p.s. the point at which the movie industry should stop making money from a particular movie should also be the point at which the reproduction of movies by others should cease to be piracy.

What I’m wondering is, with all this torrent downloading and purchase of pirated movies, how is it that actors, actresses, producers, directors, etc, can still afford to live a life of gross indulgence and luxury? If they can still make this much with piracy across the globe, how much more were they overcharging the masses before piracy?

I think the definition of ‘movie piracy’ should be extended to include those copies made by the movie industry for sale that enables them to make more than they ought. It shouldn’t be a case only of whom makes the copies, but how much can be made from copies, even if they are made by the producers of movies themselves. Beyond that point, it is piracy.

What needs to stop is lobbying by any and all special interests. If a politician is found in the company of, accepting even a drink of water from, having dinner with (even if that person is a relative), or anything that can be in the slightest way thus so, they should be convicted of a Federal crime (felony), serve a mandatory minimum of ten yrs in prison. ELECTED OFFICIALS SHOULD BE HELD TO AN INFINITELY HIGHER STANDARD THAN ANYONE ELSE! This would solve a lot of our nations problems, if the people of this nation had an ounce of heart and any ability to formulate their own collective opinion, things could change……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… NNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] with all movie studios, Fox is of the opinion that making a copy of your movie for yourself makes you a terrible human being. What’s next…you’ll want to rip [...]

“I disagree. DVDs may be expensive but you are stealing from the makers by buying a pirated DVD.”

The point is backing up DVDs legally (considering fair use, something like that, IMO, should be legal). Just because a piece of DVD copying software is allowable in the US doesn’t mean that people will be buying pirated DVDs. Such a thing already exists and legalizing this software won’t make a single hint of difference on how much pirated DVDs get bought and sold.

“Put it this way. If you do not buy the proper DVDs then the movie industry will go bust. NO MORE MOVIES! Is that a good thing?”

The movie industry have been enjoying record profits all this time. If so-called “piracy” hasn’t killed the movie industry this past decade, what’s going to change now? Besides, there’s something called the box office and theatres. Might want to check in to how much money the movie industry makes off of those things.

You can forget about making any point, as your entire post uses faulty logic.
