(or worse) to the heavies... <BR/><BR/>And since most stuff comes on the telly eventually I really can't see much point in paying for bad copy... I do occasionally pay to go to the cinema... its still a completely different experience to even the poshest home cinema (well the poshest I've been in obviously...)Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9955979.post-3771722058814151862008-07-06T13:35:00.000-04:002008-07-06T13:35:00.000-04:00True, but I don't think the people who buy them are really expecting high quality. They just want to see the movie without having to pay $10 to sit through 15 minutes of tv commercials on the big screen and pay $20 for a dollars worth of soda and popcorn.<BR/><BR/>The best solution is, instead of making criminals out of their customers, the MPAA should just SELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT. When a movie comes out, sell no-frills DVDs OR DRM-free downloads of them for $10 each. If Piracy really IS keeping people out of the theaters, then it shouldn't affect the theater industry at all. And, the cash would be going right into the pockets of the studios (sorry, I meant the ARTISTS) rather than in the hands of terrorist/drug dealers.Tony LaRoccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10645535189191174927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9955979.post-91515110960668482462008-07-06T03:56:00.000-04:002008-07-06T03:56:00.000-04:00Ah the bootleg DVD racket. I always love the bonus footage included: Man gets up to go to the bathroom, man gets up to get popcorn for his girlfriend and the best - guy holding the camera sneezes causing special earthquake effects. Ahhhh..... nothing sounds better than THX sound recycled through a chinsey JVC camcorder mic.gNathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02169551434146094536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9955979.post-91083503473552188602008-07-05T02:53:00.000-04:002008-07-05T02:53:00.000-04:00I'm wealthy (not with money though) and skinny!
