Star Wars pirating

Started by vader5196 pages

I really hate piracy. I mean we all want RTOS to break $400 million, but the boxoffcie has slowed down alot since more people are downloading it off the internet.

The box office sales have slowed down because it's been out over a month now, that always happens to movies. ROTS is no exception.

Also, if you read this article (scroll down to where it says "Company Claims it was Slandered by MPAA"😉, you'll see that they greatly exaggerate how much money is lost by pirating.

Not that I'm condoning it, or anything, but obviously pirating hasn't hurt ROTS that much. After all, how many box office records did it shatter?

any person who watches a pirate crappy copy on the PC or TV of ROTS is not a fan and will not go see it in a theater anyway so there is no loss of money there. here's an example I downloaded the War of the Worlds soundtack last night and listened to it, if it was good I would go and buy it but it is not that great so I won't, I could wait and go into the store and ask to listen to it before I buy it and with this one I wouldn't of bought it. same goes for the movies

So long as you still pay to see the movie before you bootleg, that is fine by me. That is what I did, I saw it 3 times before I got my bootleg.

Now, if you will excuse me, Order 66 is fixing to occur. 😄 😛

SITH has made over $350 million dollars nationwide. After this weekend it will be the 10th highest grossing motion picture of all time. Explain to me how bootlegging hurt this fiilm's gross?

If anything...there is better competition this year. Right now, I would rather seen Batman for a second time than SITH for the fifth time. Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a great freakin' movie too. I still haven't seen Cinderella Man and will probably see that before seeing SITH Again.

As far as comparing it to TPM, I saw that around 17 times in the theatre. I liked it a lot more and coud stand to see it over and over. AOTC I only saw 9 times or so...maybe 10. I got bored with it. I've seen SITH 4 times in the theatre, twice at home...and even though I have a clean DVD rip...I haven't watched it because I am bored as all hell with the movie.

I think more goes into SITH's box office than OMG...people bootlegging. In fact, I think bootlegging has little to no effect on theatre grosses.

could someone PM me the kashyyk battle from when the dragonfly flies to the beach to the point when yoda dodges stray blast

No one is going to send you any clips from the bootleg, stop asking.

whoa was i asking you

Dude, constantly asking for an illegal video in this forum will get you banned. There are ways to get it, its just not here.

ok

Same here, makes no difference at all, why do people care anyways? I've seen it once, paid my money and if I got the chance to get a dvd now, I'd take it.

Do you mind the running counter at the top? Still a cool copy.

Can you imagine what it might have done if it had come out some time other than the summer? I'm happy with what it's done already, but Lucas is making plenty of money in merchandise too (got my Monopoly game).

Look, I have spent SO much many on Star Wars stuff, AND I will buy the official DVD the day it comes out (as well as all likely subsequent box sets) that if I want to watch a bootleg, I will!! I mean, you know, IF I had one.
😇

Yep, I got the Anakin light saber that changes from blue to red and makes sounds at Wal Mart for $15.33 also!
