Alot of people put alot of money and sweat into creating this film. If you want to see it, pay for it. If you don't think it's worth it, move on.
I think it's pitiful that you are viewing these, let alone encouraging others to do it.
What's the difference between this and what Bernie Maddoff did?
A few decimal places. </div></div>
This is hardly theft nor illegal, unless I was profiting from this in some fashion. It’s no different than borrowing a person’s cds, dvds, or books.
It’s the same undefeatable argument, “the internet is killing journalism” more specific the newspapers. Programs like Napster and iTunes that have shifted to take into account the internet by making such things purchasable should be the standard. If you want to blame anyone, blame the production companies who have not caught up to the 21st century. Everyone should be able to buy a movie on“paperview” when it comes out in theaters only. Your home after all is more comfortable then a movie theater, at least I would hope so. What about select theaters only? Should I have to wait till it comes out on video if I’m not in the right location?
Not to mention alot of people might not have the opportunity to watch such a movie, IE medically impaired and what about our men and woman deployed? I remember watching these overseas CAM’s that is, circulated from guys doing watch at the Segovia rooms, internet centers, natives what have you, they are huge morale boosters. While you don’t agree with CAM’s that’s your opinion and that’s fine, but to outright show disgust and blindly judge the people who enjoys these things is a whole other issue.
I in no way condone people profiting from these things, and I’m sure they will be dealt with accordingly.
Btw fuck Bernie Maddoff...
