MPAA Lawsuits

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/th...t_id=1000706666

I just noticed this article on the Hollywood Reporter homepage. I didn’t realize the movie industry was already taking action against illegally downloading movies off the internet. I thought I would share the news since I know there are a lot of movie lovers here like me. The thought of movies for free is nice, but not worth being sued by the MPAA over.

that's only if the connection speed they are being sent at is fast. It goes both ways, how fast they send, and how fast you recieve. I hear in South Korea download speed is like 10x faster for broadband than the average American home.

and who wouldn't thought....downloading movies illegally could send you to jail. What a surprise...

Well downloading can also be really bad for your computer. My friend has had some issues.

All I'm going to say is that when SW: ROTS comes out, I'm going to watch it several times in the theater, then I'm going to download it and watch that version. When it comes out on DVD I'll buy that as well.

Crime?
