Poetry? Like hackers give a crap about poetry.

Nice :lol: It's just a little easter egg on the way to Pirating.

[BlackDrop]

Ahoy, you will ne'er be able t' stop the pirates, gar!


(You can learn how to speak like a pirate (http://www.talklikeapirateday.com/translate/index.php) too!)

They can ask nicely all they want, my answer will be a very nice no.

I tell you what IS annoying, DVDs coming out whereby instead of trailers taking up the first 5 minutes of your viewing experience, it's something about how bad pirating is. I mean, I'VE BOUGHT THE FRIGGING DVD, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!? :bang:

Honestly, it must drive people to piracy just to remove the buggers!

[Hamma]

I know that is starting to get out of hand. It's like movie theatre's and watching actual COMMERCIALS in them now. People are paying for the movie, they don't care about your propaganda and commercials.

Man that pisses me off to no end.

I think the solution is to make more movies that people actually want to pay for. As for the Apple thing, I think it's done in humor. Apple no doubt realizes that it won't stop the most determined.

I thought movie quality only affected how soon they're placed on torrent/newsgroups? :p

This is true - they keep coming out with the same shit over and over - or remakes of old movies that should be left alone.

:lol: I hope not

I know everything just hast to have a sequel nowadays, Big Momma's House II, MI:3, The Transporter 2 ................. the list goes on. The whole world has gone commercial on me.

The whole world has gone commercial on me.
:confused: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[WildEagle]

everything is built on making money, not to actually be enjoyed

[Lartnev]

I enjoyed Mission: Impossible and MI:2.... MI:3 looks just as good :)

But when movies cost x million dollars to make, film companies need to work with a tried and tested formula to make 10x million dollars from it to make the next film.
