No, Tash, no I would not. I wouldn't even be tempted. I've downloaded a few movies. These were mostly movies I don't have access to around here, and even then with the intention of buying a DVD version of the movie as soon as I can. But I would NEVER download a movie that hadn't even been released yet, much less one as important to me as Serenity.

GreyJ, you know you want to! Are you afraid of getting caught?
We will pay to see Serenity in the theater multiple times. What's the harm in clicking the Magic Link to get a sneak peek?

I wouldn't be able to resist. Especially living in Aus, where I don't know when the heck the movie will even be here. That's not to say I wouldn't see it multiple times when it did come out and buy the DVD when that comes out.
But to have the opportunity to see it now...can I get a HELL YES.

Tash, see, I share my bandwidth. I share my music and video files(mostly anime fansubs). I have and share pirated software. But Serenity is far, far too important to sully with those activities. I will see it at the Big Damn Premiere for the first time. I will see it at least a dozen times in theatres those first two weeks. I will not download a copy of it ever. And I look down on anyone who thinks it's a good idea.
Real fans wait.

No, I wouldn't download a bootleg copy of "Serenity". Why? It would be crappy quality and I want to experience it for the first time in all it's glory on the big screen. Not only that...I want it to be a success and make every penny it can. I would feel like I was taking money out of the pockets of all involved in the Firefly "verse". Sorry, but that really goes against the grain for me. "Serenity" deserves every chance and I want to see it get that chance. I respect Joss and his passion for this vision and I want it to be a great success. We need some positive energy, not its "fans" taking the wind out of its sails. All good things come to those who wait...I can't believe how impatient people are!

No way in hell did GL go through what Joss did. GL pays his own money to make the films yes, but that's because he knows it has an established audience, and even though most people hate him nowadays, people will always shell out cash to see anything with star wars in the title. You are comparing hitler to lincoln here, it doesn't work.

LOL We don't need any slogans yet. There is no boolegged copy so it's not like the people who said they would watch are watching.
Everyone has to wait, so I guess we're all real fans. 
Seriously though, I understand both sides of the arguement...so,whatever.

i got a question for all of the folks willing to watch the film early via bootleg or whatever. you know.. Joss, Nathan, Adam, Jewel, alot of the cast and crew are availible to us like many other tv shows/movies just don't have.. You could probably meet them someday you know? And when you're standing there with the captain face to face, eye to eye, tightpants to not-so-tightpants.. could you tell them you saw the movie bootlegged? could you say, nathan, joss, adam, whoever.. i downloaded the film and watched it 2 months before it was out (or whatever) and it was just amazing..
could you really do that??
you think that's a compliment??
being a recording artist myself, if someone got ahold of my music before it was released even if they planned to buy it on the release date, I'd still have no respect for them. that's my art man.. and to me, that's not a fan at all.

I would have to admit that I would be sorely tempted to watch a bootleg if it were made available 'Tash, but I would not watch it. I would probably behave like a crack addict going through withdrawl knowing the BDM (in some form or another) was just a click away, but I would not do it.
Sure we can all say that we would watch the bootleg, then still go out and see the movie a dozen times or so, and I do not doubt any Browncoat who says so, but by posting a link to a bootleg we are causing a problem. That problem of course is making the illegal copy of the film more readily available to those that will watch the film for free, and not go to the theatre to watch it.
Casual fans and others will take the freebie and run with it, opting not to spend their money at the box office and thereby shorting sales figures. Will those people's lack of attendance really hurt the numbers for the BDM? Who can say, but I for one am not willing to take that chance. I would much rather have those people going to the theatre to see the film and adding their numbers to our own.
