People That Download Movies


Recommended Posts

Well, It depends, I have read a few cases of people getting caught by Warner Bros. The companies are getting smarter, they post fake torrents on popular torrent sites. TorrentSpy for example, has alot of these fake torrents that are just traps for people to fall into. If you downloaded from one of these torrents you're as good as dead =P.

You are far safer using newsgroups to download movies, etc. than using P2P applications. News servers don't track what you download, only what you upload (and some don't even track that). Generally only the uploaders are subject to getting caught.

The thing you have to ask yourself is that knowing that there is even the slightest possibility that you might get caught and subsequently have to go to prison or pay a huge fine or both, is it worth it? Yeah, sure, "everyone" does it and out of "everyone" a small minority get nailed for it, but, I guarantee you that every one of those that do get nailed for it will tell you that it's just not worth the hell your life will be if you fall into that minority. So, is it worth it to risk everything you own, your friends, your family, career, etc. just to download a movie?

I believe I am God, so that gives me the right to download movies. Everyone else, however, should pay.

They are cracking down on movies, just like music a year ago. If you use an open torrent site, you're more likely to get caught. However, I personally use a private torrent site + ftp, so I'm less at risk. I don't steal from MPAA though. I'm basically ripping Blockbuster off, because I download a movie, watch it and then delete it.

i dunt need to dl movies, i get them free to rent from blockbuster, pays to have family who run a store, so i get free rentals, but music on the other hand is baddd... dont dl moveis movies more likly to get u busted anyhow, music they usually make u either pay a fine, or warn you, ive gotten 2 warnings so i stopped dlin music till like next month lol

Didn't realise that Warner brothers made Lesbian porno.

They aint interested in people that download the odd thing, they are only interested in people that run hubs and allow files to be downloaded from them 24/7/365 etc...

No-one is doing 'Bird' for 2 years for downloading 1 poxy film.

i dont download movies often, maybe once every few months, but I always go to the movies theathers to watch movies, like once a week or so, i have a collection of tickets of all the movies ive seen... if i saved those 7 - 10 dollars wow ill have a very big sum now :)

and this is funny, the other day my friend had an accident (not funny) and the cop said he downloads from limewire, and he said do you know thats illegal and the cop said he didnt know lol

The sentence wasn't for downloading, it was for his choice in movies!

:rofl: I have downloaded movies before, because where I live there is not really a theater close by and it does not ever play independent films....If I like the movie I will buy the dvd though....I never keep the downloaded copy and toss it after one view..I know I know it is illegal. But for some movies there is no other way I will be able to watch it unless it is a year later on dvd :pinch: I wish there was on online site that you could watch movies still in the theater...but you know crazy people who want to get something for free would crack it :whistle:

U know, I have downloaded movies - in total probably about 7/8? Yeah that's about what I can count.

Of those:

5 I had seen at the cinema and got bored of waiting for a DVD release

3 I bought on DVD anyhow

2 were so poorly encoded I just deleted them and waited for DVD

I'm REALLY hurting this million $ industry!

I've had at least 2 fake torrents, I even had a fake one for linux??? I mean WTF? At least give me a real linux one, i can see that trying to download other things are bad. I don't download anymore since kazaa failed.

You can get in trouble for uploading, providing the file for others. But as far as I know, know one has gotten in trouble for downloading. Its the one that has certain files available for upload that the RIAA/MPAA tracks and prosecutes. Thats why during these court proceedings the RIAA will say "We tracked them and they had ********** these files for uploads", usually alot of them (hundreds to thousands) and theb they will name them. As for downloading, I've known friends that have been caught and warned, but not prosecuted.

I concur good doctor. It would be a waste of Legal Fees if they persecuted small sharers. They want groups like BRUtUS and other DVD-RIP groups as they are the people that put it up. The sites like Suprnova were the ones that they like to attack.

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
