Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In)

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-not-me-him dept.

Jamie found a link saying "Like a billion other people, I download things illegally. I'm also an actor, writer, and director whose income depends on revenue from DVDs, movies, and books.This leads to many conflicts in my head, in my heart, and in bars."

    Wait?
    You mean the like to exaggerate around here a little to make a point, sometimes I just have to shake my head at the stuff that gets modded up to make a point. It was probably .00001% of the market that had a forced preview on a DVD, but of course on /. the super small minority all of a sudden represents the majority as usual. How the hell do people make this up and swallow it.

    They purposely do it and lie to themselves to make themselves feel better at what they are doing, but lets face it the most any DVD will force you is probably :30 seconds.

    Personally I can go on with my life and not be such a whiny materialistic bitch if Hollywood doesn't deliver my movie, just gotta find bigger priorities in life than worrying about other peoples problems and why they shouldn't earn so much money.
