Re: Dotcom Extradition Judge Steps Down
For a long time, I've not seen much need to go to the movies. Take your pick as to why.- Bad housekeeping, like sticky floors
- Rude movie watchers that have to talk during the show
- People who can't watch the show without using their cell phones
- Prices steadily going up on tickets
- Highway robbery at the concession stand
- Theater workers slipping in like thieves to check the viewers with infrared goggles
- Too many B and C grade movies
- Too many reruns I already know how it ends
- Commercials now shown before previews. Did I ever tell you how much I hate ads?
- Poor quality movies that aren't worth the price of admission
- Constantly having some one wanting to go past you while you are watching the movie
- Sound constantly going up and down as various people complain it's too loud or not loud enough
I no longer buy nor rent movies. I no longer buy nor rent music. Most of it isn't worth the download it takes to get it in. And then there is the trouble I have with the entertainment industry acting like spoiled kids. I don't support companies I don't agree with their business practices. I went on boycott with the start of sue'em all. I went from renting about $500 a year in movies and an additional $500 a year in music to nothing. Don't own a TV anymore and don't miss it.
My main point here is that the entertainment industry has crapped in it's own food bowl. They've spend years earning that reputation and I no longer care if they remain in business. In fact I would at present, given the way they act, sooner see them in bankruptcy in hopes that what arose out of the ashes might be something a little more benign.
There is no need of piracy except for one telling fact. The industry has failed to meet market demands and the customer will find a way around those failings. Any warez site would give it's left nut to be legal. In 15 or 20 years I have yet to hear of one single site being licensed. A complete money source ignored because it doesn't allow the control they demand and it's not the only one. The whole rig-a-mo-role has basically been to tell the customer they don't want the money and to then think it is not acceptable when the customer finds another way.
