Bootleg trailer for Piranha 3D [PIRAN] on Youtube. Antibody Jan 19, 13:14

why is it ok to advertise a copyright violating trailer but not watch a torrents? :/ {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 13:29

oh snape maceodkat Jan 19, 13:39

Am I missing out on a gif featuring the lovely Scarlett Johansson... ??? {nm} Toruk Facto Jan 19, 15:01

no. just popcorn. {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 15:07

Ok, it's just copy/paste onto a URL. It's ScarJo munching on popcorn, alright, looking thoughtful or involved... {nm} Toruk Facto Jan 19, 15:38

Because watching a copyright violating trailer does not result in a decrease in revenue. {nm} dsbman Jan 19, 13:43

it may if it looks really bad and its not the material or quality that the studio intended to release. so keep going, try again... {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 13:45

No, because the trailer will still be released. It's just being held for a specific date. {nm} dsbman Jan 19, 14:23

But pirating of any sort is illegal. Viewing of pirated material is a vote in support of pirating and those hits encourage sites to post it. Catzan Jan 19, 14:39

actually, it's not. some unauthorized copying may still be legal under the Fair Use Doctrine {nm} mickpix Jan 19, 14:50

I would have to look at the federal statute that was handed to us but I do know that folks are asked to delete even small amounts of Catzan Jan 19, 17:18

Seriously? Online trailers are free anyways. {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 13:54

"hurry before they take it down" this material wasnt officially released. so right now, its stolen. {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 13:57

Go ahead and make yourself feel better if you think that's the same as watching a pirated full-length movie. {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 14:05

LAWLZ - its called PERMISSION you hippogriff. screeners are free, WOM from leaks can help generate intrest.... etc maceodkat Jan 19, 14:07

Uploading a screener is illegal, asked the guy who leaked WOLVE. {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 14:09

and people get their youtube accts for repeat offenses of copyright violations. {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:11

"get their youtube accts banned" {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:12

so what if i stop the download early of a free dvd screener and watch only part of it? is it ok then? {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:08

All you're doing is revealing your ignorance of the law. Do you see anyone going to jail linking to a leaked trailer? {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 14:12

just because one act is less wrong than the other doesnt mean that its right. adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:18

Where was the outrage when the whole world watched the bootleg ATEAM trailer. :) {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 14:35

you didnt post it up. and that person never gave me a " :-/ face" for watching a movie out of wide release and not yet on dvd {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:39

I just asked a question without any emoticon. You outed yourself. {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 14:44

you sir, made a face. adrenalin112 Jan 19, 15:07

im not trying to downplay the illegality of pirating movies. im just saying that the principle is there for all violating footage regardles adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:14

My MPAA rep has told me that any recording of a movie or part of a movie is illegal. He asked us to stop people from recording trailers or Catzan Jan 19, 14:19

tell them dmac says to chillax on that. snippets dont count :^/ {nm} maceodkat Jan 19, 14:43

01/19/2010 - The day adrenalin112 owned dmac.* adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:45

Keep believing they're equvalent. The whole movie/blog sites link leaked trailers, but not pirated movies. /Shrug. {nm} Antibody Jan 19, 14:49

theyre not the same. but theyre both wrong. derrrrrrrrr {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 19, 14:54

Wow! Christopher Llyod?!?! Now I wanna see it!! {nm} FabioParme Jan 19, 17:50
