A few of you became very offended when I used the word piracy. Some made accusations towards me, some felt it was unfair.
So let’s take a look shall we. Let’s discuss this like we’re civilized, even if we have to pretend. We’ll discuss one thing at a time, starting with Blade Runner HDTV.
Citizen - I will be making PAL & NTSC DVDs from the 15gb capture, with 2 audio tracks, the first being the 5.1 mix they put out and the 2nd I’ll use the 5.1 mix and add-in Deckard’s voiceover, toying with the idea of putting the voiceover on the rear channels instead of the center.</span>
digitalfreaknyc i was doing this as well.
Persons interested in acquiring this on DVD include: retartedted, ReverendBeastly, MeBeJedi, ShiftyEyes, and boba feta… just off the first page.
There are more, many more: dugpa, Adamwankenobi (who actually says he’s planning to get a copy of it rather then buy a legit copy), DrVenkman, Echo3, Jay , winman42 (who wants to author a disc), Hardcore Legend <"I too am eager to get a copy of this on Dual Layer. The retail version is a disaster", Laserschwert… that gets us to page 3 anyway, only counting the members who specifically said they were interested in getting a copy of it.
Blade Runner can be legally bought. Here is rule 4: Do not discuss bootlegs of products currently available in general release. This forum is for material not available to the general public because it has never been released or it’s no longer available for sale.
It seems even Jay is quick to ignore the rule in this case. If you ask me, piracy has progressed hugely from where it was 10 years ago, you can now get pirated copies that are equal, and in some cases better quality then the official release. Does this make it okay to copy it and pass it around, so long as it’s better quality then the official release? Where do you draw the line on this? Can you all honestly tell me that this isn’t piracy in your oppinion? I have Blade Runner on DVD, sure it’s not fantastic quality - but it’s watchable, it’s legal, and I still believe that we will get a higher quality release, as was promised long ago - once all the legal issues surrounding it are ironed out.
