    MPAA AND BITTORRENT

    That's true, If they cut the funds on movies the movies will probably get worse in alot of aspects. Actors get alot of money for movies often but they will not give their money up for cheaper movies either. I guess this is why no one can find a good solution for this problem, there really isn't one.

    The real reason i think it's expensive is because i get virtually no money at all, to me it seems as younger people, mainly students are having money problems with this, once you get a job your income increases however you have to pay for your own place eventually.... From someone that got experience, is it as big of a problem once you have a job as it is when you go to school and haven't gotten a part time job yet? Or is it just people being extremly cheap just because they can?
    that's actually a good question. I used to be super frugal for the longest time. Weighing expenses for even small things. Now that I work fulltime though, I have no problem impulse-spending $30 every few days or so.

    i didnt say they were going to be able to stop us, but people shouldn't be crying about it when they try. downloading a dvd is the same as shoplifting it from a store.

    Wrong. The only wrong doing is ripping and uploading a movie and distributing it over the web. Downloaders are only taking what's being given away for free.

    However, if a person who WOULD'VE bought a movie had they not the means to download it downloaded it, then its still wrong for them as well.

    My justification is that most of the stuff i download i wouldn't buy anyway.

    I agree. There are too many animes/movies/songs out there that the average person probably wouldnt be able to buy half the stuff he/she wanted
