Is this right?

Also, I am an actor and will be in a movie next year filimging in 3 weeks (CANT WAIT) you see I am only 15 and you wont BELEIVE the $$$$ they pay me and yes I do beleive pirating is mine but if you are not going to see the movie then if you want to download (because its free) then be my guest I even do it sometimes but the thing is its not just the price but the oppertunity and availablility as you see I could take a 15 minute drive (from a schoffur if I want because of my payment) and go buy a ticket watch a movie in crowd of 100 people yelling and laughing, it's just easier from home.

PS The movie is called "Talk to Me" starring Don Cheadle.

Thank You

 

you are all correct that they (the MPAA and record company) are greedy bastards and I in no way support their ideas of justice, but think about this. Lets say that you make a really good pair of running shoes. you spent thousands of dollars and years of research on these incredible shoes. Then, A lowlife steals your plans. Pretty soon, he starts making those shoes just like yours, except they are dirt cheap. I know for a fact that people would rather get something almost free than pay for it. So everybody is enjoying these new shoes that they got almost for free from this lowlife, but you get nothing in return for your hard work and years of research. Does this sound fair?

I'm against piracy, but I believe that we have right as consumers to do whatever the hell want with our media as long as we dont profit off it. The MPAA and record company are so F@&*d up. They charge like half a million dollars if you just do something like download a movie. I'm pretty sure you get charged less for armed robbery or assault than movie piracy. Something is seriously wrong there.
