Re: Bootlegs
I steal branch's carmel while I am grocery shopping and green beans sometimes.
I also feel like I am entitled to see 2 movies for the price of 1 when I do go to the movies.

folks, we've all stole one way or another throughout our lives
yeah, but why keep doing it if you have a choice?
sometimes you don't even realize it till you have done it

Re: Bootlegs
The studio is not the ones who suffer the most from this.
Its the PA's (and other "lowley" film positions) and such on the studio's next movies who don't get paid as much because they had to cut salaries.
The studio is not going to cut the stars salary because the star is one of the two main reasons the public will see that next movie.

but when you realize it it stealing, why would you keep doing it?
i undertsand people unknowingly do things that are illegal, but i dont understand why they would continue doing it after they found out.

I didn't write the above statement, but I agreed with it. You asked our opinions... why are you trying to change the minds of those who disagree with you?
i am not..this has been a debate..i am not trying to change anyones mind...just engaging in a discussion like everyone else

I know I have... technically downloading movies and music for free is stealing so then for me that's a yes... but maybe if they would offer discounts on crappy movies or sub-par music I would reconsider 
Like if J.Lo puts out a CD and she admits that yeah, it really was crappy and she only worked on it for 2 weeks then WE should get a DISCOUNT!!

Growing up my Mom always used to go through the produce department and eat all the grapes and cherries ... she was just making sure they were "good" I think we should LOCK HER UP!

And when people would do that when I was a cashier I would LEAN on the scale to charge them for what they ate  I am a ******.

Re: Bootlegs
I personally dont buy them because the quality is pretty bad from what I have heard so its a waste of money but I think that just because piracy is illegal, people might as well buy them if they want to.
And as far as the bags... I LOVE my Canal St. LV.

Re: Bootlegs
NO I do not think its wrong- Only because I do not like to support movies being made at 10 million dollars( who am I kidding 100 million dollars) and paying an actress 7 million for a few months work.
Now I believe that actor and actress's are talented people, deserving to be paid, but I DONT AGREE with what has become of the movie/entertainment business.
It sickens me these people have more money then they will ever need, and people are working their TAILS off to support families in other ways. I think that they shoudl get paid as much as every other single folk working today..SO I BUY BOOTLEG.
well ok..DH buys them, I cant watch them, makes me sick to stomach, never had a really good one.

thats fine and great if the actors and actresses are the ones who feel the effect..instead its the first and second AD, its the lighting people, its the sound people...and all the other peopel that are making 20 grand and trying to make it in LA.
If you don't want to pay for 100 million dollar movies than don't watch them AT ALL!

Re: Bootlegs
How are you guys telling DM24nngel not to watch the movies at all? Just because she doesn't agree with actors getting paid so much, still doesn't mean that she can't appreciate the movie.
If there's a PPV fight on, and I pay for it, and I invite a whole bunch of people over to watch it, does that mean that they should pay ME because they 'stole' it by watching it on my tv?
Personally, I can't stand watching bootleg movies, because most of them are bad... but I have seen a few good versions and am proud that I didn't spend on them (they were borrowed).
