Not you - the first poster... mea culpa on both accounts as maybe we did jump to conclusions a little.

Exactly - let's for one moment pretend that every Browncoat that clicks the link would see the movie the same number of times they would if they didn't. Just for funnin's sake.

The real threat is Googlewhack Boy and Warez Gurl going to the link, downloading it and not seeing the movie - the pirates that sell the movie to people who decided not to watch the movie on the big screen.

umm....from what i understand, the movie is in post-production. this isn't a tv episode we're talkin' about.
i'm thinking what the actors would have would be something that has no effects or music and would possibly even have time code in the picture.
something that could be used on a demo reel maybe. and that's a BIG maybe.
this flick *just* finished shooting. because of the fx alone it will take many months. there may even be re-shoots, etc.
if someone's talking about they have a "completed movie", they're pretty much talkin' bulls***.

By the way, I wouldn't download the flick.
And I wouldn't want to see it on my computer monitor, either.
It's the BIG SCREEN for me.

And I look down on anyone who thinks it's a good idea.

Interesting. I imagine the fans of the stuff you (as in "in general," not specifically TheGreyJedi) download might feel the same way you do about people downloading Serenity.

Personally, downloading it and having even the best-quality-movie-file-ever on my computer wouldn't cause me to spend any less on going to see it than I already intend to spend. After all, my tiny monitor isn't nearly as wide as the theater's screen, nor are my speakers as good as their sound system.

I don't care how big the movie is...

its just the nature of the way things are...nothing wrong with it!!

Well, most of the stuff I download is fansubs, anime that is translated and subtitled by fans, of anime shows that either aren't going to be or haven't yet been released in the US. Or, in the case of the Inu Yasha episodes I have, the series has been released, but not the episodes I have. Once I purchase the dvd's, I delete the episodes from my computer. But I don't think there's anyone as rabid as us Firefly fans.

Allright, you all seem to be missing something about information piracy, so i'll explain. Downloading a movie is not at all analgous to picking Jewel's purse. It is more analgous to overhearing a conversation, then repeating it. It's someone else's, but it's not hurting them directly when you take it. We're talking about the loss of something, vs the loss of a POTENTIAL sale of something. There's a big difference.

Bye now.

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?







In all honesty, I would click the link and watch the movie. I'll argue my justification for it, but not here. We don't need yet another emotional argument on this board.

I'd say your analogy is seriously flawed. Overheard conversations do not have access fees attached to them, and no one expects them to.

A much closer, and more accurate, analogy would be this: It's as if, rather than paying a ticket to hear a lecture by an author, I snuck in the back way, listened to the speech for free, and made a tape recording which I then took home with me.

By pointing this out, I am not saying whether not I am on the side of the pirates; that's a debate I choose not to get into. I merely suggest that if you're going to use an analogy, you should use one that holds up to logical analysis -- as yours does not.
