Suing p2p users will hardly make a dent in sharing. It will just make people hate you and want to boycott your movies. |

They can sue and sue all day long, they won't stop us from downloading the latest and greatest movies off the internet. Besides, if the movie is really good I usually go out and end up buying it. If it's a movie I will only end up watching once, I do not buy, and i'm happy I didn't buy it in the first place.
Screw u MPAA & RIAA

Re: Dag
Trouble for them is, unlike music is that I can go rent a DVD for a couple of days, rip it and then pass it on that way.
No download, no IP indicator, no problem, it makes pirated movies potentially a bigger loser for the industry, if you know where to go.
Whereas music is portable as an MP3, it will be a long time before a movie is so easily obtained.
I wanna see the development of downloadable movies and music that cuts the costs out for distribution, staff, premises etc. and so is passed on for a reasonable fee.
However the effect of the MPAA action will do something to stem the tide, much like King Canute.

| Please dont follow the RIAA
I for one hope the MPAA does not follow the RIAA by doing this. I have been boycotting the purchase of CDs for sometime now, and I would hate to do the same to DVDs and the like. I have a dvd (legit) collection of over 300 movies, and add to that collection on a regular basis. But if the MPAA starts doing the same things as the RIAA I feel I would have no choice but to boycott them as well.
Please MPAA, realize that the RIAA does more harm than good when they go after the person they rely on to purchase their goods. I understand the need to protect what they own, but the RIAA tactics go to far with little gained in the end. |

Re: Hmmm...
I had some respect to MPAA, except for their fair-use violations.
I download and I will download TV Shows, only because my VCR is broken and I don't have TiVo.
I don't buy DVDs, I borrow them. I still pay those damned $9.50 for the movie in the cinema.
If MPAA starts suing people, goodbye to all of the above.

Hypothetical situation, you have Digital Cable(or Satellite), you also have one of these... »www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp···=product
What is the freakin difference between RECORDING a DVD with one of the MANY DVD recorders from your Digital Cable(or Satellite), and downloading the same movie from the web?
Oh yeah, The one that you download is most likely a crappier quality DivX/XVID/AVI!!! *DUH!*
So why do they care if a rip is shared & downloaded? |

And don't use a copyrighted TV and Movie animated character as your Avatar on BBR either.
SPECIFIC EXAMPLE: Do you have a letter of permission from Mike Judge and MTV to use Bevis's likeness and mannerisms in your avatar? If you don't, you are no better than those you seek to label as music, movie and software thieves as you are violating an established copyright just like the people you are 'against' are claimed to have or are doing.
This Avatar is illegal using your way of thinking:
Do you feel that EVERYONE here on BBR who is using a copyrighted image or likeness of something in or as their avatar is as guilty as the person who pirates the latest movie, album or CD??
People fail to look past their own shallow morals (or lack of morals) when rushing to condemn others for what they themselves do and think is no problem.... |

|  It's going to happen sooner or later
While I have no sympathy for the RIAA, I can see the MPAA's side of things. Production costs are infinitely higher than that of a CD, prices aren't much higher, and aren't DVD sales less than that of music CDs?
Aside from that, the MPAA clearly seems to have avoided being heavy-handed with their customer base like the RIAA, but with the bandwidth wars showing 6mbit becoming commonplace in the near future, the problem certainly isn't going away.
While I think fair use should still allow for unbridled personal copies, I can't fault the MPAA for policing piracy. It's the smart thing to do, looking at it from their perspective. This is totally different from what the RIAA is doing, and I think the MPAA is being very reasonable.
Before you flame me, I am an avid P2P user. I see our side of it too |

Re: Dag
My use of this avatar has not cost Mike Judge or MTV money. And if they begin selling avatars, I will gladly pay them a fee. I think we need to keep things in perspective.
On the other hand, the pirating and sharing of movies costs the industry billions of dollars.
Go ahead... continue down this path and fight for it as if you are entitled to copy movies and share them... and in the end, these industries will crumble...
Congratulations... you win.
