was chatting to some work mates the other about tv shows and as i do as often as i can i brought up the o so great firefly/BDM...and most never heard of it bar one guy whos said ya it was ok...
and i thought oo kool a fellow browncoat...
he then went and said ya i downloaded the whole season off a torrent just got the movie the other day too. then goes to tell the others were to find the torrents to download them from..
my jaw was hitting the floor... i tryed to tell him the errors of his way and how they dont cost the earth to buy and realy it was such a great show that you should support he wasnt having any of it he was just like huh why pay for it when i can get it for free...
it was no hope
i went searching on the net and was scared how many firefly torrents there were for downloads i just couldnt belive it :(....
so i came up with this idea..
i was going a few torrents of my on some time soon.
so was wanting to ask my fellow browncoats here what i said but in them torrents.
now i dont want any thing like virius or things to cause too much damage
what i was thinking was maybe
about 1g of gay porn? or
loads of spyware programs or
a exe when once open it makes this firefly.net the homepage and opens a link to amamzon page showing firefly season 1?
it have to be large due to has to look like the real thing... not sure how many i will make but i want to make it so
people think twice about downloading firefly torrents incase they are buged 
now the whole issue of torrents i know is odd some peeps for other against.
and hear me on this i have used torrents before to get to see shows that on usa but not shown over here yet. but once they do come to these shores i do watch them again and most times end up buying the dvd boxsets ie battlestar galactica.
and if thinking of getting a box set dvd(which are not cheap) will download poilet episode to see if its any good then buy...
but if my workmate done it i am sure there are tones of peeps who have 2.
and with the sales numbers for the BDM how many have done this instead of getting the dvd
makes me feel sad inside....

Well, while I understand and agree with the fact that it's vital to increase the sales of both BDM and BDS in order to still hope for a sequel I have to say this: I'm in Italy and Firefly has never been shown here (only on pay per view channels last springtime) on public television. I've become a Browncoat on October 2005. Was curious about the show mostly because I was interested in Adam Baldwin. Found some torrents and downloaded the eps, fell in love with the show and immediately bought the DVD Box set from Amazon UK. Then I bought the BDM, comics and books...
Haven't had the opportunity to watch the show from Internet in first place I would have probably never seen the show yet! It's true. I would have never risked to buy an entire series on DVD without knowing if it was worth for in advance.
Sometimes torrents can be a useful way to promote movies or shows, and a true follower always ends up buying the originals anyway.

that is true but i still cant belive peeps would download whole season ... understand maybe only doing one episode to see if its ok..
hench i am only going to make a torrent for flim and whole season..
and getting a torrent just for the flim is a crime its only about 9 pounds in uk at mo!
and the dvd box set can be found for around 15 pounds

@Ayrad:
I'm along the same lines as well. Not that I downloaded the series or movie (bought and christmas respectively), but I have bought more than just a few things by first finding them on the torrents.
@IrishBrowncoat:
And what do you think the prison sentence is for planting spyware/trogans/etc on someones computer? People are going to jail for that you know.

I am not sure what a torrent is IrishBrowncoat, but it sounds illegal. Instead of attacking them, you may want to report them to Fox. Fox owns the rights and I'm sure they would want to stop them as much as you do. After all it is Fox who they are stealing from. Of course this may get you friends in trouble if Fox learns who downloaded them. But attacking them could cause you trouble. I understand your anger. I bought mine, fair and legal. And if I were to download a movie it would be through a legitimate website. In that case, I'm sure there would be a fee. So don't do anything rash that might bite you in the ass. Stay within the law and use it to support your cause.

I kick my self daily because I’m guilty of downloading the movie and the series. I didn’t download them out of blatant disregard for the law or the creators or anything though. Unfortunately I was unable to work and therefore earn the money to buy them because I was going through a deep, deep depression and I didn’t leave the house for like a year and everything and watching the TV and listening to music was like a coping mechanism. I’m not making any excuses I’m just explaining the situation, it was wrong to download but for me it really, really led to a great thing! I absolutely fell in love with BDM and BDS hook, like and singer and they really helped me out. Anyways as soon as I was able to work again I immediately bought the BDM and BDS on DVD. I have also bought the comic and part one of the visual companion for the series and part two is pre ordered and I also got the one for the movie! I even went as far as buying and selling the series on DVD and one day I hope to open my own kinda memorabilia retail store for Sci Fi shows and movies! So really those torrents lead me to love the show, lead me to feel better and ultimately I have shown my support for Whendon’s genius and will continue to do so. I can’t wait for the other comics to come out! The way I see it is that it doesn’t matter what brought me to Firefly/Serenity its just that I was brought to it!

That could bring up the whole Napster thing again.

Wow IrishBrowncoat! After reading some of Wikipepia on torrents I know why I didn't get into that line of work. Way over my head.
I can see trying to disrupt one torrent is not going to put a dent in the volume of others that must exist.
I just hope that as people discover what Firefly is and what it means to be a Browncoat they use legal ways of obtaining the show and movie.
I see your anger when someone who has the money uses this method. Sad to say there will always be people like them. But for every person like that there is a person, who, in their heart are Browncoats, even if they have not seen the show. There are people who do the right thing. And for them we have this fansite so they can discover they are not alone.
