Each time you illegally download or stream a movie or share it with others that way, you are making a choice between allowing someone to see some return on their work or not.
Just something to think about.
Please don’t steal movies. especially not the non big studio ones. Or if you do please realize You Personally are contributing to creators not being able to make more or better ... perhaps of the stuff you like.
These days when u can rent a thing for literally a couple of bucks, and u want to watch it, please chose making the payment instead of pirating it.
It really is not a “victimless crime”.
It just appears that way.
Thank you.

Jokes aside, I agree with the essence of what you said but what about region locks? You have the money, you have unlimited Internet data but the legal site, legal application or legal software tells you that the services or products are not available in your country. Usually it's because someone didn't want to bother themselves with international licenses or rights or (looking at you here Itunes) only allows you to buy stuff in the country where your credit card is registered (didn't want to bother with currency exchange). Or better yet, what about when activists successfully block the broadcast of a documentary that would otherwise not really be available by another mean ( nationalpost.com/news/cbc-orders-last-minute-cancellation-of-bbc-documentary-that-activists-say-is-transphobic)? If you don't feel like buying the CD or DVD and you got the money and the unlimited Internet data, why do so many big companies operate online like it's 1999? And I'm talking about the situation in major cities in Canada, not the parts that are north of the Arctic circle or lost deep in the woods. It's not a third world country where that doesn't have the technology yet. |

Feels like you brought back this: I was thinking mored like this m.youtube.com/watch?v=qPEeaxI0OPUbut my main point was that while these msgs were perhaps more easily ignored, laughed at or detachable from in times when they were created, 10 or 15 years ago when there was no netflix and no 1.99 rentals these days stealing movies makes it a different (more reprehensible to me) thing, and its good to be reminded that the very film fans claiming to love movies may be the ones limiting the creators in creafing and thats ironic. very few directors live off of theatrical releases. its the online revenue that counts. I personally know of a few Loved shows that ended because while x numbr of people bought them x times 20 0 stole them so it just hurt the budget too much to continue... which was a sad result. |

Sucks big time and in such case I “get” why someone would pirate what they otherwise paid for on the atrraming platform they regurarly get billed for. |

Talking about Itunes, where I'm not saying I did and not saying I didn't, the CDs and DVDs are available at the local brick and mortar stores but if you feel like listening or watching online then many don't exist in the Canadian Itunes store. If you go to the US store you see what you're looking for but you can't buy it because your credit card isn't registered in the US.
Then you got a lack of file compatibility between platforms and stuff.
That's spitting on people's money (that they are willing to spend) and encouraging them to find other ways to access the stuff they want in the digital age.
Region locks are of a past decade.

I'm proud to say I have not once ever illegally downloaded a movie I always pay when I rent or I wait for it to come on TV.

What about Youtube, Nora? There are so many of my beloved tv movies from the 1970s, those yummy treats that usually ran around 73 minutes long. Those never cost money. And it's a good thing for me because I generally enjoy those more than the Hollywood big budget movie. I wonder why the tv movie of the week costs nothing? Do you have any idea? I know very little about copyright.

And it's a good thing for me because I generally enjoy those more than the Hollywood big budget movie. I wonder why the tv movie of the week costs nothing? Do you have any idea? I know very little about copyright. I use YouTube as a public domain too. I perhaps shouldn’t because certainly not everything that’s on it is there legally with the owner of the IP permission but the very idea behind YouTube was to share content it’s its primary purpose and all that do hold the rights (either it’s theirs or have a persmiddion or are using a public domain works) just release their stuff for you to view and that’s how they make money so if there is an original creator you like do pause your Adblock when playing their video otherwise they don’t get a cent from your viewings if otherwise they would. I wouldn’t watch an obviously pirated movie that’s for the cinemas now but you don’t really find those on YouTube and in all the legal content that’s there I understand it would be difficult if not near to impossible for someone to differentiate what they are watching so too me watching anything on YouTube is not pirating. I once spent about 4 hours investigating if the “free time” someone had in their video was really free and up for use, and it lead me to a spiral of about 10 other YouTube videos before I found all the sources and got all the permissions so it can get really tricky. Just watch what you like there especially if you can’t find it on regular streaming platforms where you could pay for it.. And it’s perhaps not asking for a payment because it’s old. So just enjoy. |
