As for the bullshit line the mpaa etc loses money-what a crock!i own 500 dvds now which i didnt when i started on bit torrent in 2003.i would never have purchased them if i hadnt copied them 1st as im not paying for shite.

The industry has done very well out of me. theres the money they got for my sony 70 inch 1080p t.v,my 46 inch lcd bravia in my bedroom,my p.s 3,46 inch toshiba rear projection in 2nd lounge,a 33 inch in my boys room,my 4 dvd players,2 video recorders,another blueray player,3 laptops my touch screen home computer,ps 2 and 1,psp-truck loads of games,phewww!.that lot cost me $50,000 .Now i work hard but i only have so much to spend on entertainment.if i dont want to sit in a crampped shitty theatre and pay way too much to be uncomfortable for two hours and put up with the clown throwing skittles from the back then that is what i choose to do.if they arent happy about falling box office returns then maybe its because i bought all this shit so i can enjoy MY media at home where i wont get searched like a criminal to do something as simple as watching a movie!.

You can stick the word “theft”on the end of all the organisations you want (nzfact)but copyright infringment is not theft,never was and never will be in the minds of ordinary people.Copying isnt theft as i didnt deprive you of anything,not even a lost sale,besides which i generally buy when the official dvd is released-im a real fan you see mpaa,i like the extra features,interviews etc.

The sooner the cretins in government stop pandering to these giant monopolies the better off the movie business will be.Or they can keep trying to censor the net,take away our rights,stiffle creativity and punish us with ridiculous fines or imprisonment for something that isnt the serious crime they make it out to be.i am not a terrorist,i am not a thief,i fly the nz flag at my house not the jolly roger so im not a pirate either!!.

national government-if you choose to criminalise people like me-you do so at your own peril,we will be silent no longer while you sell us out to the U.S.A

I was seriously considering New Zealand as emigration option. Laws like this (and governments that tickle the underbellies of the cartels) make my skin crawl and just make me stick a big fat red line through them.
