What to do about the writers strike
So, after reading that article, I can justify pirating movies/tv shows. Seriously. If it weren’t for all of us–all of the consumers–there would be no DVD revenue to argue about. 1 DVD can be distributed to thousands and thousands, obviously.
And this is what the ‘industry’ is worried about. What if the pirates come and decide to end this. End it by not buying any more DVDs or TV shows online. What would happen then? Sites like the Pirate Bay and Demonoid don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon and are constantly growing. Isn’t the power in our hands?
And yes, the writers do deserve the cash for working on those o-so-clever and mind blowing scripts, but for movies like Shrek The Third and Big Mama’s House. No. No, fucking no. For every shitty movie that comes out, 5 good ones should be pirated. And TV shows like CSI and Grey’s Anatomy… no. I’d pirate 1 for 1 but even still… they are terrible.
Again, the power lies with us.
