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.
This is the norm. The number of music and movie torrents downloaded is beyond belief. The music industry complained for years about pirating cutting their sales...just the opposite happened. Have you ever taped a song or movie from the radio or TV? Ever borrow a friends copy of a movie or CD? Sure you have you [MOD EDIT: Please refrain from personal attacks].....

Borrow, then return. Not copy. Not copy and sell. Borrow.

Well, Joss is a Dead fan, and just like the band, I don't think he's really against bootlegging his stuff.
Why don't you go ask him, then come back here and report his answer?
The man has a wife, and he has children who will need to go through college someday, and I assume he has a mortgage, and a powerful need to eat.

As far as the wrong approach, there is so much an organization of people can do against the movie and TV industry (that wont potentially land you in jail). Corporations make money from commercial advertisements, not from shows. Companies pay big $$$ for prime time spots, little $ for non-popular periods. You want to take money from a Fox/Universal? Form a huge organization and publically ban all products shown on those stations. As far fetched as that sounds, that is probably the most you could do to hurt them without getting arrested.
I love this idea, as a matter of fact I am going to do this. Starting today, I am going to make lists of companies that advertise on Fox and boycott them as best I can. Also, I will write a letter to each of the companies I am boycotting and inform them why I am doing this and that they should talk to Fox about bringing Firefly back on the airwaves. If Fox won't listen to the fans, perhaps the people bringing in the advertising dollars can change their minds. Of course, this won't work if it is just me so I encourge everyone to follow suit.
Thank Universal for airing Firefly in HD at

Dude... What are you ON?!?!!? That has GOT to be some freaky shit, right there...
You ain't been on this board for more'n one day. Read that again, ONE RUTTING DAY, and you THINK that you have the right to talk down to these folks?
I admit; I got on board as a Browncoat later on than most- a year or so back, by now. As such, I owe these here folks my addiction to Firefly- the best type of addiction, mind.
These folk have done the impossible- they took the Bull by the Horns and made it steer their way. I know not any other what's done that with so little; thirteen episodes, and they got a movie outta it.
So, don't go around tellin' US what we done wrong; it's a Helluva lot more'n yoou ever did.
You are stupid.
And not the good kind of stupid.
In short: 
-Danny
I wanna take the Bullet,
The one aimed straight for your Heart;
I wanna meet the wolves halfway,
And let them Tear me APART,
But that's not the way they do it here...
THRICE RULES!!!!!!!!!

Kaneman,
Why are you trying to generalize this topic and compare your "profit from theft" to non-quantitative sales figures related to internet downloads.
Stop trying to act like your some genius pirate and "poo" on anyone else who thinks that the normal avenue of purchasing media is as archaic as papyrus.
Fact is... most people probably know that these pirated channels exist. They just know that using them and promoting them MAY HAVE a detrimental effect on the show’s future success. (As related to Firefly and Firefly ONLY! Since u get upset when someone mentions things other than Firefly, not the music industry, etc.)
It is very true that the media and distribution companies need to get better at this game. Then again, they don't owe us anything for this particular show. Stop acting like it. Oh "Boo Hoo"... I'll show them, I am a genius pirate.
My buddy is a Mod on one of the largest "free music trading" sites. People like you are their worst enemy. Grab something free from the peer-to-peer network and sell it for profit. THE WORST! Threatens their very existence.
If u love the show as much as you have said in the past. Stop stealing from it. Is this what they taught you in Tunisia? I can handle the best of trolls, just don’t come on here and promote crime.
…and Causal,
They are prolly not “New”.

Wow, you admit to being a crook, then insult and call names at those who don't like it.
Class act.
