Pirate?

This extra entry from today came about when I was writting the earlier post. I mentioned something about pirated DVDs and just kept rambling about it, long enough for its on post, so...

Last NIght I watched Dan in real life, its a good movie, I mean is not hte best, but if you like The Office's Steve Carrell I bet you will like his acting in this movie a lot, I did and I think is worth going to the movies to see it, or rent it, jsut see it but not in a pirated way.

Even though I live next to the theater my girlfriend insisted in taking the car since it was rainy nigh, so I was worried we wont find parking and we would have to park almost the same distance or further than my house's walking distance to the theater. I was amazed, we found parking and, the line to buy the tickers was actaully empty along the theater hall, only like 20 people the most, including staff.
When we got to the room, it was empty except for a couple sitting in the middle, I was surprised it was opening night for this movie, I thought more people would come in to watch the movie, no one else did. So it was a good/weird experience. Many elements can contribute to this... a bad movie? bad weather? bad promotion... or getting a pirate version of the movie and watch it on the computer. Actually an ad ran talking about pirated movies, and it showcased a cliche dramatic sequence of how a parent gave bad example of buying a prated DVD... its lame but so true.. even though they over acted.

Fuck pirated DVDs and CDs, if you want a DVD or CD, buy it. People say is not stealing, riiight. Let me put it this way, if you steal a DVD or CD from a store, the artist don't get the respective royalty from that product (unless they have another distribution method), so if you rip a DVD or CD, yeah you might say you rather copy it than stealing...BUT yo uare not buying it, you get to enjoy the product without never buying it, meaning that the original product remains on the store shelf. You might think, oh well if I don't buy it, doesnt matter its only less than $20 they don't earn, but...BUT if hundreds, or thousands, or millions of people do the same... do the math... that is how much the original artist never earns... on his or her's hard worked CD or movie. It applys the same thing with video games, on my earlier blogs I talked about emulation (a program that palys ROM versions of the original game) and how I restric that emulation in only HARD TO FIND OR RARE consoles that are OBVIOUSLY OVER PRICED by rip off Ebay sellers (most of them dont even work they are sell AS IS) for the rest I rather buy it, and guess what I even enjoy it more, beacuse I earned it, I appreciate it. So, next time if you are on a store, and you think a DVD is over priced (cause yeah I agree they are), come back another day for a special or something, or look on the internet for better offers (because you can find better offers) but dont just copy it, that is being fucking cheap (unless is something so stupid that is not even worth buying, then again why you want something like that). By the way, people might say "OH how contradictory aa so called pirate talking agaisnt pirated products..." I'll say even pirates had a code of honor. So Fuck you, cheap bastard. ;)
