Not to mention the fact that it costs ten times as much for a family of 4 to see a movie in a theatre as it does to rent the DVD, which they could watch as many times as they like, skip, the commercials, etc.

I wonder, this article basically is centered around box office tickets, meaning theatres. What about those of us that refuse to go to a theatre b/c of the idiots that talk on their blue tooth (during a movie, nice blinky blue light), text message on their phone, and the all important “wait till this next part comes up, its SOOOOOOOO fake” ppl talking in the movie…

I have 4 dependents and we refuse to step foot into a theatre b/c of those distractions, and add the cost of a ticket price for all of us, its crazy.

So, I have been a proud supporter of Netflix. Could I d/l the movie off the P2P sites and watch it? Yes, why don’t I? I’m lazy. I just don’t care anymore. W/ Netflix, I just jot down the title of each/every film I want to see, and then add it to my Q. When its released, I get it in the mail.

So, lets see, I didn’t purchase the title, I didn’t go to the theatre. I would how many ppl are living in the streets b/c of my family’s choice to NEVER step foot into a theatre again.

Money goes around, whoever ends up with it has nothing to do with any individual it makes contact with. Many would object to some of their tax money being spent on the military, but does that mean we should refuse to pay taxes, and can get away with it? That’s been tried already by a famous actress, whose name eludes me, but the court didn’t see it that way, and she had her income further taxed thereafter.

Everyone who shares their media doesn’t really need to buy or attend theatres, so lets all not. If the greedy studios and actors stopped making video it would be a great relief and timesaver to millions.
