Well, are you? To be honest I am mighty tempted.

I saw Serenity multiple times when it was playing, and I am buying the DVD the day it comes out. But it is no longer playing within 4 hours of where I live and I know I would like to see it again in the next couple of months.

No one is certainly going to lose money because I download a copy before I buy it.

What do you all think?

Anything else, probably yes. Serenity, probably no.

First off, I've heard the copy floating around the net kind of sucks. And for some reason I just don't feel as casual about it as I do most TV shows I download (hey, I'm already paying for cable, I just can't be bothered to show up in front of the TV when they want me there).

A friend asked if I minded if he ripped my Firefly DVDs when he borrowed them and I said Yes, I did mind, and he asked five times if I was joking. Um, no. I almost didn't lend them to him.

I also don't think I could because a friend mentioned he had downloaded it, and I was personally offended. I would've taken him to the theatre if he would've said he wanted to see it.

I guess I just want Firefly/Serenity to do well.


ETA: That being said, I know I'm going to want to see it in the next few months as well, and I don't know what I'm going to do about that.

What do you mean Download it...download what?

You mean someone has Serenity to download?
Where?

I know someone put all the Firefly episodes in the Realplayer format, and they are available on the internet, but I never knew someone put Serenity online.

Where can i find this?

OK so here's how I rationalized it:

Paid to see movie multiple times + No longer showing in a theater near me + I'll buy multiple copies of the DVD + promise to self to buy a theater ticket (through Fandango) for every time I view it = download

Note: It's a poor quality tape with audience noises included. No way will anybody want this version once the DVDs come out...

I have seen the movie 5 times and will buy at least 2 copies of the dvd. Even if I were to download it because it's nowhere I can reasonalbly drive to at this point, and not saying I am going to download, they are not losing any money off me.
Also bought every bit of merchandise I could pay mu hands on.

The Centropy VCD torrent for Serenity now requires a password. Search for Centropy on mininova.org.

Ah, here we are justifying crime due to hard times and having "paid our dues".

Now... who does that sound like?

Heh

I very much like your manipulations, and am almost able to do this sort of thing myself. I need to know where the line lies in all of that, and have yet to see any information regarding use of FF/S images. Do you have a link or any info I can use to determine how far I will want to go down a road of using images. I'm not too tech oriented at baseline, so small word and gif to explain please.

Thanks

I've seen the BDM 6-7 times,
I think that that will tide me over until the DVDs come out
(are they really coming out Dec 20th?!)
