    "Fast and Furious" Pirate gets jail time.

    Good for him ?..

    A computer programmer who filmed Fast & Furious 6 from the back of a cinema and then uploaded it to the Internet has been jailed for almost three years.

    The pirated copy of the film was downloaded 779,000 times, costing one of Hollywood?s biggest filmmakers more than $4 million.

          so they calculated the price of movie and number of downloaded times, and then they found out how big damage it made? i would say maybe one percent of the people will go to watch it in the cinema, the rest just downloaded, saved to hdd and never will watch it anyway, as most of the people are doing but yeah, three years of jail ...

                              He stole it and uploaded it on release day. That's damaging.

                              My sites, and other sites, have a thief that steals the day of a new update and uploads to file lockers. They haven't been taught to give a shit and they don't care about putting hard working small studios out of business. They think every studio is rich and can afford to give away everything for free

                              Oh and then the people who download the stolen videos email us and ask for custom stuff and what they want to see in the future. When asked for member info, either silence or say they didn't pay lol

                                          Christopher Loach, defending, said: "He has no real qualifications and is not a man of means. He has no substantial assets of any sort,"

                                          "his real motive was “street cred.”

                                          Jeez, nothing to his name and motivated by street cred - what a useless twat.

                                              Maybe you've caught one or the other. Are you finding yourself with a sudden craving for some fried chicken and a spot of looting, or a cup of tea and a game of cricket?

You'd think they would have come up with a way to trace the leak source of these high quality rips by now.


                                                                              but, i suppose now they have the precedent of equating downloads directly to lost revenue, if they didn't have it before

Kinda surprised porn peddlers cheer this on like it's gonna change anything for them. Not gonna happen guys, hollywood has deep pockets and they only care about their own $100 million making crapfest CGI shit. The love isn't mutual.

The thief's recording means that $11,685,000 in lost potential initial revenue, not including the sales of drinks and popcorn that the theatres depend on, and not including people who might pay to see it again, and not including sales of DVD or Blueray, and not including licensing to TV movie channels and TV stations in the future.

                                                                                          The guy knew exactly what he was doing. He stole, he sold, he profited.

                                                                                                      Add to the fact that the ones who would actually go to cinema would not spoil the fun by watching crappy CAM copy...

Some of those people would wait to see it on dvd or cable. Some people will be annoyed with the quality and go to the theater. Others will use the downloaded copy as a preview to see if it is worth watching in theaters. A cam copy of a movie is not going to affect sales that much unless the movie is terrible.

I'm an independent artist, and piracy is keeping me well bellow the poverty level... at least I can be cynical about it...

                                                                                                                                              but look at how much mula that movie made... is it that bad to make some poor schmuck's day who can't afford to cough up $15 for a movie ticket and $20 for a small popcorn? ...or doesn't even have a theater in his town?

                                                                                                                                              the world should not be so concerned about pennies & dimes, cos otherwise the wars that plague it will never stop.

They haven't been taught to give a shit and they don't care about putting hard working small studios out of business. They think every studio is rich and can afford to give away everything for free

When asked for member info, either silence or say they didn't pay lol

I'm an independent artist, and piracy is keeping me well bellow the poverty level... at least I can be cynical about it...

                                                                                                                                                                  the world should not be so concerned about pennies & dimes, cos otherwise the wars that plague it will never stop.

It is a CIVIL MATTER and NOT a criminal matter. He should have been sued, not arrested. Dumbfucks supporting this are the same morons who smoke weed and then vote for politicians who think they're criminals and want to put them in jail. Fucking morons.

How can you say all those would go to the cinema? Absolute majority just downloaded because it was available, they wouldn't go to cinema otherwise for that movie.

I didn't read the rest of the thread past the first few replies to see if someone already said this but:

                                                                                                                                                                                                  1. This did not COST the studio over $4 Million, it represents a potential loss of $4 Million, on the assumption that everyone of those ~800k people would have gone to the theatre and paid full price for the movie. Additionally, unless they polled all of those people, they have no clue how much they actually lost, so in calculating the damages they basically used made up math, like they have since the beginning of charging piraters with crimes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  2. It has been proven time and time again that people who download things often do so as a preview and then will purchase, rent, and or go see the media live [music, movies, or TV.]

                                                                                                                                                                                                  3. This was the sixth movie in a franchise, can you blame them for wanting to make sure it didn't suck before going to see it? How many movies can't even get a sequel right, let alone a sixth instalment.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  4. It was a Cam version, those are horrific generally and I bet most of those ~800k people didn't even make it halfway through, but if they liked what they saw, they probably shelled out the $$ to go see it in theatres to get the true experience.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  5. Let every one of you who hasn't recorded shows off the TV onto VHS back in the day, made mix tapes off the radio back in the day, or downloaded a single thing illegally cast the first stone.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Piracy is not the same as theft. Potential loss is not the same as true cost. Piracy does not always equal lost revenue, often it's a preview. Taking away six years of a person's life for wanting to share content which he's not making a dime off of and you being joyful about it in a forum, is pretty pathetic when most of you break other laws, download yourself, or have pirated content in the past through other mediums before the internet.
