I have no problem paying to see movies. I do however have a problem with paying to see a shitty movie. Prove to me that your movie doesn't suck, and isn't the studio milking one more out of an IP.
This guy is so full of shit, besides most of the movies today are garbage anyway - no great loss.
Your argument is bogus. Sorry. Just more pirate bullshit rationalization.
PROOVE the movien isn't shit? Patent that one and you'll be rich.

If they are shit why do people pirate them?
The "movies are shit, that's why I download them" argument is bullshit. If it sucks then it sucks and isn't worth getting one way or the other.
I have to agree with this. Proving a movie is crap is impossible. Read the reviews like everyone else and make a decision on your own.Your argument is bogus. Sorry. Just more pirate bullshit rationalization.

Pretty much. I stopped watching pro sports years ago and am slowly losing touch with movies. I used to be a huge movie buff and now I could give a damn. Very rarely will a movie come out that I must see none the less buy.Movie studios and professional sports - - - two entertainment industries that have lost touch with the average consumer.
So the studios are also thinking THIS:
Movie fans might have to wait to rent new DVD releases

omg what a great idea, let's give the people who are most likely to download movies MORE INCENTIVE by restricting their ability to LEGALLY view them??!!
this is THE BEST opinion on this whole thing, make quality stuff and get cash, make shit, get nothing. this is how the world should work. Although i still hold a grudge against anyone who liked transformers 2, i want $250,000 for the 2.5 hours of my life you got rid of i think that is a reasonable quote
I'm sorry, why would some pay for a good movie but not a bad one if you can get EITHER for free?
Maybe Sony is overstating the case, but overtime I GUARANTEE your going to see ads in movies and what to make up revenue.
People who are going to steal are going to. The ONLY price they are willing to pay no matter what is ZERO!
When was the last time you wanted to buy a movie? I used to try to have a large DVD collection until I realized I had about $800 worth of movies that I would almost never watch again. Then they came out with Blue Ray. And wasn't the price of DVDs supposed to drop lower than that of VHS? I don't think they have... I was younger then so I might not have an accurate account. But I thought VHS sat at about $18-$25.
Let me know
The Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures says pirates are stealing the money they need to make more movies. If you keep pirating movies, pretty soon they wont have the money to make any movies.
If they are shit why do people pirate them?

You can watch high-definition movies from Amazon Video On Demand on your television through compatible devices including: Panasonic VIERA Cast-enabled TVs, the Roku Digital Video Player, TiVo Series3, HD, and HD XL DVRs, and the Sony Bravia Internet Video Link. (HD movies are not currently available for viewing on your computer.)
I heard Sony is estimating 600+ million dollars for MJ death in the form of the This is it documentary.
NONE of it is going to his children
I don't know where you guys get your misconceptions from but take a look at the Sony shareholders report 2009, financials sections, page 36.
http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/8ido180000023hx1-att/SonyAR09-07.pdf
Sony Pictures made only $325 Million on $7.8 Billion revenue(only about 4%).
Bottomline...yes because of a lower return on investment due to piracy they do not have unlimited funds to spend producing movies.
Pirates can keep complaining about how the movies are crappy and that is why they pirate them because that logic is so infalible.

This is absolutely and completely untrue. There are millions of people who both pirate and purchase, they are not mutually exclusive. Stop throwing around bogus "facts".

Your post is FUD. Can you prove to me that people who pirated the movie would have otherwise bought it?
I never said that some people don't do both. What I said that some people are going to STEAL period. That IS a fact. And remember, a lot of these people are stealing for PROFIT!
And don't tell me that you don't know people that pirate EVERYTHING.
Can you prove to me that a person who STOLE a movie would pay ANYTHING for it? With all things being equal if a person has a choice to pay something vs nothing, no matter the price a lot of people are going to pay ZERO.
The real question is is that number on the rise? Maybe not, but it's a fact that a lot of people are pirating for money, that's RAMPANT.
