ILLEGAL DOWNLOADERS ARE THE GREATEST HEROES IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

Just wanted to point that out.

LOL, "hero" isnt a phrase I'd use. I will admit tho that to some extent I
suspect movie downloaders did have a hand in Studios deciding to release
DVD's at cheaper prices. The fact that many movies can be downloaded makes
it so the studios ask less in the hopes ppl will buy a copy instead of
stealing em.

Not so sure on either of those points. Iseem to recall when DVD's first came
out they were higher priced ($25-$30 or more for anything) whereas now adays
not uncommon to find New Releases for $19 or less. As for DL movies thats
gone on for some time as well so not sure when movies started being DL by
ppl if you include movies ppl divx'd. Like I said its just my opinon,
everyone has one hehe, and truthfully it really doesnt matter to me. I wasnt
saying whether it was good or bad, I'll let each person decide for
themselves.

Likewise, with the insane online coupons (because of the dot-com boom), you
could find recent release DVDs for around $5 with very little effort. There
were many cases where the cost of the DVD after the coupon would be $1-3 and
was less than shipping cost ($3-5).

You're an idiot. Piracy has cost the consumer more for each

You're full of shit. The posting history in this group alone proves
that there were no images even around for such downloads 5 years ago.

Wrong. I was getting them for $16.99 at the same store they are now
at $18.99 or more. Piracy raises costs, no matter how your retarded
ass wants to rationalize a pile of bullshit around your desire to
fucking break the law.

It is obvious that you are not sure. In fact, it is obvious that
you have no clue at all.

Do a google on DCSS, and when it hit the masses (via piracy). You
retards never cease to amaze me with your utter stupidity.

Dipshit. Movies were being ripped off by idiots smarter than you
even before divx crap came into being. That still never made it OK OR
right to do it.

You mean just your utter uninformed stupidity.

Yours smells like dead fish and shit.

Then stop spewing bullshit into this group about it.

Your attitude is easily observed.

Moron!!! I never said it was a good thing to do nor did I say I do it
because I don't so get of your frickin high horse. I do burn backups of all
my movies so I can keep the origonal pristine but thats a bit different from
stealing. I said something, not in defense of piracy, but because it had
been a suspicion of mine is all. You disagree and thats fine but do you have
to be a jerk about it? Go bitch at the theifs all you want, I never said it
was right, I merely said it was each persons decision because Im not
arrogant enough to tell others how to live. Each person must decide for
themselves and then face the consequences of their decision. Its not yours
or my right to order them to do what you think. Im also well aware of stuff
BEFORE DivX however divx and Xvid made it even more common I think. Again
knock off being an Ass, theres no call for it

Top posting Usenet retard. Your CRAP won't even get read if you
don't even have enough brains to know how to make a proper post in
Usenet. Trust me, asswipe... you are worse than your nym declares,
punk boy. dontbother@tde.com should get spammed out of existence.

You fucking retard! They way to keep an optical disc pristine is
to never touch the read surface at all. The way to do that is to make
sure it only sees two locations. Its storage container, and the tray
of the playback device.

Only idiots like you that place discs on flat surfaces have problems
with keeping your discs pristine. ALL of mine are, ALL of my laser
discs are, and some of them are twenty years old. In fact, I do not
own an optical disc that isn't is the same condition it was in when I
bought it, because I know the FIRST RULE! I don't need to waste my
time OR my money making "back ups" or spouting excuses for doing so.

If I had kids, they would learn the SAME RULES, or they would never
be allowed to handle my gear. The basic flaw with most people these
days is that they were not raised right. No excuses, boy!

Despite all your claimed "awareness", you still missed the fact (how
convenient for you) that you were 100% wrong about your claim that it
was happening 5 years ago, when it absofuckinglutely was not.

No, you are. I was merely makeing a personal comment/opinon. I never said it
was fact or anything else nor did I even say your comment was wrong either
as it wasnt something WORTH arguing over. It was never, as you so
incorrectly stated, a claim of fact by me but whatever.

If you had kids?? God forbid you ever breed!!! I have many family members &
friends with kids tho and when they come to visit we let the kids watch
movies so its my CHOICE that I'd rather let them handle copies instead of
the origonals. Also many disc's have forced trailers and such and its nice
to be able to put a copy in thats had all that junk removed so the Movie
starts right up as well. No one said anything about you wasting time or
money and other than sugesting you spend some for therapy I would never
presume to. Of course you do have time to waste being an ass in this
thread...have you considered needlepoint? I have the time AND the money and
I "CHOOSE" to do it, so what. I could bloody well care less about the
condition of YOUR discs, Laser or otherwise. You seem to have some sort of
inflated ego problem so let me help with a pin to burst your bubble...THE
WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.

Anyway you can go on bitching and acting like a petulant little girl all you
want. Go ahead and fing the "boy" comment like the monkey you are, I wish I
was that young these days, hehe Anyway Ive flushed better crap down the
toilet than whats coming out your lips. As for your other comment about Top
Posting. What you gonna do Mr self appointed inet policeman, write me a
ticket? Besides its not exactly top posting, I just felt the crap you spewed
wasnt deserving of being reposted. I left it all this time so now you don't
have to pout and stamp your feet like a spoiled brat, lil girly. Bye-Bye

I have abetter grasp of things than you ever will. That ranges from
things technological to things political, to things of a child rearing
nature. Not having kids doesn't mean I don't work with kids. I have
worked at Goodwill Industries training handicapped folks as well as at
more than one Boy Club of America.

It WAS EXACTLY top posting, dumbfuck. Clueless twits like you jump
on the non-conformist bandwagon every day. That still doesn't make
you right OR worth a shit. In fact, it does just the opposite.
Perhaps one day you will get that simple fact.

Well I do want to thank you for confirming my earlier assuption about you.
You are an arrogant self opionated child. I have already said more than once
it was an opinon and nothing more, others said I was wrong and I left it at
that. You said I was wrong and that should of been it, unless I had wanted
to argue the point with you which I didnt. You disagreed and then just
started being a putz.Come back when you grow up and learn to use words other
than explitives to try and prove your better than anyone else, especially
since your not. Save your vitriol for someone who's foolish enough to see
some value in the crap you spew as I don't and never will. If you had been
civil in your first response then all the crap since would not of happened.
You instigated it, I can only assume because for all you bluster of being an
expert no one else confirms it for you so you have to try and belittle
others here to feel worth something. Im tired of playing with you tho so
don't I hear your mommy calling cause its time to change your diapers. Nice
you left out the other part of the quote from my post & it definitly applies
to you.
