- people like you are stupid for paying as much as you do to see a movie and then complain about it.
seriously. save your money and just download that stuff if you don't like movie theater ticket prices.Megacharge and omega supreme like this.12-06-11 12:31 AMLike 2 -
- This capability is still a big mystery for me. I think it happens only in Spielberg movies. Here in Europe, there are no possibilities. Amazon only offers videos on their .com site, no other and download only in the US. The zmovie is horrible to use and the streaming is interrupted all the time. I don't mind to pay at all, but it would be nice to be able to download some videos from somewhere.12-06-11 01:33 AMLike 0

- Always find it interesting how people would not walk into a shop and walk out with a film without paying yet are quite happy to rip it onto the computer.
Not that it bothers me in anyway as I don't think it has the effect on the industry people say it does. I for one have had plenty of pirated music / films in the past but most are ones that I wouldn't have purchased otherwise for simply being too expensive.

Why did we BUY our PB's? Do you know how much money RIM has ? Why not just steal it? I got mine at Best Buy. I'm sure they have plenty of money as well.
Those of us as "stupid" as me will continue to pay and feel good about. If any of you knew an artist your opinion may change. This issue directly affects my life. On a smaller scale then the big movie companies or record labels but the problem is the same.
I surprised crackberry allows talk of media theft. I guess the problem is so widespread that it creates apathy.mrbjr likes this.12-06-11 09:00 AMLike 1 - Crackle.com is legit and not bootlegging. The videos have commercials.
As for downloading movies and TV and MP3's... I am in the middle of support and giving the middle finger to the man which is Hollywood and Mega Corp TV and Cable that monopolizes.
I buy Records, CD's, Pay for Netflix, Go see films in the theater if they are good films and go to concerts and events all in effort to support the artists -- I prob spend more money than most on these things. At the same time I download like a MF...
I find that by downloading, I hone in on the good artists and discover new things otherwise I wouldn't be exposed to. Once I like a director or actor or musical artist, I then look out for upcoming releases, buy the record or CD, go see the new film during the film fest....
Downloading and the internet actually helps many of the smaller artists get exposure and free advertising by word of mouth.

There are plenty of legit ways of previewing music and video. It doesn't have to be stolen. Alot of these sites are using the napster defense. "we don't host just provide links"
If your watching just released movies on your PB then your stealing.12-06-11 10:42 AMLike 0 - I guess it depends on each moderators definition of personal attacks and illegal activity.

It dosent depend on a moderators liking or dislike of a thread and what merits a close or gets to be left open. However not all moderators act in the same fashion, but they should.
I am not going to do their job, but asking them to close this thread as it merits no further discussion. As a bottom line, most open forums, the good ones, have very strict policies regarding discussion of torrents, pirated stuff... guessing thats how it works here at CB also.12-06-11 11:25 AMLike 0 - I think it would be good to have a conversation about legal avenues of download/streaming but it always goes the way of the thieves.
I have seen other threads get closed minutes after the mention of some sites or name calling. I assume it's the guidelines you speak of. This one for some reason remains. In my years of CB and other forums have never reported a post or person until yesterday. Got no response. Thats why I thought it depends on who is captain of the ship at the time.
I had a post removed once after suggesting someone work on their reading comprehension after a failed attempt at trolling.
I should have kept my fingers to myself from the beginning.12-06-11 11:56 AMLike 0 - I think it would be good to have a conversation about legal avenues of download/streaming but it always goes the way of the thieves.

Agreed, that some threads gets closed way earlier, some gets moved to obscurity, while some as this one remains open......
I get that either there aren't enough or currently moderators online, or this is one of those threads that will keep going on and on ..... falling through the loopholes of moderation.12-06-11 12:40 PMLike 0
