Sorry for being THAT person, buutttt I think there are more important issues out there to rally up against instead of boo-hooing about how your big boy allowance is decreasing by some whatever percentage. Just saying!

That reminds of this episode of South Park: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s07e09-christian-rock-hard

I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM! I have canceled my cable and I rarely see movies at the theatre. I rent from Netflix and Redbox and I watch “TV” on Netflix and Hulu.  Basically, I canceled my cable since I was more interested in Youtube and other entertainment and didn’t use it so much. Since I’m exposed to fewer ads, I don’t drool over the trailers to films for 3 months before they are released.

First of all, the people who sell bootleg movies on the Streets of NYC are all old Asian ladies…

“You’re what’s wrong with everything.” Ha!

If it wasn’t for illegal downloads , nobody would have ever found out how incredibly bad Nicholas Cage is as an actor… Did anyone really pay to see Ghost Rider or Wicker Man?
Art is worth our time and money. Cheap green screen effects and shorter movie cuts, to avoid actors having to learn more than 2 lines at a time…not so much

I work in the film industry and even I don’t take this shit seriously.

I’m not okay with stealing…but to assume that anyone who downloads a movie would have been a someone that would have FOR SURE purchased a ticket is insane. It’s not money lost if the person was never going to buy a ticket in the first place. It is still wrong however. If a company makes mediocre burritos you can’t justify stealing the burrito by saying, “if they would make a burrito actually worth buying I wouldn’t steal these burritos…but since they are only mediocre I will steal them.” mmmmm, burritos. Also, if you are too poor to go to the movies then should you really have a high speed internet connection and computer capable of downloading and playing pirated material? Watching movies is not a right…it’s a privilege to those who earn enough money.

maybe if hollywood made a movie worth the $15 ticket I’d be willing to pay for it. maybe they could stop paying actors 100000000 times what they pay the crew. and maybe, just maybe, one day doves will shoot right out my ass

When your broke, you’re either gonna download illegally or not watch it at all. Nothing gained, nothing lost :P

at least he’s wearing a cool, non-distracting hat

you’re what’s wrong with everything…lol

When the movie industry is not raking in billions in profit anymore, then they can complain to me about pirates and maybe I’ll listen. But as long as they shellac their customers for $20 bucks a pop just for tickets, they and their anti-piracy whining can fuck right off.

Better PSa than the earlier ones. At least it addresses the issues rather than threatening an FBI visit to your bedroom. Not going to stop piracy though.

I’M EVERYTHING THAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD!

Yes the financial repercussions are huge. For example: Transformers, the movie, had a budget of $150 MILLION and brought in $709,709,780. They could have easily made $10 million more from all those sales! Oh wait. Go fuck yourselves.

Silly, Pappas, ladies can’t hold a boom mike!

yeah, ok…a solution to that is…not paying actors millions of dollars for making shitty movies. Pay the crew equal amount.
problems solved

Except no. Nope.

Yeah, Hollywood will fire the union boom op but not the 800 marketing people making trailers to go on your iphone. I’m gonna go buy some bootlegs RIGHT NOW just to vent my rage at this silly premise.
