| JaggedSac said: As long as there are pirated copies of movies being made, you can expect DRM. Average estimated loss to the movie industry is in the billions per year. If it was my product, and I needed funding for my next movie, I would not want my shit stolen. Renting and burning is also a problem. If you think that renting and burning is alright, you are an immoral person. |
Seriously, just stop acting like you are taking the moral high ground. Movie studios equate "loyalty" as a prisoner would equate "dropping the soap" in the shower.
You know what I do with some of the money (thousands of dollars) I don't spend on movies? I donate it to an organization which helps Chinese orphans every year. So it looks like you are the terrible person now. Being a slave is good for no one.
And watching a movie in theaters helps the actors and directors moreso than buying the DVD. Otherwise you are just lining the movie studios pockets.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
