Yes indeed.

That's why most artists don't care about piracy, or even think it's good for them. Hey, they rarely own any right on their own work. But that's not the true reason.

Maybe this whole affair that looks like spreading paranoia or something will put things in the right order with time, let's hope: getting rid of useless companies. Though that move could lead to worst...

I download a lot of music, but most of it I delete after a couple listens. The stuff that I keep on my iPod I own legally, and if I really like something I do buy it (not often, most music bores me). This doesn't make it legal of course.

 

Same here. Only kept a couple of boots that are not to be found for sale though, unless you want to see me feeding black market.

I used to buy a bunch of bootleg CDs 15 years ago (unreleased music, live performance), so it sure makes me feel better to DL them for free and check the quality for I decide to keep it or not.

I don't DL films nor anything. It happened to me once: about 6 or 7 film during one week and never did it again - time consumming. I downloaded them right on my USB and watched them on my TV.

Maybe there are some illegal downloads from me just for documentation. And one friend working into a tv production said they were "allowed" to download all kind of stuff, and that it was not considered as illegal if it was used for documentation (technicians, artists).

...

Anyway, what happens here any one could have predicted it since back in 2000 ! I don't think I am more a clairvoyant than anybody else.

Sorry, but I do not agree... Lucas already replaced the Ents with the Ewoks, Gandalf with Obi-wan, Aragorn with Han Solo, Frodo with Luke... Have you ever read the Lord Of The Rings, guys ?

... All the plan from the LOTR books is to be retrieved reworked and simplified in Star Wars. Joseph Campbell has certainly his part in that tho.

So, replacing the Ewoks with Ents would be some of the best ideas you could have, no ?

Taking your question literally, no, I haven't read LOTR. I hate Tolkien's style and after struggling through Fellowship, ground to a halt in Two Towers. Never read Return. When the movies came out, I gave it another shot and couldn't get anywhere in Fellowship. Thanks to Peter Jackson, I can finally experience this story.

Star Wars needs Gollum and a Precious.

Um...

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I majored in film production in college over 20 years ago and had the same problem.  I call it "Chicken and Egg syndrome" - no one will hire you because you don't have any experience but you can't get any experience because no one will hire you. 

And even with experience, if your area has a wide range a lot of people may be too narrow-minded to hire you on something related but a bit different, and so on...

Just a way of human nature to learn humility though. You have to give everything... everything you can but yourself! Just avoid that confusion. ;)unless it's a choice but then you have to learn your limits or you won't have a life... I'm not sure everybody knows the deep meaning behind this.
