Re: Pirate Dvd Advert on Tv?

beats me mate i have seen it several times now and it still confuses me, it's a bit vague... i think i liked it better when the powers that be just told everybody straight that PIRACY IS THEFT!! of course i dissagree somewhat with the sentiment making a movie look absolutely fantastic in the trailer and then showing everyone your polished turd once they have paid five pounds plus to see said movie, now thats theft..

Re: Pirate Dvd Advert on Tv?

We just saw that and the Mrs said that she didn't get it. I think its saying that if you buy pirate dvd's then you are a cheap-o bloke who's only interested in cheap knocked off stuff....

Re: Pirate Dvd Advert on Tv?

Its hardly piracy anyway is it? Let's be fair, people who download movies/music/games aren't exactly running drugs across the Caribbean on a speedboat or trafficing chinese illegals are they.

Its the mentally of the BPI MPAA RIAA et al that irks people and makes them less compliant.

Yeh that new Miami Vice sucked. I wish I would have pirated it rather than see it at the cinema, so they didn't get my money

Re: Pirate Dvd Advert on Tv?

I was thinking of miami vice when I wrote it

I really liked the new film. The guns blazin scene at the end was spot on.

Michael Mann has never put a foot wrong IMO.
