While I haven't admitted that I would click a link to a bootlegged Serenity movie (because I woudn't want to, but am not sure I could control myself), I would never post a link to it. Those who do are the real pirates. 
Like drug dealers, I think their crime is far worse than those who might partake in what is offered.
BTW, whoever started this topic hasn't replied yet, so I think we can assume that he's prolly a troll. Or a plant trying to see how loyal the fans are. If that's the case... well, of course I'd never download it! Sheesh. 
Oh, and play Strange Adventures in Infinite Space. http://digital-eel.com/sais

I've been trying to think of a scenario where I could justify watching a bootlegged copy of the BDM, and for me, personally, I just couldn't click that link. But that's because I live in the US where we know the release date. The decision would be much harder if I lived in a country that might not get Serenity until the end of summer - well after Serenity's success was established (at least for the domestic US run).
I've seen a post (too lazy to track it down) from someone who was trying to get together money to fly to the US for the opening. That's a lot of money that could instead by spent on going to see the movie when it comes out. So if that person needs a little pick me up while waiting, I got no problem with that.
The big fear is that the presence of a bootleg version of Serenity will take money away from the box office totals. This is the only scenario I could come up with where that might not be the case.
I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!

OK,
Silly question time for those who may be more familiar with these things.
first: What can we as fans do to encourage Universal to make this a global release on April ,22 2005? I know how much it sucks to know others are getting the chance to do something you can't because of where you live. Marillion rarely tour the US and even more rarely the SouthEast US. I get to see them Oct 7th in DC,I last saw them in '89. Brits and others in Europe can see them a lot more often.
Second: Seeing as all this Pirating and downloading is illegal, what can we do if we see people offering downloads? I know some would like to download it, I'd rather send the person a virus and slag their whole gorram system, or notify the authorities and have the Feds knock on their door.
I agree with the poster who said if you see anyone with a camera, break it. And if during the film people talk in the theatre, just turn to them and remind them "....the Special Hell" or shoot 'em ......politely.
Oh and I had a similar thought to Wydraz about an hour after my first time reading this thread. "That was probably Joss, just checking reactions." oh well, hope most of us passed.

But let's be realistic. If someone posted a legitimate link to a 900 MB screener DVD rip, 3 months before the release date-- WOULDN'T YOU CLICK THE LINK? Damn. How tempting is that?
If it meant there'd be at least one less time that I'd pay to see Joss' greatness on screen? Never! I want Joss, in all his glory, to get every penny I'm willing to ship out for his profit and my entertainment.
Besides. . . . I'm an artist. . . . I don't believe in illegal downloads. . . .

They're done shooting, but it now needs to be edited, have special effects done, music recorded and plenty more. The finished film won't be completed for months.
The actual filming is just a small part of a movie, especially a science fiction movie with special effects and cgi.
I agree with JohnQPublic on this.
Also though, if the finished movie were to fall into my lap, I can't say I wouldn't watch it. But in my defense, I'd also go see the movie in theatres many times too, and bring others with me.

If I didnt download and watch the bootleg Firefly episodes from the net then I wouldnt even know how good it is(its never been aired in Australia). I wouldnt even know of the upcoming movie.
I still bought the DVD box set IMMEDIATELY when it was released years after i'd fallen in love with the show.
I'll still see the BDM multiple times in the theatre regardless whether i've d/loaded it from the internet or not.

You BLASPHEMER! INFIDEL!! This isn't an ordinary movie! To search for, nay, to even WANT a pirated, illegal copy of Serenity BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT is prepostorous! Are you crazy or just stupid?! This is the BIG DAMN MOVIE!!! To want an illegal copy like that is disrespectful!
well I would take a bootleg pirated copy if I could get my hands on one..and I don't see anything disrespectful or wrong for doing so....
I don't care how big the movie is...
its just the nature of the way things are...nothing wrong with it!!

wow, can't say i have any respect for you as a human. but i doubt you'll lose any sleep for it. I hope you do end up meeting joss and crew someday. please let them know how you feel to thier faces. But I guess if you are the kind of person who can say what you just did, you probably don't care much about the show, the movie, or any of this at all. nature my ass.

Glad to see you are still around SerenityFan2004.
I am a bit curious though as to why you responded to this thread under another name. Which name was it?
I am sure that you can understand that we as Browncoats are protective of this movie and the future of Serenity. It is imperative that we dissuade any and all fans from perpetuating the piracy of the movie to help insure it's success. Anyone truly interested in seeing it will spend the money to go to the theatre at least during a matinee.
The biggest problem w/ the internet is its greatest attribute; information is too accessible and will quickly be linked to a dozen sites and downloaded by hundred or even thousands. When you figure that into ticket sales, it could easily cause the box office sales to drop to an unacceptable level, causing Universal to shelve the idea of two more movies.
Count me in the half that would not click the link. I may be tempted (I would be less than honest if I said I would not be), but I would not do anything to harm the chances of the movie being a success.
"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
