I just don’t see how this action by the MPAA will help their revenue. If anything, it will hurt their image and less people will be willing to go to the theatre. Until they take down the big people behing this, it won’t make a dent.

I HOPE YOU READ THIS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MOVIE OR PIECE OF MUSIC AS LONG AS I LIVE IF YOU CONTINUE THESE LAWSUITS.

Stealing movies and music is wrong, I agree. However, you have been raping the consumer for years upon years. Sue yourselves! You have brought this upon yourselves. Paying $13-18 for a CD with 1 or 2 good pieces of music is STUPID to be non-vulgar. To pay $8 or more to sit in a theater is STUPID, again, to be non-vulgar.

I work hard for a living, have a small family, and simply cannot afford to WASTE my money on that crap. Stop blaming your problems on pirates (they usually wouldn’t buy your defecation anyway) and start blaming the correct people: yourselves. The reason: Overcharging for CRAP. Get this: the rest of the world went through a depression. What? You think you are immune? LOL, no, you just saw a way to make a profit during the depression by suing people! You nitwits weren’t doing anything until the depression caught up to you too. CAN YOU SAY SCAPEGOAT?

You are all thieves and whores. You disgust me. I will never support your industries. Suing people is a cheap shot. You are no better than the thief who was injured while robbing a house and sues the house’s owner because he got hurt.

Shove it all up your rear ends,

A PISSED-OFF, SOON NOT TO BE, CONSUMER OF MOVIES AND MUSIC

Is this where bootleggers get there rips?
Is it just me or that’s where people are getting the DVD files?

Maybe a tax on bread and meat sold at grocery stores should be implemented to protect the professional sandwich makers’ livelihoods, with the proceeds going to the often-robbed sandwich industry.

Just think of the $billions in lost income that people are stealing from these restaurants and delis every time they make their own sandwiches.

“We estimate that the industry loses over $1 billion every year in sales lost to home users alone” said Mr. Fogle, referring to the practice of placing meats and vegetables between two slices of bread. “This practice endangers both the livelihoods of our ’sandwich artists’ and indeed, the art of sandwich-making itself. Allowed to continue unchecked, sandwich-making would likely die as an art form altogether.”

U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, alongside Mr. Fogle for the announcement, unveiled a poster designed to focus awareness on the protection of intellectual property. 50’s TV homemaker Donna Reed is featured among a panoply of sandwich-making items, including Wonder Bread, sandwich meats and various condiments, admonishing young mothers to “leave the work to the professionals” rather than risk prosecution. “We will leave no stone unturned, no greasy lunch bag uninspected.” said Mr. Ashcroft. “If you think that you’re not being watched, you’re WRONG!”, he exclaimed, wagging his finger at the group of schoolchildren in the front row.

An FBI spokesman estimated that over 300 citizens will be served with subpoenas this week. They will initally be charged as “John Does” until legislation forcing schools to identify the makers is passed by noted crimefighter Orrin Hatch. U.S. Code provides for a fine of up to $150,000 per infringement, although out-of-court settlements are expected to range around $3,000 per defendant.

SPASM is a consortium of legal sandwich-making entities, including Subway ® Restaurants, Quizno’s ® Restaurants, Blimpies ® Restaurants and international megalith Sony BMG Universal Industries.

1. Protect the United States from terrorist attack.
2. Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage.
3. Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes.
4. Combat public corruption at all levels.
5. Protect civil rights.
6. Combat transnational and national criminal organizations and enterprises.
7. Combat major white-collar crime.
8. Combat significant violent crime.
9. Support federal, state, county, municipal, and international partners.
10. Upgrade technology to successfully perform the FBI’s mission.

Intersting to note that file sharers (”high technology” crimes?) rate as a higher priority than “public corruption”.

Even better, “significant violent crime” rates as NINTH..”let’s get those file sharers lest the murderers and rapists get there first!”..

And of course, protecting civil rights rates right behind throwing 12 year olds in jail to protect David Geffen’s salary.

Hey, you voted for these people. Good going.

But instead, album sales increased in the last year since their lawsuit campaign started. This only encouraged the RIAA to file even more lawsuits, and now the MPAA has ‘followed suit’ with its own plan to go after thousands of movie-sharing P2P users.

Because of the RIAA lawsuits, I completely stopped buying CDs. Now if the MPAA carries out its threat, I will also boycott cinemas and DVDs. If only more people would do the same this lawsuit madness would stop.

MPAA/RIAA logic doesn’t seem to compute that digital media (imho) tends to increase sales, not decrease….
