So I kinda got into a fight last night.
 

My neighbor got all mad when I said I was downloading the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She told me I was stealing and she didn't like that. I told her that we were going to have to agree to disagree about downloading. She didn't drop it.:(

I was told that downloading movie/music/TV shows was just like going into a music store and picking up a CD and then walking out. I told her that there was a big difference cuz that's shoplifting. She then asked me what I was going to do tomorrow night I said "Watching my stolen movie". She got mad and left.

What's your opinion on this?


:)

beat her up.

Thats funny....

is this the same neighbor that you have these spats with on occassion, or am I totally mistaken.....?

watch and enjoy :thumbsup

just dont sell it, nor let her watch it ....

Sorry I'm not in high school hun I don't beat people up because I disagree with them.


:winkwink:

How is taking something you didnt pay for NOT stealing?

So you think it's the same as shoplifting?

Different logistically but same in principle. I'm not judging you btw, I steal movies/music too, lol

Rob her house..steal her TV ,dvd and stereo...let her stew on that for a while maybe she can re-evalute her stance on downloading and where it comes to play in the whole big picture of crime and theft....does she relize ..speeding in a car and performing anal and oral sex are against the law?...so is ripping off that label that comes on the mattress and pillows !

I got ya hun I just can't believe she got so mad about it but wanted to watch the movie.

You are a thief. The authorities have been notified of this thread.

Funny...my mom called me last night to ask if I could download this and King Kong for her. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I bet your neighbour is a fucking christian.

Call that a fight ? I was expecting blood and broken teeth. Anyway, you're right, shes wrong.

Technically, you are not stealing. You are receiving stolen property.

ok, so do i get this right: you all whine about programs shaving your traffic, but thinks its cool to steal movies and music?

if you plan on buying the dvd then its not stealing ;]

fuck that, paying what?, like $8-10 bucks to see a movie, fuck that.

You feel strongly about that huh?

My thoughts exactly! :1orglaugh Hun, don't hold back tell us how you REALLY feel!

Ha ! I've done so much stuff in the past that spending the rest of my life emulating Mother Theresa isnt going to get ME in heaven, so fuck it, keep on downloading ..... look around, there are far worse things you could do. And before some smartass says it - this not moral equivalence, its a recognition that in absolute terms the world is full of sin, but in pragmatic terms there degrees of sin. Sort that one out .....

That's like "agreeing to disagree" about the acceleration of gravity being 9.8m/s squared: it is, like it or not. Downloading a movie you didn't buy is clearly theft and clearly exactly the same as stealing it from a store, minus the cost of packaging.

If you want to steal, fine, but don't kid yourself about what you're doing and keep your hands off my shit.

SpaceAce

What?


:eek7

She wants you. She's just mad you didnt invite her to watch the movie naked with you.

It's really not confusing.

SpaceAce

What kind of shit do you have?

I think stealing a physical product, something that has already been produced, packaged, purchased by a store owner and shelved for sale is different than downloading a digital copy of the same item.

And for people who say, "but the stores and the company lost your sale because you downloaded it", bullshit, just because you download a digital copy does not imply your only other option was to buy a copy. I could of just watched it at a friends house when he rented it? Or I could of watched a friends stolen copy without knowing it was fake, does that imply that I also stole it, or perhaps helped conspired to steal it?

I think digital downloads enter a very grey area of law...

I personally don't download movies from the internet or buy pirated DVD's and stuff. I get my music from allofmp3.com which I pay for each song or album downloaded.

I'm not judging you for doing so either tho. Its just my personal choice but I'd never call anyone a thief for downloading movies from the internet.

Fuck her..

So does everyone feel that way about TV shows also?

Wow, do you really believe something this ridiculous? Your theory is that the only people who steal stuff "wouldn't have bought it, anyway"? So, I'm free to rip the insides of any sites you own and freely distribute the content, right? I mean, after all, the people who download it weren't going to pay for it, anyway.

SpaceAce

well also, if you think outside of the USA, e.g. AUS , then most tv shows and dvd's you can download aren't even out here yet, so even if we as consumers wanted to buy them, or watch them on tv we can't. DVD's we have to wait a few months (unless uber popular world wide launch), or even upto a year (tv shows) to be offered the choice to watch them / buy them "legally"

Bitch slap her before she reports you to the fbi

Ok devils advocate here. It's ok to download movies, but GUBA can't put your stuff out for download?

Hummmmm I didn't even think about that one.


:Oh crap

Stealing is stealing.

If someone ripped your sites or content, you'd be fucking pissed. Just because the movie industry is big, doesn't mean you have to rip them off.

If you want to watch it, support the makers or the artist and buy it.

Sorry, you're a thief.

YOU ARE

It's better to watch DVD , the quality is much better . But if you are low on finances you might give a go . And if you really liked the movie , be sure to go see it in the cinema / buy a dvd / rent a dvd . That's what i think .

You both should get naked and settle it in a baby pool full of jello.

LMFAO!


:1orglaugh

Didnt some movie studios just announce the other day that they were going to start offering movies for download?

Obviously if you paid to download it from a legitimate source with approval of the movie studio, it's not like shoplifting. It's like buying the DVD.

allofmp3 is not a legal site where the artist acutally gets a cut i think

Yeh Mate If Ya Lyk Ya Nt Even Ard

STFU.


:321GFY

Every time I pay $12 to go see a movie I feel like I am being robbed. So turnabout is fair play. I say DOWNLOAD BABY!

(and your friend is a bitch)
