I am happy to pay for things at a reasonable price, at the moment a lot of things are out of my price range so I will try and find them cheaper if that fails I will download. I am all for paid downloads at a reasonable price, perhaps that will help both parties I am not sure.
My last three downloads were AHS Freak Show, Chips The War Dog (only on VHS not DVD), GodZilla Returns (I've not seen this on DVD that wasn't a bootlegged version.)
American Horror Story isn't available to buy just yet, I've got it on pre-order.
I don't think suing is going to help stop people though, but I am not sure much is going to help stop people pirating they've had fines and shit for years for copying movies and people still do it. |
Well Compared to rest of the World we get Charged Way To Much. Though with the new Streaming Companies that won’t be as bad but you have to have Quick Internet and Larger Data usage. That cost more money.
I now download stuff now that are hard to find and/or very expansive. That is mostly Anime.
I also be happy to pay to Download as long as they don’t charge stupid amount of Money

Could be like the McCarthy trials: name 10 other pirates and we'll let you go.

We get charged too much and also local television networks buy content then screw people around with it.
What happened to Gotham that 9 started to air late last year? The cricket started and it vanished. Did it go to a digital channel somewhere? NFI. You can't watch the TV channels on the overseas websites without a VPN because of geo blocking so people download stuff instead.
Fox 8 has been showing series 1 of the Flash only a day or 2 behind the US, so I'm happy to pay for pay TV and watch it. I downloaded series 1 and 2 of Arrow because it just wasn't being shown here.
New release movies I'm not that interested in generally, I dislike the cinema and haven't been this millenium or certainly this decade. They aren't losing any money on me.
Interesting that I heard this whole thing with Dallas Buyers Club has come about because of a group of investors didn't get the level of ROI they expected so they've gone after the pirates.

I am happy to go see a Movie at the Cinema’s on there Cheap Days.
Yeah - TV Stations just Stopping Shows like Arrow and never seen again is Pathetic and why get them in the 1st Place. Don’t Blame People Downloading TV Series for that Exact Reaosn.
I download Sport Videos and Anime is what I 90% of stuff I download and They are Hard to Find and Buy(English Subs for Anime) or way too expensive. Also I don’t think there super High Chasing Pirates of those 2 Stuff.
Well Maybe the Investors should go to the People who made the Movie. Because it must be a Crappy Movie IF next to no one went to watch it or buy the DVD’s.
When I buy DVD’s I buy them from Shops like Cash Converters and Companies don’t get money off Cash Converters where I brought them anyway

Off to gold class tomorrow night to watch fast and furious 7! Got a voucher for Chrissy that covered some of it.
Will probably go to the yarraville sun theatre to watch magic mike 2 with a girl friend, you can take wine in!
And then will fork out for gold class with junior for the last hunger games movie
Some things are worth the extra dose!

Probably why I have a media room with home theatre recliners, and a really really loud sound system! All I needs a hunky waiter!

Hah, when the back extension got built I did the wiring for the surround sound speakers before the plasterers came in. None of those fancy chairs, just a half circle couch that seats 5 (7 friendly) and when I watch a movie on my own I can crank up the sound to the point where the neighbors get to enjoy the experience too.
I'd rather kick back with my choice of tucker and a few drinks and watch the movie at home rather than the cinema, the "experience" just doesn't do it for me.

Oh no I love that too, but I don't get out much now, working at home all the time and it's the pits!
Though I'm learning to do lunch! Got one tomorrow with a very special lady we all know and love!
I only go to the pictures for the movies I either just can't wait for, and I don't want a cheap copy, or a good girl flick we can have a chat and wine after!

Cinema’s are not for everyone. I don’t mind it and when I go on a Tuesday during School Holidays there is next to no one there. A Few Times I been the only one in the whole Cinema
