If DVD's and cinema tickets were considerably cheaper

[Sylar666]

I'd stick to my collection, anyway! It's cozier to watch movies at home. Speaking of what - DVD is almost past tense nowadays.

i guess i won't ... in home i can pause the movie go pee and continue
plus the annoying ppl in the cinemas

well in my area theater tix are very expensive....usually for a nice night out with a girl its over 40$ (tix, popcorn, drinks, etc). Used to be ~25 so i definitely go less often but there are some movies you have to watch in theaters to get full experience, so while i go less often, i still go depending on quality of film.
Same applies to DVDs. I continue to buy/support quality films.

I go out of my way to not support those Stone Age fucks. I lost faith in the entertainment industry a long time ago and it would take considerable measures on their side to persuade me to ever trusting them again for anything. I mean a long time before the whole OiNK takedown (which was the last drop) etc.

That being said, I have no problem going out of my way to support independent and/or local artists and entertainment.

I would go to the cinema to watch instead of getting a cam,ts,r5 etc but I would still download it later.

[AkaiDoresu]

No I would not. I go to cinema on regular basis, and happens to me to buy a DVD. I'd love to to it more often though

If I truly like a film, I will buy the DVD. If I truly like an artist, I will buy the CD or download from iTunes.

What I don't want to do is to pay money for something that turns out to be crap. This is where filesharing comes in. If we like something, we can make a conscious choice to pay for it, and if we don't, we won't.

The simple fact is that the entertainments industry (films, music and games) has had a complacent audience for far too long. Thrusting games on us that are bug ridden and need repeated updates to work, shoving music albums down our throats where the only decent track is the one placed on the radio stations, and rubbing our faces in films so dire that the only good parts of the film were the parts used for the trailer.

If we made a crap purchase in any other area, there would be cause to complain, and we would. Trading standards agencies can also take action against manufacturers and producers who fail to provide value for money. Unfortunately, due to the medium involved (audio, visual or gaming experience), it is hard to define when a product (film, CD or game) is value for money or not.

So, filesharing fills a much needed service where people can try before they buy.

I wish there is system in downloading that we download anything we need but we pay a little fee.. For example, movie entertainments have agree with torrent sites, torrent sites have a payment system like 10$ per month. We pay 10$ to download rights. It would be cheap and legal. And both sides can have profit. Basic calculation: If World have at least 2.000.000 torrent user (only Zamunda have 850.000 ) it means 20.000.000$ per month. And they pay for movies for their downloading rate. If there is a movie, it have downloaded the sites 5% of total download amount. They can take 5% of 20.000.000..

I do go out to movies at least a couple of times a month. I know it's a quite dire but birds love it. I mean a night out its always better than a night in doors, init? I havent seen a film on my pc for ages... although I ve got at least 400 GB of films on my pc.
About DVD's i recon its just waste of money, I have rented a few films before but I d never buy one, cause the dvd will get recked sooner or later and its like throwing money on the window... and also, how many times can you watch a film, ai?

[The Flying Cow]

Many times, I've seen Layer Cake 20+

Always enjoy it just as much.
