UPDATE: The production company has found the IP Address' of all of the downloaders and has sent all three of them letters apologising BOOM!

the movie did so bad, the studio has to make a profit somehow.......

Actually the movie did fairly well at the box office. Better than lots of less crappy movies.

O.T. I haven't seen a single post in this thread that is any different to the others, I swear you're all copy and pasting each other.

Why not let them have the movie for free, what's the retail value of a 700mb less than vhs quality of a movie they probably watched once and deleted, I mean realistically.

I don't get how people can't see the awesome this movie was, if you watched it for the story sure but the movie was a brilliant action flick.

Just buy the DVD? Is it that hard. Anyway, it's worth it, The Expendables is damn good.

I'm confused as to why this is breaking news. If you pirate a movie, you break the law. If you break the law, the law comes after you, either with you being arrested or sued.

Do we as a community here have such a high sense of entitlement that we get surprised when we find out others among us are actually being PUNISHED FOR STEALING?!?!?

Aaaaawww! That's so cute! They honestly think this film is worth a damn!

Wait, surely piracy was good for this movie?

Due to the awful reviews many people decided they weren't going to pay money to watch this movie. Some of those will have then downloaded it just in case it's not as bad as the reviews made out. A small portion of those are going to find they actually like it and some portion of those will then buy the blu-ray/dvd.

Granted, that's not a lot of purchases but it's more then they would have got.

They're only going after the people who downloaded the cams? I mean, the bluray has been out for a while now.

ARG! Why the hell do people go after the individual downloaders when they could much more easily take out the initial UPLOADERS.

I guess that brings up an interesting question, are the fines differentiated by the quality of the film they downloaded, It could be anywhere from 650 mbs to a couple of gigs, cams,dvds,tv, or bluray quality.

12 dollar tick for this movie is robbery too.. at least the pirates admit it.

EDIT: Sorry internet told me it had eaten my first post.

IGNORE ME

 

[Asehujiko]

A sad day for the internet and privacy but still downloading a new movie for free is a crime no matter how you slice it.

The only crime commited here was by Stallone, against my eyes. And he conned me out of a movie ticket too.

Rich people in a $100,000 house? up here that is really cheap actually, and gets you a house with one floor and about 3-4 rooms.

I guess houses are really cheap in America? A low end house here is like 250,000 - 300,000 CAD.

You don't think it's wrong that ISPs record all your actions then give them to big huge music and movie studios to hunt down people with exorbitant law fees of millions and millions of dollars?

 

[Chewster]

Stuff like this makes me want to download the film and re-distribute it out of spite, even though I have no desire to actually watch it. And since I don't have anything but school debt, I guess I'm alright. Maybe they can take my old 360 or something. That'd be a travesty.

Let us hope this blows up in their rich, inflexible, control-freak faces, in a really comical way.

 

[GunboatDiplomat]

Sue to poor people, too! Sue 'em all, rich or poor!

Poverty is no excuse for piracy.

Actually I think poverty IS a good excuse for piracy: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/22/piracy-somalia

But thats REAL piracy. Nobody dies when someone downloads a fucking movie - its hilarious how the large media companies wail about "piracy" becuase they're making slightly less bucketloads of money than before. Boo hoo.
