Yup, I was wondering when they would start going after those sites.
Always made me wonder about the legality of watching streaming movies though... I mean we technically aren't downloading it. -------------

Athiests = moral... stealing is moral, AMIRITE!
it's just a movie... No one spent millions making it, TO SELL THE RIGHT TO WATCH IT...
relative morality, you gotta love it. Especially when netflicks is only $9.99 a month.
Why don't you steal cars too? or candy, you just wanted some candy and candy is good... you should steal that too.
sorry, as someone with a degree in film production, and who works with artists all day long, and has many friends who are movie makers. I get tired of the way so many steal digital content, like it doesn't matter to the people that put their blood, sweat and tears as well as possibly mortgaged their home to finance it, only to have people steal it and pretend like there is nothing wrong stealing... As "they just wanted to watch a movie"...
Also, I recently read that they are building a case against all the people who used sites like this to watch copyrighted materials for future prosecution... ------------- They tremble at my name...

How in the world did you loop stealing movies in with atheism?
While I tend to agree with you about stealing movies, not that I've not done it from time to time, that case will be laughed at and tossed aside if it ever actually comes to fruition. |

| I will admit I don't download movies, nor do I stream them, but I do have one or two video files that others have given me. Honestly? By me having them the people involved lost NO money. If I am interested enough I will go buy the DVD or get it on Blu Ray. I will also watch it on the big screen. A couple of times I've had the file and enjoyed it enough (suprisingly) that I've good and bought the disk. Some of the stuff I've watched has been specifically because I got it for free. I would never have watched it if if I'd had to pay for it but I enjoyed it enough to buy it. Movies that I've had have been because they were only worth watching for free. |

So, Glenn, by stating that "Athiests = moral" in response to movie theft, are you stating that:

No, I was stating that Atheists claim that they are moral. Many Christians also claim to be moral.
But, when many people find a wallet on the ground... they keep it.
Or find a movie downloadable instead of paying, they watch it, and steal it.
We all get to choose how we will live...
I don't want to generalize that all of any group do "____". But, it is pretty typical that many of our youth are atheists now... And they also steal copyrighted material.
I know... I know...
correlation doesn't equal causation...
but really... morality needs a standard. What is the atheists "standard"?
it sure seems like, "if you don't get caught and it doesn't "hurt" anyone it is OK"... is what I have always heard when this comes up from my athiest friends...
Which is moral relativism. ------------- They tremble at my name...

I can't believe this turned into an atheist vs. christian morality debate. FE = most successful troll evah! Oh yeah, I still maintain this is stealing. Just because someone wants something but considers it too expensive does not make it okay to take it without paying for it. -------------

Short answer is the standard is the law. Which some people feel free to disregard, just like some "moral Christians" ignore their standard Honestly, it is more of a free economy thing. Your movie is worth what I am willing to pay for it. That amount for some movies is zero. Movies like 100 million BC, Tunnel Rats, The Hurt Locker or Lesbian Werewolves aren't worth buying. |

Lesbian Werewolves was so not worth the money. I was shocked too but there you have it.
I agree with the drop off in price, to a point. Generally by the time they are in bargain bins, the artist isn't getting any of that money. That's the stockist taking the hit. Like I said though I'm the last person to argue the merits of piracy, less than 1% of the digital media in my house is pirate. I would prefer to go buy the disk. |

I do like it. i just think it is over rated. Like I've said before it is a brilliant student movie. It isn't in the league of an Oscar winner. Incidently, it is one of the pirate movies I did own, and I thought I paid too much for it. It cost me about $2. It happened to be a damn good quality rip, so it isn't because it was poor quality. I won't bother going into the technical issues, both in cinematography and EOD, because I'm not qualified, and some things like the shopping center scene kick butt, but it is a "Meh" movie overall.

On topic, I have mixed feelings about the morality of streaming movies. The thing is, I'm a movie buff, so I've never seen a streamed movie that appealed to me. For me to get into a movie, I need my HD set with at least a good quality DVD, Blu Ray preferred. So I only watch streamed movies if I just don't give a crap (2012, etc). I'm not saying it's morally right, but I think that the vast majority of people that stream a movie will probably go to see it if they like it.

I'm really surprised with all of your college experience that you haven't explored philosophy in more depth to have answered that question.
Of course, moral standards are, despite the best philosophical attempts to counter this, all relative. While philosophy may answer what the "standard" is, I doubt there's a real Christian standard, Islamic standard, atheist standard, so on and so forth.
And aside from that, the term atheist doesn''t represent a belief like the term Christianity does. It simply denotes the lack of belief in God. So that's like asking "What is the diabetic moral standard?" The question really doesn't make any sense.
I've never understood the attempt to connect athiesm with morality.

I'd have a much harder time going through with piracy if the RIAA and MPAA weren't ripping us all off. They got very, very greedy so people stole their intellectual property. It all went downhill from there as their attempts to recover lost profits resulted in more piracy. It's cyclic. Even with the widespread piracy on the net I'm fairly sure they're still making ridiculous money. Also, if you really want to support artists go to their shows, album sales don't compare as the record company keeps most of the money. Independent artists FTW. -------------

Oh no doubt, I don't think it should have won Best Oscar. That should have gone to Precious. But seriously, don't watch that movie if you've had a bad day or are already feeling down. It's a bad idea. Trust me.

you have a degree in film production, good for you for completing school. but going into film production (with this day in age) how could you not possibly know that people watch movies online? Oh wait... you did, so there's nothing to be mad about. I'm sure you watched films online before you had a new appreciation for the time and effort it takes for creating a film. And people are always, ALWAYS going to "just watch a movie". That's why you spent some many years in school to entertain us. Instead of worrying so much about people watching films off the interwebz, shouldn't you be glad that people are actually watching your production? And if you are still stingy about the money issue for living expenses and that, don't worry about because people will still buy DVDs. If they don't buy your DVD, then it's obvious that your movie sucked and you'd be wishing that people would actually watch it online. I have many friends that direct films and guess what... they download illegally. -------------
