[...] struggling to stay alive.” It’s reminiscent of how NBC Universal’s Rick Cotton lamented back in 2007 about how if it wasn’t for P2P “movie theatres would sell more tickets and [...]

This is surely the most far-fetched and ridiculous statement against p2p that I have seen so far. This guy has a good imagination!

Thank you NBC thank you I needed a reason not to buy popcorn next time I go to the movies.
It’s not bad enough that the popcorn is old dry and greasy you had to then try to use this as a reason to stop p2p.
I already don’t watch your tv shows so now I’ll not be buying any more popcorn.
I thank you and my waist line thanks you too.

Here is an idea if you can’t make people fatter with your gross pop-corn make some ethenal. That way you’re doing us 2 favors not making us less healthy and giving us fuel for our cars to drive to work to pay for the internet which is our window to P2P which in turn makes you tons of money from ethenal. Put it this way we just saved corn-farmers from a drastic shortage and helped preserve oil. I don’t use P2P but then again I have a job that allows me to afford it. I also don’t waste money on 8 dollar bags of 6 hour old popcorn at the theater. My 4 cents.

Not sure who I hate more…the jagovs at NBC Universal or the bloodsucking scum attorneys they’re paying (tons) to come up with these numb-skull arguments. I’m sure that with the money they paid some firm to type that moronic brief they could have bought 750 bushels of corn.

without saying that it’s not because you don’t go to the theatre that you want have pop corns when you watch your P2P DL movie……. or have a soda a hot dog or any junk food….. I mean what’s the connection movies and pop corn….. so what has the theatre to do in that… we can have both at home for cheaper….. an I hate popcorn anyway….. maybe cracker jacks lol

that’s ridiculous to say the least .
but it’s based on the same idiotic comparision .

you could just as easily say that rented dvd’s are robbing poor corn farmers . Or to be more correct : “the free will of the people to choice what they want to eat ” is robbing the corn farmers .

After all we are so evil because we don’t want too stuff ourselves with popcorn 24/7 right ?

If those blind moron’s really cared about American jobs they would have raised hell at the millions of jobs being outsourced to third world countries so that the corporates can earn more. At last count they were 30 million homelss in America and going up as more jobs go out of the US.

Take my advice please do not go to the theaters do not let them rip you with the junk they call movies AND most importantly DO NOT BUY anything not made with American labour. Sure I’ll be buying more expensive but at least the darned product will work.
