Every1 I know copies hired 1s but that gets tiresome after a while. We have to do that for these reasons.

1) It is uneconomical to download (if available)
2) Nobody can afford them or would waste their money on something that will only be watched once or twice
3) DVD hirers have a bigger range than stores
4) All we get on pay TV are cable rejects 20 years old

Eventually interest is lost though as we find we don’t even watch the copied 1s.

#1 reason to keep copying) Legal threats contained within the disks.

I stopped buying any type of media…after G.I.Jane….when I found out how much they paid Demi Moore….
They want to make money….stop paying all these no talent actors such ridiculous amounts of money and they might make some!!

Haha u must owe them quadrillions of dollars or more than the whole US currency is worth!

As Jon says, please everyone who hears of this story stop buying from the “Big 4″. Especially Sony. Not only disks, but all their products, even those under covert brand names when found out about.

The sad part is that if they never sold another disk, not only are they already wealthy beyond belief, but they could comfortably go on siphoning away the income and life savings of file sharers ad infinitum.

Something must be done, and we need more lawyers who are willing to take on the cases freely, and as a recompense be able to sue with counterclaims and for costs. Surely this couldn’t be too difficult, as their evidence is always weak at best, and full of holes.

I really hope people follow through and do not buy anything by the big four. I try to inform as many people as I can about these cases and what the people being sued have had to endure. I can’t imagine the chaos this has caused in countless lives. I hope it all comes crashing down on those jerks.

The music parasite never sued me in despite the fact that I intentionally share well over 250 gb of RIAA and MPAA shits using the 4 majors p2p network. Too bad! Overwise they would have find out how frigtening it is to try to sue me.

“like you would know”

Actually, as Dreddnik says, I do know, times 3.

Yes, he would know exactly how frightening it is to be sued by a
wealthy conglomerate.
In Jon’s case, the wealthy conglomerate has no reason other than
shutting him up ( for something an anonymous reader posted ).

Yep he does know.

‘Yesterday, Andersen and I were talking about how frightening these lawsuits are.’ – like you would know
