Johnny Blaze Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I have not had adsl long, maybe 5 months or so, but in that time I must of downloaded at least 60 films. I only use private torrent sites, and the occasional one or two from irc. If I really want to see a film that I know is good, I will pay and go and see it at the cinema, as its just not the same watching it on your TV screen at home :rolleyes: As said earlier in the thread, the majority of people that get targeted are those that provide the file for other people.

Orange Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I've been downloading movies since 1999 and never have once been caught i just never share on P2P programs.. i only used them back in the days before torrent was around.. torrent is better but newsgroups / irc is best for protection from getting caught... torrent is best option tho.

fkid Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 In general, it is very unlikely (depending on the software you use of course and where you live) that a regular "leeching" user will get caught. My personal stats: downloading movies for 5 years or so now, many many movies and nothing.

Kaidiir Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've only downloaded a couple, and that was back when Kazaa worked and everything was good. I usually go see movies in the cinema anyways. Like many have said, bigger screen...better sound...comfy chairs....... Normally I don't support movie downloading. A lot of people I know are actually in the movie industry and I've seen how it all works; it really does take a sh*tload of work to make a movie on the parts of hundreds of people. I've actually made a couple of short films myself and it is far more effort than it's commonly thought. But the MPAA and the RIAA are composed of nothing but greedy dickholes. The entire world of professional moviemaking is corrupted and now is little more than popularity contests, dating other actors, and gouging money. They're all afraid of change; afraid that they'll have to actually wait a few months before they buy their own tropical islands and solid gold poolside bars. Someone needs to do to movies what iTunes did to music--create a site where one can download movies and pay either a minimal monthly fee or a very minimal amount per movie. Paradoxically though there would have to be some kind of encryption for the movie files themselves...perhaps personalized encryption and decryption keys? Decryption keys that expire after a set period of time? If someone can convince people to pay a little bit for a guaranteed-quality-and-sound HD movie at respectable size, the idea could potentially be the kind of runaway success that iTunes has become. </$0.02> Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/360004-people-that-download-movies/page/2/#findComment-586399847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've downloaded movies I've gone to see in the theater that I liked. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm paying $10 per viewing, I damn well should be able to at least have a rewind and see it one more time - this time without people talking, kids kicking my seat, wrappers crumpling, drinks splashing on the floor, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/360004-people-that-download-movies/page/2/#findComment-586399871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbabyte Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 taking your family to the movies has become incredibly overpriced...an outing for 2 adults and a child for 1 movie can cost somewhere around $60.. that is just way too much to spend on a single movie. Movie stars will make $8 mil per flick... while the average person making around $30 grand a year pays a days salary to take his kid to the movies... for people in that position i completely support downloading a movie within 30 minutes, watch it, and buy some groceries...

Andy07 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 If its a popular torrent, then its likely tried and tested to be safe. I would say you would get a warning letter from your ISP as a first step, don't worry you won't get fined. Use a program like PeerGuardian will help.
