Hi guys,

First I'd like to say that I am totally against illegal downloads, but anyways a friend of mine found big proof that serenity is one of the most wanted movies out there.

http://www.mininova.org/sub/1/leech

Notice that serenity is the second most wanted movie as you can see on this torrent movie download site. The number of "leechers" which are the number of people who are downloading the file is the second biggest in the list thus proving that serenity is more wanted than many other blockbusters like Peter Jackson's King Kong, Aeon flux and the brothers Grimm.

It sure would be better if all of these people downloading serenity would spend some extra bucks buying the dvd, but this still proves serenity is one of the most prefered flicks out there..

Peace browncoats!

Too bad we can't round up a posse of Browncoats and educate the "leechers" on the error of their ways!

I'm not sure whether to kill these people or force them to buy a DVD at gunpoint thus leaving them alive to spread the word and go to theaters in the event of a Sequel.

Can't we do both. Make them buy the DVD, make them make teir friends buy the DVD and then shoot them. 'Course we won't TELL them we are gonna shoot them...........that not being a good idea.

Well then it might be hard to get their friends to tell their friends.

Also if word gets around the ones we get to later will know what's coming ... unless we could get them all at once.

Well, before we bash DLing illegal stuff too much - I did convert a friend who was willing to watch ripped stuff. He thought it was so amazing he went out and bought the DVDs. And the way I got into BSG was by watching DLed episodes, but I now own the Series on DVD.

Maybe they'll be moved to go out and purchse it too.

That's what I hope happens, the problem is that some people download things that they would have bought. It's a simple equation really, if more people buy it because they downloaded it than download it instead of buying it this is good for us, if it is the other way around it's bad. I doubt anyone has the figures though.

Well if you downloaded the ones that were taped off of TV I think, although I am in no way certain, that that was in fact legal due to a kink in the law.

I got into it when it was on TV but didn't tape it, so I downloaded it as well (I didn't even know whether DVDs were coming.) It was shortly after that that I was informed by a usually reliable and knowledgeable person that what I did was not in fact illegal.

I also viewed the unaired episodes that way, which I'm pretty sure was illegal no matter what.

I bought the DVDs when they came out anyway.

I hope so. The thing that bugs me is that I know people will download it, love it, and then not buy it. I don't know what percent, but it still bugs me.

When i first saw Serenity it was in the cinema didnt think much about it after that then a friend did download it, i know, i know naughty yes, and give me a copy but that actually made me go out and buy the proper thing because one i wanted the DVD extras and two its just too good to have as a copy.
