” even one movie pirate is one to many . . . just rent or buy your movies ppl ”

I do … second hand from used disk stores or pawn shops.
As long as the cartels continue their illegal practices and manipulation
of the court system, they will get none of my cash, and it’s also legal.
I guess a LOT of others are doing this as well. I wonder if the cartels will
ever admit how this practice is affecting them.

Which raises the most important question of all – do you buy one 99 cent hooker, or 99 one cent hookers with your iTunes money?

Yeah. I remember when I was in full time education. I always had loads of my grant left over to buy masses of drugs, beer, food and porn, after the rent, course books and prostitutes. Having to actually rent or buy films every week might have stretched my enormous budget a little.

Heck, looking back now, if I had only skipped the prostitutes, I could’ve probably bought out the MPAA in a year!

The discrepancy is more like 200 percent.
If the real number were 14 pecent and the given number was 44 pecent, the given number is about 3 times the real number.

Of course, the 14 percent is a ficticious number because at best, it is based on a reason why people did not buy something. Trying to find out why someone did not do something (see or buy a movie) is a dubious proposition best not done. Just have someone try to explain why he/she is not living in the moon. You can get a million different answrs, and all are valid.

My favorite guess as to why more people don’t not go to the movies or buy or rent dvs or music CD’s or go to concerts is that the quality of the product is not attractive enough and the hazzle and price is too great.

Hmmm……I wonder when they’ll admit they lied about Canada being a prime source for camcorded bootlegs? Or their actual losses due to piracy, for that matter? The truth is finally starting to unfold, and if these corrupt assholes think they can continue lying through their teeth to spread bullshit propaganda, and use these made-up “statistics” as a scapegoat to terrorize their own consumers, they’re dead wrong.
