Obviously, he hasn't tried CPiggy. For the low, low price of $199, you may obliterate those who fall into the "won't miss" category into oblivion. Think about it. Pay Simplex and then come back. Personally, I'm using it but I'm not paying Simplex. I know a man of Tim's scruples would feel obligated to send Simplex a nice check though.

80's flashback!!!!

Patty Smyth Goodbye to You Lyrics
Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know you never got by "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love...
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye baby
So long darling

Man, I'm gonna miss FMB. From a n00b standpoint, he was one of a handfull of folks on here that seemed to give a shit about me, personally as opposed to just the topic at hand. He also always respected my opinion. I didn't ever see anything wrong with the guy.

Well, I read less than half of that thread (and don't plan to go back), so maybe he was just reporting the link, though it was hard to tell. As long as he didn't mention the planet, then I don't care what he did, as that could end up in us losing game video (even though I really haven't been to interested in them this season).

Naughty: uh, pardon me, sir, some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away. Philosophical: you know, it's not the size of a nose that's important, it's what's IN IT that matters. Humorous: laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze, and it's goodbye, Seattle! Commercial: hi, I'm Earl Scheib, and I can paint that nose for $39.95! Polite: uh, would you mind not bobbing your head? The, uh, orchestra keeps changing tempo. Melodic: Everybody. He's got...
...The whole world in his nose!

That dolly grip is likely paid on an hourly basis. And certainly not one to receive money from royalties, which is where piracy makes an impact. By the time a movie is pirated, that dolly grip has been paid all the money he's going to see from that film.

For every famous spoiled multi-millionaire douchebag actor there are hundreds of people behind the scenes who are neither rich nor famous busting their asses. Every industry has its haves and have nots. I certainly don't live in a multi-million dollar house just because some of my bosses do. A job is a job. Do you think the guys who clean up the seating area at Arrowhead after the game are having their cake and eating it too because the players are rich?

Of course, crew members are also paid according to a union scale wage, Mr. KC Fish, which means that a film's revenue has almost zero impact on how much they make. However, if film piracy reached a level that affected future budgets, shooting schedules, and crew requirements, our dolly grip could see his/her income reduced due to cutbacks based on lowered revenue expectations. That's where scale gets fishy and things get tight for the grip.

Don't steal or else there might not be a tango and cash 2, or we might be out of another movie reviewer. Oh No!

See, I LIVED through that SH*T.

I moved out to Los Angeles because it was the only place for me to go for a career in music (Nashville's not my thing and NYC isn't either). I worked crappy jobs, lived in apartments that were filled with cockroaches (and often work up with them crawling on me), ants, crackwhore apartment managers, working at freakin' Guitar Center, dealing with drugged-out band members (heroin) and so on and so forth. I spent Christmas of 1993 ALONE in my sh*thole apartment, with gunshots and helicopters going off all night. I went through a breakup with a girl from KC who came out with me (and left after 6 weeks because she couldn't take LA) and all sorts of other crap. And I mean CRAP. (My crappy car got broke into 3 times, I lost my only TV during the Northridge Earthquake and had to sell guitars to pay rent).

But 10 years after I moved out here, I now live in a great neighborhood, own a beautiful house and have been married for 6 years. Life if great (if not amazing). But I'll never forget what I had to go through to get to this point. Living off of credit cards, living off of $7 dollars a week for groceries, riding the Los Angeles Metro Bus for 18 months (and having a lady puke on me one day) and being dirt poor.

Doesn't mean they make millions of dollars for doing it. Forgive me if I'm not upset that entertainers may have their salaries lowered. Let's not pretend that piracy is going to make you homeless.

You're right there. Only option would be to go on strike and demand more money. Or choose a different career I guess. Everyone is trying to make a dollar off of everyone else, I just don't feel sorry for those that have the most dollars to begin with. If I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole. I'm just going to save my pity for those that have nothing, and can't seem to get past that.

Nice rationalization. Maybe you should *think* before spewing such inane, immature bullsh*t.

I have many, many friends that work "behind the scenes". Production coordinators, craft services, gaffers and set designers. If piracy in the entertainment business were to continue and cut profits, the trickle effect would be disastrous. Those people would have reduced salaries or lose their jobs altogether. How would they afford their mortgages or their car payments? How about their children?

Next time you watch a feature film, watch the credits. While there may be two or three "topline stars", there are HUNDREDS of people whose job is it to bring these movies to life. And believe me, they are FAR from millionaires.

Think about that. In addition, it is ILLEGAL.

I think the bigger problem is the quality of the work.

I can't think of anything playing right now I'd want to pirate. For free.

I know King's "The Mist" will suck but I liked the story so I'll likely go anyway. Outside of that I'm just not impressed. I'd say the same for music. Outside of Tool/Perfect Circle I haven't bought an album since 98 or so.

And I suppose the two are related. The more crap Hollywood puts out the more people get pissed off at the ticket booth. The more pissed they get the more likely they are to rent/pirate movies. I'm not saying it's right or fair but the overall quality of product has been lacking of late...

It's not an argument Dane. Reading comprehension must be a problem for you. I'm not arguing that it's ok to pirate. I'm saying I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Just so we're clear.

Forgive me if I focus my pity on the working class who don't have adequate health care to pay for medical expenses incurred through a life time of labor, rather than the multi millionaires who have to move out of their castles and take their kids out of their private schools. Again, I'm convinced the trickle down of piracy will affect top line stars, no one else. Without the grunts, you don't have the movie. Those guys will get paid, it doesn't cost much to pay them. All of them put together don't make what Brad Pitt does for the tripe that's put out.

[DaneMcCloud]

I think the bigger problem is the quality of the work.

