  2. Maybe... on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    Crap movies will get bad reviews very quickly and so a lot of movies dont even make a profit - the studios reduce budgets so only films with good plots get made - no junk like Dumb and Dumber'er
    Most movies become good and texting helps them flourish.....

  18. I would say this was prettu obviuous on Pew Study: File Traders Don't Care About Copyright · · Score: 1
