Jail-time for movie pirate

$900 million. Hell how much money do these guys wanna make!

Yet they can still afford to pay those retards $20M+ for a movie.

I'm not condoning piracy, but nobody on the planet needs to make $20M+ for a couple weeks of work, just because they have an alleged "status."

I still do not understand how they arrive at those figures ($900 million lost).
Just because someone downloaded a pirated copy of a movie, does not mean they would have bought it.

There is no way of quantifying this, plus I love it when they sue/jail people for downloading when they aren't able to provide an intelligent alternative.

So Holiwood feels ripped off, to the extend of $900M?

GOOD

Because too often I spent good money and time watching a holiwood flick in the cinema; because of its marketing campaign, cast, review, plot, treaser/trailers etc, only to leave the moviehouse feeling ripped off..

Maybe I should claim back my money from the Motion Pictures Association of America, but what about my time spent?

Hmmz - I realise my comment does not remotely apply to this threat, but let's add it anyway

Bluh.

I mean really.

Obviously, lack of enough holidays has taken its toll on our sober-thinking faculties - just look how stupid everyone has become.

Or maybe its just the education system to blame.

Ill education is going to cost us our lives. That'd be my counter statement to someone with "x is costing y" in lost bull****. I mean revenues. ..even aticipated revenues is almost acceptable.

Sheesh.. I am a bit mad too. Soon you'll hear me saying everyone has a basic human right to entertainment and that should be non-profit too Profit... profit = theft. Unless it really is a reward for some incredible innovation.
