The fact that Kick-Ass is the number 2 most pirated movie kinda makes me happy.
Makin' me proud, fellow geeks, makin' me proud.

This is hilarious. I bet James Cameron will release a new movie, entitled
"Fucking pirates stole my money!"
And have it consist of nothing more but him suing every single person who has ever pirated. Ever. With new, amazing CGI showing exactly how much Cameron ruins a teenagers life by suing him off of
100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000$
for downloading his movie once.
And if you pirate it, your computer will launch a razor sharp disc against your dick.
Seriously though, piracy is wrong. But what´s even more wrong is suing people for ridicolous amount of money for a relatively minor crime.

Please tell me if the following statement is true or false: I have documented, independently verifiable evidence that individual copyright violation rate has a causative relationship with sales of intellectual property products.Straying Bullet said:
You can explain but please answer true or false first.
The evidence presented in the article is that there is no correlation and that piracy rate is most closely related to "popularity" than any other factor. But if you have evidence to the contrary I would be happy to hear it.
Shouldn't most pirated have made less money? Hmm...
Oh I guess we should only look at DVD and BluRay sales, since that's where the "take home to watch it" part is, while in theater is it's own experience.

"20th Century Fox is reporting that Avatar a total of 3.2 million copies sold on Thursday, April 22 2010, its first day of release, with a breakdown estimation of 2 million DVD's and 1.2 million Blu-Ray copies sold. One thing to mention here is that the Blu-Ray version of the film represented 37% of the total number of copies sold on the first day of release, which is an extremely large percentage.
These figures easily set the record for single day sales of any movie following its release to the Home Video Market, as well as a historical record high for the Blu-Ray format."
Hmm... still sold the most ever. Interesting.

I maean, thats cool and all, but why the hell wouldnt you watch it in 3D? Its only worth watching in 3D
I have to be honest, I pirated Borderlands as there was no demo, and I didn't want to waste money on a game I couldn't get a refund for (Steam). After I tried it out I really liked it, so bought it. I guess a small (very, very small) way to help piracy might be to release more demos. People want to try out a game, torrent it, then they like it and have the full game so why buy it?doggie015 said:Maybe all the piracy is simply a "Try before you buy" thing!Wolfram01 said:
Or, alternatively, he doesn't give a shit because it still made 2 Billion at the box office and millions more on DVD\Blu-Ray.Martin Loake said:
Just a thought.
Well apparently pirates have as just as bad taste as movie audiences...yes, yes, I await the 'but Avatar was AWESOME' or 'you needed to view it this way' posts, bear in mind that this is just my opinion and I don't really care whether you liked the film or not.
