Why Does People Share Crappy Files?

I may be fucked-up, but I can´t really understand WHY people are sharing crappy files??...
A good example:
I have been looking for "about schmidt" (moviefile) and found recently that the files only existed in "TMD" format...with 2 files at about 160 mb each...I downloaded it and tried to watch, but the quality was in my opinion too lousy, so I deleted them again....
I am a vivid filmlover and enjoys watching a good film, but not at any costs!,-
Even if the movie is free (aka filesharing) I really don´t understand why anybody would like to see such poor quality (knowing its a bad file/quality size)...why not wait for the "right" size files and then share thoose???....after I deleted the small files I found the new moviefile in a very good quality (718 mb) just last week and weeks before it has premiere here in denmark..

I my opinion a good quality moviefile is AT LEAST 700 mb pr. 1½ hour...
I couldn´t dream of sharing poor quality and I delete it whereever I "catch" them...

My point being...is it just because it´s FREE, that "anything" goes??? <_<

you missed my point ;)

i see this all the time and I&#39;m always asking myself why would anyone keep a program on their computer if its not the real thing?

yesterday i was searching for the sims online and seen where 250 users had the file and the file size is 225,698kb so i think this should be the real thing because 250 people had the file. so i download it and when i opened it, it turned out to be a game called empire earth. so if any of you are trying to find the sims online stay away from that file size.

for all you people that have these bogus files FUCK ALL OF YOU&#33;&#33;&#33;
its people like you that fuck up filesharing for the rest of us.
why cant you dumbasses use real filenames???????
do you think that because you rename another program to something new that noone else has that they are going to look at you like your some big bad computer god? NO instead they are going to see you for the dumbass you really are&#33;&#33;

when i catch files like these i rename them to what they really are then i put in caps in the filename for example the sims online THIS IS NOT THE SIMS ONLINE ITS REALLY EMPIRE EARTH.
then i will message some of the users and ask them why the fuck they are so stupid to keep files that aren&#39;t the real thing.

Yes i totally agree, it is stupid and i dont no why these people share these files.

Perhaps Noobs see DareDevil (Full Movie) and download it. :o

Perhaps some people have a dial up conection and would&#39;nt dare try downloading (718 mb) as it would take

them weeks. :(

Perhaps people change the file names to get a higher participation level.

Just a thought ;)

:D I think their all on crack. :D

i agree 100% FC


i can see maybe 10 or 15 people having bullshit files but when 250 users have the same bullshit file then you realize there are as many fucking idiots in the world as you thought&#33;

I reckon half of them have&#39;nt even looked at what they&#39;ve downloaded and the other half are so f**king stupid they don&#39;t understand what they are watching or playing. :angry:

Looks like you agreed 200% :lol:

i know right?
for some reason when i clicked on add reply it came up with a cant find page so i hit it again thus the double post.

I think thats not really the point of the post. Its not about fakes, its about poorquality movies.

I have a poor quality copy of Ice Age and its good enough for me. Of course i also like high quality copies better but for some movies it ok even if its "just" poor quality.

I get it to evertime time i post a reply, they say its a server prob ;)

What is TMD format?

Tmd is not a format, its just some matey&#39;s name,who gets films and other files on Mirc and other P2P

programs.

Do you mean VIVID as in &#39;VIVID Video productions&#39;?
-Just Kidding

I agree with you. When I first started using KaZaALite, I downloaded some of those crappy TMD movies and deleted them instantly.

I remember downloading a Star Wars movie, and you can see and hear the people in the movie theter. What huge big brown pile of stinky wet crap that file was&#33;

Go here for a good laugh&#33;

My two cents on the poor quality issue is that it is in order to allow more people to get it quicker.
my two cents on the fake file issue goes as follows

&^%%&#036;&#33;*^&#036;@*^%&#036;^%&#036;*^%#&#036;@*^%%&#036;(&@^%*(%&#036;&#33;@*&#33;&#036;%#&*^(@&#33;(&^%^&@%&#036;&#33;^&#036;#&^(&#33;%&%(&^&#036;&%&#036;@&#33;%(&#33;@&^%)&&#33;@%&#036;&&#33;^%&&#33;^%&#33;&*^%(^&&#33;%*&#036;@^)(*#)&^@&@^%&#036;&^@(*&@()^&#036;@%(&%&#036;(&@%@^(@&%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%(@*&%@*(&%*)&#33;@%*#)@&@#@&#036;%^&*(@(*^*(&@%)*&@^*&)^@*)&&^*)@%)*@^%*&@%^*@%(&^%@)^)@(&%)@%^&#036;*@&^)&#33;*&%)^@*&#036;)%*@&)*&%&#33;&^%#&#33;*&&#33;%&*)%&#33;&*)&#33;%)&#036;&#33;&)%&#036;&#33;*%)*&#33;&#036;&%&#33;)@*&%^#&#33;(&#036;%^%&#036;)*%^&#33;&#036;*&^%&&#33;^%(*&#33;*^)@*)%&@(&%(&@^%(@)^%&*&#33;#%)&#036;&#33;&^)&@&#33;%^&*&#33;&#036;*^%@@^*%&&^@%*&&#036;@)&#036;^@*&#^%#@&%)*&&#33;@#*&&#33;@%&#036;^%@&*)^#@*&&#33;@^%^%&#036;@)*&^)*&%@&#036;@#)^%#@&(&#036;%&#036;@&)*^%@&@%%&@&#036;(%@
