They did alright for having no budget. All you people who dislike it so much are over-reacting to Hubbard. He was a sci-fi writer first. I always liked his stories. Too bad Travolta could not get more money for production but I like what they did for cheap. I read it 15 years ago, several times, and it is a page turner
Yeah record companies have had artificially high prices. But you can't rob the record company with out robbing the poor artist too!

Not Everyone: Revisited
Not everyone wants to steal. I like to pay my own way.
I think artists deserve pay. And I feel good when I pay for their stuff. So I will never use a system like kidnapster. (Did you know artists get paid for radio play? They do you know...)
In the seventies our Government was shooting students to death in the streets over whether or not they would be forced to go to Viet Nam and die. There were millions of protesters. Many went to jail. Many left the country and never returned. Many died.
Look at Mitnik. Do you really think the fed won't arrest individuals who steal intellectual property? They can't arrest everyone, but how about if they arrest just twenty people a day...
It would be like a lottery! Who won today?
If you think it won't happen, look at the war on drugs. Millions of people do it. Most do not go to jail. Nevertheless, the goverment pursues the 'war'. There are ten times more people in jail from drug offenses than any other type of offense.
There is lots of room! Do you imagine the feds will do less for the very foundation of our capitalist system (intellectual property rights)?
I hate to see anyone go to prison so I am going to say 'good luck' but I don't think it will do you any good. Ultimately, this kind of distribution will be found to be illegal. And individuals caught doing it will do jail time. And you may never actually go to jail yourself, but you will certainly be in the game. And you will see some of your friends go to jail.
I choose not to participate. I played these games with the fed over other issues and I am tired of fighting.
What this country really needs is not free music for lotus eaters. (As if the radio is not sort of free.) We need to eliminate the electoral college. Then we can have true representation. We really need lower taxes. I know you guys don't make any money (otherwise why steal art?) but if you had jobs you would be amazed how high our taxes are. Some one who is buying a house and has a family pays over 40% of their income to the fed. We need lower taxes.
Then maybe we could find it in our hearts to pay for our musicians.

When I was 20 and working as a DJ, the government was shooting and killing kids like me in the streets. If you think they will have a problem arresting anyone, dream on...
