Live from Iran, Film88
MemFun writes "The now defunct Movie88.com has became Film88.com. These are the guys that are streaming a ton of movies for $1 a piece (but not allowing you to save the movie). Of course, to avoid all the Tinsel Town Club baddies (mpaa) from shutting them down, they are now based in Iran of all places. We just finished watching the free Harry Potter movie they are offering. Question: Does this make me a criminal? I really like the selection of movies they have and stream or not, it's still pretty cool to have the ability to watch some those movies that are never on TV any more."
When are you going to understand that these poeple do not have the RIGHT to distribute movies without licensing them from the film industry? You people talk about YOUR rights being taken away and violated, what about the rights of the film and music industries? You have heard of that little piece of paper entitled the US COnstitution? It gives content creators five basic rights concerning their works of art, distribution being one of them. When a site like Napster or Film88 provides the same content without licensing the right to do so they are taking away the rights of the content creators. I hope the MPAA shuts this site down.
Actually, had Israel not stolen Palestinian land, deported palestinians, destroyed their houses, refused passage to ambulances with critically ill or pregnant women inside at checkpoints, ... they wouldn't have got bombs.
Palestinians hit on Israel because Israel make them suffer, they don't hit on them just for the fun of it, they want their freedom, since Israel refuses to comply with the UN resolutions, human rights, it continues to build settlements on stolen land,... there's no reason anymore for the palestinians to talk peacefully with someone who doesn't even listen to them.
During the Oslo peace process, very few violent actions from the palestinian side occured, they were done by extremist groups and these people were arrested at that time, but during these 10 years, they didn't see any palestinian state, and israeli settlements doubled in occupied territories. Israel didn't want peace, they got war.
Palestinians use violence because they suffer violence since 1948, they didn't start it. Their land and freedom was stolen, they want it back, and that's perfectly normal.
