Top Ten reasons why pirates don't care about HD DVD rips

[Jorge]

Ok, so now we know that it is indeed possible to backup and distribute your HD DVD videos (and Blu-ray Discs will probably soon follow suit). But does it matter? Is there actually a demand for HD DVD video files? Do pirates care about HD DVD rips or HD video files? Let ’s take a look at some of the reasons why pirates do NOT care about HD DVD rips.. (Digg and comment this)

[the great one]

I won't be downloading HD DVD rips just for the fact that uploading the file back to ratio of 1/1 would take forever with my upload speed.

I agree with most of the points of this article with the exception of the video playback software,even if people weren't willing to buy it; they would just download it.

I'm going to stick with DVD downloads for a LONG time

meh they are ok

but im impatient

with usenet i can only get about 46 gig per 24 hours on my connection

but i can get a 700mb xvid in 12 minutes

so sod hd... for now

.

Yeah I agree that even on usenet, HD DVD is not for me, just takes too long. I will download a smaller file when there is an alternative....and right now I don't think HD DVD will be the dominant format for a while.

I would not even THINK of downloading a HD DVD file on some private site like torrentbytes! It would take forever to up back...SCREW THAT!

I agree, it takes too long to dl these files. Why do i need them when dvd rips look fine on my 42 inch plasma?

When the bandwidth is there, maybe. But HD rips are the future for the higher ups in p2p...

[mdp123]

HD DVD's would only be good if the movie/series was really really spectacular, but other than that, it would be better off anyway by downloading DVD rips as it is now then wasting time.

[MoonMan]

I would never ever take the time to download an HD DVD rip. The sheer amount of space for something that only looks marginally better than a regular DVD rip is ridiculous.

Kinda sounds like pirates do not like the new HD or Blue Ray formats anymore than they do Microsoft Vista! LOL!


Mabye it is a new strategy to fight piracy for people who make music, movies or software....make it so BAD people don't even WANT it! Of course you won't make a heck of a lot of money that way....still....you won't have to worry about your product being pirated. HA! HA!
