Torrents still too tricky?

10/11/2009 9:01:53 AM

Like to not see the movie industry tank?

10/11/2009 9:02:50 AM

Something wrong with paying for someone else's work?

10/11/2009 9:04:53 AM

i prefer blu-rays son.

10/11/2009 9:19:41 AM

piracy is cool!!1

^ yea, blu-ray is worth it if you have a decent enough TV

10/11/2009 9:20:56 AM

netflix, son

10/11/2009 9:45:53 AM

torrents are hit or miss, too. You wait 4 days for an HD torrent to download, and then you get it and whoever ripped it didn't know what the fuck they were doing, and it's all fucked up.

mostly, this has is what has gotten me to stop pirating. Netflix is cheap enough to where it fully offsets the hassle of torrenting.

4 days? Are you on 28.8?

10/11/2009 11:17:57 AM

I think he's just using the wrong tracker, son.

10/11/2009 11:24:15 AM

I only see movies I cant wait for in theaters and I just buy DVDs

no renting

10/11/2009 11:24:38 AM

I like to watch blu-rays from netflix b/c I'm not a broke-ass nga.

10/11/2009 11:26:19 AM

i agree that a lot of rippers out there have no fucking clue what they're doing. the guys who rip HDtv usually cant fuck up ripping from a tuner, so i have no problem with TV

for movies, you can use vcdquality or just download the sample 2 minute clip to decide if it looks decent. if not, use the OMG RIP OFF RED BOX

my time is more valuable than the $5 it takes to rent a blu-ray.

You using dialup, motherfucker? Of course, I never download anything illegally, but if I did a standard definition movie would take about 10 minutes to download or less than an hour for an HD movie.

because not everyone is a douchebag that knowingly and repeatedly breaks the law? I hope you get caught and sued for $texas.

you're joking, right? there's not a tv out these days that doesnt have some sort of hdmi, sv, dvi or at least vga input. its not like we're sitting around watching movies on 15" crt monitors and little 2" speakers anymore

What pisses me off is spending time downloading a movie only to discover it's been dubbed over in Pakistani or something.

10/11/2009 10:21:37 PM

If i watch a movie with a friend(s) i'll go to the movie store.

If i just want to see a movie by myself i torrent.

a lot of broke bitches ITT.

torrents actually make me like the idea of metered internet usage.....

10/11/2009 10:26:51 PM

i usually just

1) search "[enter movie/music title here] torrent" in google
2) compare the top 4 results for what i'm looking for, weed out sites that look too spammy
3) compare # of seeders
4) make my educated decision

10/11/2009 10:27:44 PM

^^ Nielsen's Law makes me not like that idea. It's not a viable business model.

10/11/2009 11:39:44 PM

listen i have a 55" tv and still choose to watch torrents on it.

if a movie is actually good then i'll go to the movies and watch it because i'm not a cheap ass, but if i'm just watching something to kill time because i am bored then i'll get a torrent.

you can get amazing quality and have two or three different films from which to choose in two to three hours.

10/12/2009 11:19:13 AM

i have hundreds of films to choose from right now

because i enjoy paying people for their work
