pure bull. because of the online thieves, dvd releases trail theater
releases by about 6 months, and the bulk of the reviews for any given
movie are released during its theater run.

you are brainwashed. piracy is happening in a big way and it is hurting
the music and movie industries. if you think "spider man 3," one of the
examples cited, was not hugely pirated you are ignorant, crazy or a
liar. there is no other explanation.

you are delusional. the main difference between today and the era when
people were actually paid for their labor is not movie-quality, but
ease-of-theft.

for good reason. "hollywood" aren't just guessing or making up
fantasies. in fact, the blame is 100% accurate.
there are ways of measuring online traffic and picking out exactly how
many individuals are stealing what particular piece of intellectual
property. that technology matured in the napster era, get with the
times.

guess what? hollywood could put out the best movie in history tomorrow
and it would be massively pirated. and then your excuse for this
behavior would become "look at all the money they're making, piracy does
not matter".
all you pirates and pirate-enablers do is make excuses for your bad
behavior. if people really thought hollywood movies stunk, THEY WOULD
HAVE NO REASON TO STEAL THEM. you people make me SICK.
