Freeloaders.

I hate thieves (our BDMs excluded, of course).

I can see downloading it when it wasn't available on DVD yet and was already out of the theaters. But now, it's out. There's no reason to steal it.

Grrrrrr.

i tend to believe illegal downloads tend to help less popular movies, like Serenity, more than hurt it. The more people that know about Serenity the better. The people downloading it probably wouldn't have bought it or even bothered watching the movie anyway and if they buy the DVD or tell someone else about the movie, then that's a win for us. We have an uphill battle on getting a sequel and we need all the help we can get. Now we just have to hope we can get a sequel before all the illegal downloaders are sued to the poor house or rotting in jail.

I think the best way to deal with this is posting a simple polite message under the torrents when you find them. maybe something like this. "If you want more episodes or films visit us at www.fireflyfans.net Of course if they visit here they will see how important it is to at least buy the film.

It is a conundrum, isn't it? We want as many people as possible to see our BDM, love it, and join the Browncoat army. Yet by downloading instead of buying, they're shorting out the one and only signal we have that means anything to the decision makers: the sales figures.

I'd like to think that Browncoats generally understand this and, if anything, go out of their way to purchase legally. Yet I have distributed copies of DVD #1 from the series as a means of getting friends and family members interested. (This has led to quite a few sales of the DVD set, by the way.)

Yet another paradox is that, hey, we're Browncoats, and that means it tickles us a bit to stick it to the purplebellies. And we all know the Big Entertainment Companies are all part of Blue Sun, right?

So I guess I'm of two minds on this one. More potential Browncoats: Yay! Less revenue counted toward Serenity's bottom line: Boo!

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Due to leeching I discovered Firefly and Serenity and since then I've bought every piece of Serenity/Firefly related merchendise I can afford.

I think it is a safe bet to say that anyone that is going to "get" the verse and become a Browncoat will not be satisfied with only the bootleg. They will get the fever just like the rest of us and buy anything and everything they can get their hands on. The people that bootleg and don't "get it". Well, they are sad, sad individuals and their kharma will get them.

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!

I'm not familiar with the torrent and downloading experience/culture, only what I hear - I don't get how these sites can exist - are they only temporary? Until MPAA etc., finds their host and shuts them down via the DMCA?

Well, there is not much we can do to stop these downloaders, at least nothing I know of right off hand. All we can do is hope they, like others have mentioned, like the BDM so much they go out & buy the DVD. That & tell LOTS of friends!