I can't think of anything playing right now I'd want to pirate. For free.

I know King's "The Mist" will suck but I liked the story so I'll likely go anyway. Outside of that I'm just not impressed. I'd say the same for music. Outside of Tool/Perfect Circle I haven't bought an album since 98 or so.

And I suppose the two are related. The more crap Hollywood puts out the more people get pissed off at the ticket booth. The more pissed they get the more likely they are to rent/pirate movies. I'm not saying it's right or fair but the overall quality of product has been lacking of late...

I really don't think that's what drives piracy. People need to be entertained. People like going to the movie theater. But once something is "free", there's a certain segment of the population who feel entitled to receive music or movies for free. There's been bad music and bad movies forever. But until the Internet Age, profits weren't affected.

For example, many here are familiar with Radiohead's decision to allow people to download their latest release for whatever they'd like to pay. As it turns out, 62% of the so-called "fans" downloaded it for free. The other 38% paid on average, $6.02 per album download. That's significantly less than the $14.99 price it would have in a retail outlet.

Why?

Because there's an entire generation (if not two) that feel that music and movies should be free. Therefore, music and movies have NO value to these people. It has NOTHING to do with the quality of the product. It's that since it's available for "free", there's no worth attached to the product, good or bad.

It may not affect the movie business in the short term but if piracy were to grow and affect the "bottom line", it'll definitely affect long-term planning and decision making. Which ultimately will mean less movies.

Amen to that! The last movie I saw in a theater was Braveheart. I now wait until it comes out of DVD and watch at home. Even at $15-$17 to purchase the DVD it is still cheaper than going to the theater. Money saved has gone into my home theater system, plus I now have one heck of a collection of movies.

The movie business is well aware of the DVD phenomenon (I own over 300 DVD's). As a matter of fact, the business depends on revenue from DVD sales.

DVD sales are roughly double the box office. So if a film does $100 million at the theater, it's likely to do $200 million in DVD sales.

There are many amazing movie theaters in Hollywood but I only visit one: Arclight Cinemas on the corner of Sunset & Vine. It's the only theater in the area that has two full bars and a restaurant inside the complex.

It's almost as good as home theater. Accept that the restrooms are further away.

I hardly ever go to the movies. I always wait until it comes out on DVD. Then I can relax at home in my Lazy Boy rather than walking through sticky aisles, smelly seats and screaming kids. The food is much cheaper AND better at home and I can have a beer with my movie.

Reminds me of a demographic report I saw somewhere recently, that boiled down to music/movie purchases now being a form of brand validation. Basically, there might be a ton of file sharing, but it's increasingly for things the listener/viewer otherwise wouldn't give a shit about. If they like the artist/actor/project, they purchase it to say "I support this. . . "

Really there's so many options for our entertainment minutes in the day, that even absent file sharing, schlock would be seeing decreased revenues.

I know I've become very selective in my purchases. I guess my Netflix subscription counts as a base purchase rate for DVDs, but CDs and movies out, have to compete with whatever's streamingfrom/DVRed on my 250 channels of HDTV, 150 some-odd channels of Siruis, youtube, AM/FM, Net Radio, etc., etc.

If they'd stop paying some douchebag $20 million to star in the things, maybe they wouldn't seed quite as much "mass appeal".

The theater here can show 12 films at once. Maybe the studios should focus more on filling those 12 spots with a little variety.

I'm sorry but this just isn't true. They offered a reduced bit-rate download, allowing people to pay any price they felt comfortable with paying. 62% paid nothing. Regardless of the cost involved in producing the record, regardless of the time and effort put forth to compose and produce the record and regardless of the cost to host the downloadable files, an overwhelming majority of people felt that the music was worthless.

WORTHLESS.

They weren't compelled to pay the artist for their work. I think that says more about the value of music and this generation's feeling of entitlement than any statement about the music industry.

To me, that's very, very sad.

Additionally, Radiohead is in negotiations to sign a worldwide record deal and their box set for this CD will cost $82.00. Not $19.99 or $17.99 or $14.99. $82.00.

I began playing guitar when I was four. I LOVED music my whole life. My dad played music and is in the Kansas Music Hall of Fame. I listened to the radio constantly while growing up. My uncle owned a recording studio and introduced me to music that my father didn't.

As I grew older, I began to mow yards, shovel snow, wash dishes and sack groceries. During that time, I bought guitars, amps and PA systems. I played grade school, junior high and high school dances and parties.

As a kid, no one loved music more than I did. Where did I get my music? At record stores!

Seventh Heaven, Tiger's Records and Peaches. I worked and saved my money so I could buy the latest Rush, Ozzy, Black Sabbath and Rainbow albums. No one gave them to me for free. No one stole music and then gave it to me. I worked as a teenager and PURCHASED my own records (trust me, my parents had 3 other children to provide for - buying me a guitar and amp, let alone records was impossible).

Music is something that should NOT be "free". The expense of developing, recording, producing, mastering and promoting a band is astronomical. The "Artist" doesn't receive any royalties until those expenses are paid back to the record company.

Movies cost even more and the expenses are absolutely outrageous. While a great low-budget movie comes along every blue moon, most cost in the tens of millions if not a hundred million to make. It's a gamble for the studio.

I don't and will never understand while people feel "entitled" to free movies and music.

Never.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure about that. The Peaches that I knew had brand new releases and I knew the A&D people from the record labels that actually stocked the shelves. If they were sold at a reduced rate, the artists and songwriters would still be paid (albeit at a reduced rate.

Tigers, I have no idea. I heard years later (after my early teens) that his store was front for "friends of ours". I don't know if there's any truth to that or not. But the bottom line was that I was going to a retail store to purchase music with my hard earned, minimum wage earned dollars.
