Now don't get me wrong, I'm not for stealing or piracy but I just find it funny how everyone is so offended by pirating. Before you get all insulted by people watching the movie before hand, find out the statistics on piracy. Did you know that due to the MPAA and the lawsuits producers are allowed to start that these companies like fox are actually making more money on the movie than they originally would have? Yes thats right. Wolverine may have been the exception because so many people downloaded it, but when a movie like iron man is released on DVD there are about 50,000 people who download it. When these producers win a lawsuit against these torrent site they win up to $10 million. Most copyright cases end up in millions in restitution. Well assuming those 50,00 people had all bought the dvd instead, that would result in 50,000 people * $20 a person = 1 million in sales – tax and disc costs = less than the companies win in lawsuits. So please shut up.

once again you do not know what you're talking about.I make a copy of a film and for that, the prices in cinemas and the prices of a bought dvd in stores goes up?
what world do you live in?
to justified your comment, you would actually have to quantify the loss due to ” piracy” before.
which as never been done because it's impossible to quantify something you do not know…AND a pirated film does NOT mean a lost sale or anything.Know your facts: people downloading a film, most of the time ( not always;)) WILL go to the theatres to watch it too, and sometimes more than once.So,following your ” logic”,if you go more than once to see a film that means they are making more profits and so the price for the tickets would go down…oh,wait…that will never happen because they are after the MONEY,not trying to get you fairer deal tickets…

*MOD – John I've edited your comments. You're welcome to your opinions but not the personal attacks. Play nice. Thanks.*

you do not get it.digital content is NOTHING like the real thing.you get a COPY of the film. that means the ORIGINAL is STILL in the hands of it's makers. do NOT compare things that are NOT comparable.Stealing a car and having a copy of a film are two DIFFERENT things.For crying out loud:get a grip!!!

*MOD – John, calling the owner of the website an idiot for having an opinion that differs from you is a quick way to get banned from commenting at all. Once again, no more personal attacks.*

you buy a dvd for the film itself, but they put you some tons of advertising in it.this is not what you've asked for.
pirated films are stripped of ALL that advertising.
waiting for a film to air on tv? you would have to wait for a year…and you would have to watch the ads as well…so you would spend 1h50mn watching a film that lasts for 1h30mn. DISGUSTING!!!

I agree with “Mark” in a previous post: “I want quality.. i reward quality.”

In the days of vinyl you bought the quality albums, otherwise, you bought cheap singles.
Later came cassettes. Again you bought or re-bought the quality (It doesn’t matter who the artist is. Just what ever you consider “quality”) and made home copies of the rest.
Then came CD’s. Again, I re-bought the quality and then I dowmoaded cheap (or free) of the rest.
Same goes for movies. VHS came out, I bought the quality movies, dubbed the rest.) DVD came out, I bought the quality copied and downloaded the rest.
My point is this. I feel I’ve paid my dues. Everytime a new technology becomes available, I am expected to re-buy my libraries. I don’t mind buying and even re-buying quality, but buying crap is just a waste.

I have also been one of many who have seen the leaked X-Men Wolverine movie.I have to say it had decent points but to say the least it is a total flop for comic,movie,and all around marvel fans.The way Deadpool was in the movie totally kills the way he was in the marvel universe.Weapon X1 was a cool villian but not Deadpool.If they change the story points for that and say it was a clone of Wade Wilson then it may pull back towards being good.I hate that hollywood can get their hands on things we love so dearly and ruin it. I think Fox/Marvel need to pull back big time and reevaluate the whole comicbook movie area.They can truly salvage this movie if they will push back the date and seriously do some reshoot and script work.I know they did some but I am really curious as to what those changes maybe.Please say its deadpool not being weapon X1 and deadpool actually being cloned to make him.Deadpoll is one one the coolest Marvel characters and it really pisses me off they gave him laser eyes,baraka blades,teleportation skills with no device and took away his way of speech.They basically killed everything he was about.So I say GO TO HELL AND BURN FOX/MARVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
