DazBob Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Blockbuster 3 for ?10 Don't do copy's. I do. I prefer the ?10 to be in my pocket. Quote
no balls Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I do. I prefer the ?10 to be in my pocket. Apparently it's not a victimless crime: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3887189.stm DVD piracy is a lucrative part of a wider network that involves criminal gangs, drug dealers, people smugglers, paedophile rings and even terrorists. They say it is an easy way for gangs to raise funds for their other criminal activities. Gangs can earn 10 euros (?6.65) for each euro invested in piracy, and a kilogram (35 ounces) of pirate DVDs is worth more than a kilogram of cannabis resin, according to authorities Just saying like.

Not sure that it's fair to say he's involved with drug dealing, people smuggling, paedo rings or terrorism. Oh, and the government couldn't possibly be using scare tactics because they're losing out on income. JSL. Edited October 31, 2011 by DazBobParr Quote

Sorry to hear that mate, genuinely. ... but surely you don't expect your average Joe to pay for something just to keep the cogs of industry turning? Especially when it's as dear to hire a DVD as it is to actually go to the cinema? Oh, and if I download a film and hand over no money, who is the victim? Quote
no balls Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 ... but surely you don't expect your average Joe to pay for something just to keep the cogs of industry turning? So, in what world is everything free for Average Joe? Did you do economics at school? You've lost me on this one. Quote
DazBob Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 So, in what world is everything free for Average Joe? Where have I said that? I asked if your average man on the street is offered something for free would you'd expect him to turn in down out of some moral obligation to the country's economy. Simple question, or so I thought.

To be fair, you lost your job due to the industry being modernised. The kindle etc will do the same to books. They are shutting libraries left right and centre round here. Quote
Theboybell Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Not after sympathy each to their own and all that I don't do it never have never will. collect DVDs so it's a bit diffrrnt I guess but it is flippant to suggest that it's victimless that's all. As you were. Not got round to watching H Centipede yet. Think all the hype may have ruined it for me tho I'm expecting to much now. Quote
DazBob Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Not really. Re-read your post. You're clearly being pedantic. Please point out where I said everything is free. Quote

Just makes copyright infringement more acessable to the masses. Anyways like I said as you were. Quote

You didn't,I was being facetious regarding your point as if we took the attitude yours regarding cogs of industry for everything, all our jobs'll fucked pretty quickly. Quote
DazBob Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) You didn't. Thank you. I'm glad we eventually cleared that up. You've obviously never borrowed a book, copied a cd, taped a tape, etc I presume? Edited October 31, 2011 by DazBobParr Quote

No, modernised as in Blockbuster/Lovefilm etc etc will stream films direct to your tele, PPV is readily available with Virgin/Sky/BT etc. Just as Itunes and MP3 players killed record shops. Video shops have been doomed for a long long time now unfortunately. Quote
Zico Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Especially when it's as dear to hire a DVD as it is to actually go to the cinema? not sure on the former point but cost me ?8 to go watching Tinker Tailor on a Sunday afternoon at Middlebrook which took me by surprise pay ?15 for Lovefilm a month miself Quote

Pisses me off that I have to queue amongst these vermin. I once asked, in all seriousness, why I don't have the right to go straight to the front of the queue seeing as I'm putting money into their coffers each and every month. The minimum wager behind the desk simply shrugged. Quote
DazBob Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Back to topic... Anyone seen We Need To Talk About Kevin? Looks like it could be good, but a bit on the heavy side. Quote
