Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Yes! Promote Firefly by encouraging people to ripping it off, that'll make companies pay $10m to rebuild the sets and $2m an episode to produce more episodes.

There is the little fact of Firefly and Serenity retaining high rankings on Amazon DVDs for a very long time. No other show or movie has done that well for so long.

Firefly is today at 72. Not bad for a short lived series canceled 5 years ago.

Serenity is at 216. Not quite as well, but I expect people are waiting for the Special Edition to come out.

Compare Serenity to the top 10 grossing films of 2005

1. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (#121)
2. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (#586)
3. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (#477)
4. War of the Worlds (#425)
5. King Kong (#1,678)
6. Wedding Crashers (#804)
7. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (#3,190)
8. Batman Begins (#696)
9. Madagascar (#758)
10. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (#1,564)

Only 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith' beats Serenity in DVD sales, but is still ranked lower than the Firefly series set.

I think the Browncoat community is still doing a good job of supporting Firefly, Serenity and the 'verse.

Our universe is cool but Joss's verse is cooler.

Seriously, what's up with new people making their first post a rant about how moronic we are?

I guess I can just take comfort in the hundreds that walk in the door saying, "I love Firefly," instead of shoving their foot directly into their mouths.

Well, Joss is a Dead fan, and just like the band, I don't think he's really against bootlegging his stuff. He might not be exactly for it either, though. What I mean is that I don't think he wants anybody to get arrested over it, or piss the PTB off, but personally, I think he's for anything that might further the cause.

Even so, I won't steal from the BDH's either, and I wouldn't encourage others to.

I think cache has a point. A very good one at that. More movies are downloaded from torrents every day. I just got Serenity HD last week. The file was huge and took some time, however it took minutes to burn 12 copies. I sold 5 of them and gave the other 7 away to friends. Maybe they will buy FF, maybe not. As far as there being anything we can do to get new eps....nothing, never going to happen. So I steal it and spread the joy that is FF....And I make a couple bucks for my troubles......God I love Bit torrent!

You are a film distributor. You make money from selling your films.

You steal from the studios that make the films. They don't get a cut of what you make. Neither do the actors.

You are a thief and nothing you say changes that. If this behavior were the norm, NO films would be made.
