Piracy

ahh.. the sweet piracy... don't we all love it??

video

this just takes the piss.... of the apparently new anti-piracy ads in US... video

so lets look at which one makes more sense... the original one is very annoying... the sound track is not the best one... it is like for the some suspense bit in the movie, but nothing... no action... just some bullshit..
I would not say that one should not educate people.... but you do make people watch it all over and over again just for the kicks.. It is like we don't know that....
but at the end of the day.. DVD costs like what... 10, 15, 20 bucks.. somewhere around that area.. but than you can go and get pirated one for what? like 5er i believe.. correct me if I am wrong... but anyway it is half the price or less.. and let us not fool ourselves here.... they make profit, otherwise why the fuck would they do it?
so we come to the question why such difference in the price?
and of course it is safe to assume that pirates have almost no overhead... no expenses other than price of a blank DVD... and it is true... in a way... but at the same time aren't all big DVD pressing/burning places where they burn all the movies supposed to be so productive as to beat the pirate in per disc cost? isn't that the point of having such?
otherwise why not have many people popping DVD in the drive and burn them that way?

So the production is not the issue... according to common sense...
Of course reason to release a DVD is to make money and offset the cost of making the movie... but that much of price difference? doesn't seem fair... but on a second look it is all clear... they need to make money to pay for licenses to use copy protection, for someone to fight on their behalf to protect them and make such stupid and silly ads like this...
so what to do they gained? higher prices, consumer aware of alternative - piracy. and increased use of piracy.


but than there is the parody one... it is silly and enjoyable, so you can have a laugh when watching and still the point travels across very clearly as well... don't pirate...

so anyway.. hope this made some sense and choose the option that you like the best.... limited usage legal copy or free of bullshit pirated one... or just use more internet.. :D
