By any chance did any of you see Today Tonight last night on Channel 7 at 6.30PM?.<br />Yes they were raiding the computer and normal markets to see who was selling Pirated copies of DVD's, and they have a FUCKING hide to tell you that you are ripping the movie studios off + others <br />FUCK OFF!!!!!<br />The movie producers and the manafuctures are ripping the public off. How in the hell do you justify $42 for a single disc of "PEARL HARBOUR"?.<br />They have to be joking!!, If these pathetic greedy scumbags want to stop piracy sell your DVD's at a realistic price. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />Do you realy think that a DVD is worth around 40 Bucks and I don't give a shit about the kick backs they have to pay to all the hanger on's they are 200% far too expensive.<br />If they want to stop piracy instead of sending your bully thugs arresting people at the markets sell your DVD's at a real price, NOT higher than $20 because if you sell an average DVD from $15 to $20 piracy will dry up over night and what you meat heads can't see is if you sell them cheaper you will sell a thousand times more a day.<br />As that shop owner said the markets sell in 2 hrs more than they sell in 1 week. Now why Huuummmm!!! Its mathematics. Why would you want to spend $100 on 2.2 movies when for the same amount you can by nearly 7 pirated with identical quality.<br />Don't listen to this shit about not being not as good quality, what a lot of propaganda shit!. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br /><br />Its like PAY TV you want to beat PIRACY? Match it in prices because only HUMAN GREED causes this problem <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />And did you hear the commentator say! Yes the markets selling these DVD's are ripping the public off. Wake up, its the other way around.<br />Phil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" />

Phil!<br />Never truer words said!.<br />I refuse to pay those outrageous prices.<br />they are responsible for this greedy mess.<br />Steve <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />

I cant keep quite on this debate! As I do some authoring of DVDs myself, I can tell you something that I am sure you will not know.<br /><br />Take a guess at what you think a movie (yep even dual layered DVD) would cost a studio. Okay this is in large quantaties, but that is what they order anyway.<br /><br />Okay if you think under 5.00 you are right but lower...<br /><br />Under 2.00, you are still right but lower...<br /><br />Under 1.00 surely not WRONG.... The cost to mass produce a DVD dual layered is now below 1.00 and that includes the plastic cover, cover label printing, disc cost, printing and disc silk screen printing!

Yes Dave I have heard the same, under a dollar and to make it worse its a $1 yes an Australian Dollar thats around 66 Cents US for a complete DVD with cover and label yes people thats the way you buy them in the shop and like Phil said the movie Pearl Harbour cost over $40 to buy from the shop and they make it for 66 Cents US.<br />And for today Tonight saying the Pirates are ripping the public off Piss off they all come from the same pay roll and like protecting each other. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> <br />They are responsible for the piracy problem GREED, $$$$$$$ thats all they can see. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />Peter<br /> <br /> <small>[ 07.
