So you think pirating the film was a good idea because it helped it's box office, nevermind the fact that those "comic book fans" were already chomping at the bit to see the film on the big screen after seeing the legally sanctioned trailers, so in reality watching a pirated copy beforehand had nothing to to with box office being bigger and everything to do with box office being smaller as a large percentage of those who watched the pirated copy were no longer compelled to go to the theater or buy the dvd.

But you do think pirating should be prosecuted.

So how is life as a two headed snake? When you ooze snake oil I suspect you resell that as well?
