TerrifyingSpaceMonkey,

You didn't 'rub me the wrong way' and I hope I didn't 'rub you the wrong way'. I just felt your comments were unnecessary and felt strongly enough to tell you my opinion. I think sometimes it's important to take a step back and try to understand where the other person is coming from, though that doesn't mean you have to agree with them. Anger is never a good emotion on which to base a reaction.

I see Serenityfan2004's first post as a fan who desperately wants to see the movie and just didn't think through the consequences of their comments, rather than someone encouraging people to steal from Joss. We all make mistakes and feel bad about them afterwards. I know I have made a few in my time, including on this board. Thankfully my apologies have been accepted and I have continued to be friends with the people involved. I believe in treating others how I hope to be treated. If you had just messed up how would you want to be treated?

At the end of the day Serenity is just a movie (granted it will be the greatest of all time) but Serenityfan2004 is a real person. I don't see the point in continuing to make someone feel bad. Life is generally crappy enough as it is. I guess this is something on which we will have to agree to disagree. (Though I do agree with your point that it is a good idea for new people to lurk a while and check out how a board works)

yep, same songs too, passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth because the ability to profitably record will be destroyed.

Wren,

Oh gosh no! You didn't rub me the wrong way either... I completely understand where you are coming from.

Hey guys, perhaps this is enough? I think SerenityFan2004 certainly knows our views on the matter and has probably been admonished by now.

Yeah, actually, I think if you re-read the last several comments (except BROWNCOATFAN1's) you will find that this concern has already been raised and acknowledged, and that further admonishment has ceased.

Continuing to bring it up will only perpetuate the matter.

Thanks, though!

Untrue. There will ALWAYS be a segment of the population that would prefer to buy a factory produced CD then to download and burn one themselves. They may do so because it's easier or they don't have the knowledge to do it, they may do it because their time locating the songs is worth more than the price of the CD. They may even do it just because they like the artist and want to support them or own the factory liner notes. No matter what, sales will still be made.

Also, artists will continue to record and distribute because they want to get well known enough to be able to make money performing live.

As for recording being expensive, home equipment is getting better and better. It won't be long before a guy with 1000 bucks and a home computer can turn a spare bedroom into a sound studio and get near-professional quality.

The only losers in the music downloading game are the labels. Who the hell cares about them?

I can only hope that turns out to be true.. But so far, I haven't seen it. I hate the fact that I have to look for some label to get my music out there, but for now, I see no other alternative. Marketing your product independently is insanely expensive and a big risk financially if you’re new to the game.

You know... I was having a wee glance up the page... some of your posts were a bit... well, seemed to be written with the intent of condemnation .

Point taken, though.

Don't go visiting my intentions. Not ever.

Also, it's "bugger" . You'll be a jerk to me and I'll be a pedant to you .
