In the end people will do what they want to do anyways. I don't wanna hear that crap about lost revenue to some economy. If someone wants to get rich cause somebody wants to go see a movie then good for them. If someone wants to dl a movie then fine with me. The world is based on currency which by the way is based on a bunch of bullshit anyways. If there were no currency then this would not be a problem. You think I care about some millionaire bitching and complaining about who didnt make the extra $2 million cause a movie was downloaded. Not to mention that movies are just an recreational event of entertainment. If there were no movie theatre then would this be a problem....if there was no television would this be a problem. Get real! Copyrights are shit. Maybe they should ban video cameras and copying devices...or maybe even computers so we wouldn't even be having this conversation for instance. Everything is just a bunch of media propaganda to make people like you believe that the more rich and powerful economies in the world are hurting because movies are being downloaded. Thus taking focus off the real picture of the real problems of the world economies. For the record...I live in the U.S. "mate"..... and it is shit here. I'm not gonna sit here and make myself believe that our economy is hurting because of pirated movies...especially in a country where entertainment is very over rated with that life imitates art shit. When dealing with American politics your just dealing with a bunch of shit kickin hypocrites and shit starters thinkin they should police the whole damn world (as you can see by the nonsense war thats going on which is really affecting our economy pretty badly). At the most part American tax dollars are being spent more on defense purposes than the economy itself and the total amount being spent in Iraq nearly exceeds billions of dollars. This includes rebuilding a country after the fact that we destroyed it. I could get more in depth but it would be a waste of time. Until then... yes there are 2 sides of a story but I'll stick to the side of people sharing and trading which was a very real system before currency ever became an issue to the world itself. And anyone please don't try the reverse psychology card this way cause I'm gonna tell you straight up......If I made a movie I really don't care about the fame or the money. In my opinion do as you wish. I'm happy with the fact that people watched it.....but this is me. Yeah I'm hardworkin and between poor and mid class like the average person. I have other problems to deal with...so like most people who use choice as the best weapon....you either buy or you dont.

Hi everyone! Okay so we are sick of corruption,politics,soft-pedaling and snitches. It is like a group of people who see an accident;everyone tells the truth as best as they can, and yet each description is different. So we don't buy some stuff. Now what? As for privacy,I am not sure anything really works very well. By the way, no offense Duke8888, but who are you? Do you get a commission or a break for your vigelance and input?
take care and have fun!

I have found an answer to spell check. The just recently released Google tool bar has spell check on it. Type all your stuff in and hit the spell check. It will check spelling in your message.

A Mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package.
"What food might this contain?" he wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the house! there Is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house".
The pig sympathized but said, "I am so very sorry Mr.. Mouse, But there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured that you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow.
She said, "Wow, Mr.. Mouse. I'm sorry for you. But it's no skin off my nose."
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she did not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.
Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
So next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it doesn't concern you, remember that when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
Grateful for any and all helpful information and guidance. Thank you arnold2

So how does this correlate to illegal file sharing or the torrent site that was taken down? Let me see, The Mouse is the torrent user, The Trap and Farm owners represent The Government, and The Snake is the malicious excessive torrent-sharing bastard. Oh, also the farm animals are the ignorant people of the world.
So we as the ignorant farm animals should fight to keep mousetraps out of the houses so that the mice can spread disease in the house. Did you know that mouse urine is a potent allergen and even lab workers have to take major precaution when working with mice..? So the snake gets sued for distributing current Hollywood movies like crazy, and raises awareness to government officials who tighten the reigns a little on the poor, poor farm animals.
You are an idiot.

Guys the view you take is not a good one on this thread.
I work for a media replication company www.DiscusGroup.co.uk and I'm not saying this for protection of our business but I see the effects on the small artists and film production companies first hand which stops them from making future quality projects being completed successfully for your enjoyment.
First hand I have a friend who I have seen make staff redundant because his content was ripped and put for public access.
We whole heartedly support this move and subscribe to
FACT, IRMA and voluntary MCPS reporting to stop those without intelligence or skill to create their own content ripping off others who have the brains from being robbed of well deserved income.
Remember the next time you see a friend lose a job it could be because it was downloading that lost his company revenue.
