If this could be modded +6, it should be. Seriously, does it have to be said again, these human interest stories, however wonderful an example of a petty squabble, are just that: petty squabbles; storm-in-a-teacup territory, because journalists are there to make money. What makes money? How many copies of gossip magazines are sold do you think compared to serious newspapers? How many more tabloid headline articles with "Helena Bonham Carter's plastic leg beats policeman" are read than articles on problems in the west bank?
Not only is piracy unethical but it also tells people like Uwe Boll that there is actually demand for his terrible movies.
Netflix streaming is only $8 per month and turns people on to smaller producers.
Hollywood and other big producers make the bulk of their funds from theater and retail blu-ray/dvd sales. The profits from Netflix are pennies on the dollar in comparison. Support Netflix, not piracy.
I'd love to, unfortunately:
We're not sure you will be able to sign up
for Netflix from your area.
You will need a valid U.S. mailing address to sign up for Netflix. Also, you will only be able to watch instantly if you are in the 50 United States or Washington, D.C. It looks like you are outside the United States. If this is incorrect, please contact your Internet provider for help. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
2 feet for fifty per cent of the time? I would have killed for that, we used to drag ourselves to school everyday, at 5'o'clock in t' morning by tongue.
