Do you really think that downloading doesn't affect the movie industry? Stupid !!!! It's affecting everybody in the movie industry.

This is 100% true. If my dvd-store is making less money, all the major movie companies are making less money. (but I'm sure this will not bankrupt Hollywood  ) |
Keep in mind, Mr Wallace, that this was written from an American perspective. I don't know how movie rentals are in Belgium.
However, over here in America, the city I live in has 3 Blockbusters, and they are ALWAYS sold out of "Guaranteed In-Stock" New Releases, and shit, there's like 30 or more movies in each store.
I usually go rent movies that I would like to see. I download those that I CANT get otherwise. Like the Fastlane series on Fox, etc...
But the hundreds of millions of people that went to see Spiderman 2 GROSSLY overshadow the 5-600 that downloaded it on their computers. (estimated, of course. :P)
Saying that downloading movies hurts the industry is a bit of an exaggeration.
I do understand that what I do is wrong, whether it's music or a movie does not matter, but I'm well aware of the consequences.
