Man this is a hoot. Revenge of the Sith is doing record business and they're complaining about piracy? If a film is big enough, then the piracy doesn't hurt it because it makes so much money. If a film (or song or whatever) is small time, then it's not big time enough to be bootlegged widely, and the free publicity is worth it. Seriously. I don't see the problem. I've seen the movie twice, am going to see it a 3rd time, and am buying a copy in November. I haven't downloaded it, but certainly will not pick on anyone who does as long as they've paid good money to see it and will buy a legal copy at a later time.

Did you forget the part about the library "buying" the book? How many libraries do you know of that make thousands of copies of the book available for people to take home and keep?
There are quite a number of differences.

Didn't blockbuster have a different deal with regards to DVD? I recall the studios not being to happy about it (apparently the agreement referred solely to VHS), and withholding some releases. "Bring It On" is one release that comes to mind.
I used to know the specifics, but it's been awhile.

QuoteWhich is exactly what I just said here:
When you "buy" your movie, you are not authorized to distribute it - even to one person at a time.
Quote
If I buy a movie, I can not then set up a site to stream it for free to people, even if I only allow one person to stream it at a time. I also can not have a public showing of the movie without specifically paying for that right.
QuoteI know they do. I never claimed they were breaking the law. I said that the concept is the same as what bootleggers [illegally] do; and the authorization for them to do it is arbitrary which makes the application of the law, contradictory. Reread what I said here again:
Libraries, on the other hand, have limited authorization in distributing copyrighted work, so long as it is returned.
Quote
So downloading a movie is technically illegal. So what? Contradictory application of the laws (the beloved libraries vs. bootleggers for example) makes them null and void as an ethical or moral issue as far as I am concerned.
