People That Download Movies

[Johnny Blaze]

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.

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.

[kombolcha]

last movie i downloaded was family guy movie..

i VERY VERY VERY VERY Rarely download movies.. maybe once a year, but i coudln't pass on family guy

[Commodore Max]

I never got caught. Actually, I think I only downloaded 1 movie in on the internet.

[killmaster84]

I just got back from a 2yr prison sentance for downloading Austin Powers 3 sometime in 2001.

So we can only download music in Canada? Anyways I don't download movies dail-up sucks for that.

[fkid]

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.

[kombolcha]

oh wait.. there's like 6 unsecured wireless networks i can log on to and access and i do most of the time when i'm far enough from my router anyway..

hmmmmmm.. :shifty:

[kingpunk]

i deleted most as i just get bored of them after a while...

but i still have a hefty little collection. (many of which i also legally own)

his name isnt joker without any reason.

[lil_psc]

u r perfectly safe if u outside USA :D

thats wot i reckon

all we need is now for some hackers to take down RIAA database

[golazo]

any questions? ;)

am i supposed to be impressed

[Kaidiir]

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>

[mattmatik]

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.

[insanekiwi]

@kingpunk: wtg. show off your ewang and make it grow. and the point of telling us you're a movie pirate is? :rolleyes:

[digipoi]

Those pirated movies just suck. Must have the digital surround to experience full effect of the movie. Im a snob that way.

[Bubbabyte]

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...

[pimpshiznid]

Meh. I just download movies occasionally from CinemaNow.com

Easy, legal, and high quality. :)

[P!P]

I've only downloaded two movies. The first was War of the Worlds, which I downloaded after seeing it. Second which I just downloaded was Stealth.

no kidding. who the heck wants to pay 3.75 for a hotdog and 3.75 for a soda?

Ill still watch an occasional flick on the big screen if its a truly must-see choice. I bring in my own goodies though and buy the large refillable soda then disperse it out in small cups. Theater owners are rapists.

[Gowcra]

Your kidding right. If your not, I feel sorry for you mate. Your not safe, they nailed a few brits awhile ago. Maybe Shanepitman can clarify this for us, because your ignorance is shameful.

[Andy07]

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.

[Colin-uk Veteran]

no i dont download movies, my connection isnt fast enough :( lol

[704]

I download lots of movies. But it's funny when I see one of the movies I have on TV. I'd rather watch it on TV, it's like watching it again for the first time.

[Kreuger]

This is one of those things where I look at it and go "you know what, I'd rather take the consequences of my actions knowing I enjoyed it rather then avoid it."

Edit: NO
