Pirating does take a bite but I honestly don't think it is the problem that it once was. I don't know all that many people who pirate movies anymore. I mean sure, broke college kids do and lots of people do but once they get out in the real world it's easier to appreciate the work done to make a movie. Also there's so many streaming services now. It's just so easy to buy an entire tv series for 30 bucks now days. The industry took too long to offer streaming movies and hell are the reason for pirating. No, I don't support that 2 weeks out movie thing being discussed in the other thread.
Still we don't get refunds for wasting money on a shitty movie... and most studios pay next to nothing in taxes.

Yes, they've already been paid. They might not get paid again. That's the issue.
Yea and an asteroid might hit us tomorrow right? You're too much doom and gloom. This reminds me of the horror Hollywood have over video tape recorders and how that would be the end of movies. Honestly, nothing happened, theaters are still popular and an entire new economy of home movies was spawned. You really need to relax a bit.
What the f**k was this thread about again? Also, there really should be a date on the thread, every time I see it I'm thinking we're going to get new pics... of which none of us are paying for... double standard much. I mean if some one leaks footage are we not going to show it? Oh but that's alright? haha just piling it on since I have nothing better to do tonight.
