HD content sucked, and their selection was very limited overall. From what I heard that was the fault of Starz, I dont know how their HD is now, and I dont care to find out. Oh, and Netflix doesnt have all the movies I own.
Have I voiced any opposition to Netflix? Keep to the subject of piracy. |

My analogy CLEARLY stated the theater wasn't full. An apparently you justified me breaking the law. |
