NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

I never understood why people would rather buy something illegally rather than just torrent it.

Who can say? Personally, I'd prefer to buy legitimately over any other option.

Well if you're going to buy something that's illegal, why not get it for free anyway?

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

Oh, I hear what you're saying. I will say, however, that that site is pretty easy to use, and thus perhaps less hassle than a torrent.

And no, I don't want a lecture on how easy torrenting is.

less hassle than a torrent.

torrents are easy as shit, not to mention they download in bulk, so you can download your favorite artist's entire discography in much much fewer clicks.


Consider it a lesson, not a lecture.

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

I didn't really want an explanation of any kind. I have no need for torrents.

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

That's alright, but saying that site is easier to use than torrents is like saying it's easier to cook a buffet than have it catered. Except the catering is free.

Ok!

>_>; I forgot how annoying it is trying to get 1 song when you don't want the album.... grrrrrrrr, only ways i can get "Let it Out" by Pillar is 1) napster and not be able to use it on my iPod or 2) buy the entire album -.-;;;; gdi why?!
On the note of Torrents....I don't trust them cause they never download/seed fast enough, plus bugs always seem to line inside them >_>;; just like iMesh x.x

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

Get your torrents somewhere else? I've never had a problem with just avoiding seedy (pardon the pun) torrents and using Torrentspy.com

Then again, I'm responsible with my computer, so it's not a problem for me if something has malware.

So... do we illegally pirate popcorn too? I didn't think pirating movies had anything to do with me buying or not buying popcorn at the story to enjoy while watching a movie (even if i didn't pay for said movie). >.>

GG NBC at failing at logical thought.

I've used several torrent clients, such as BitLord and Bittorrent and optimized downloading rates and it seems that even when downloading a couple music albums onto my computer, it takes a few hours. I've got great internet and a decent computer and it's very time consuming. I usually run it while I'm sleeping. Although I haven't torrented anything lately.

Honestly, what is there to watch on NBC these days? I don't watch much TV, in fact, last I watched of any TV was in the hospital, and I only turned to NBC for Conan O'Brien. Couldn't think of another reason to want to watch NBC.

Well I guess there was a Law and Order episode mixed in there somewhere. I mostly watched that celebrity weight loss thing on VH1 and wondered why Screech is such an angsty prick now. And lots of Mythbusters, I liked that show.

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

It depends mainly on your client, your connection, the torrent, and who's seeding. For example, you can probably download the entire of South Park extremely quickly, but downloading FF:U will take awhile longer.

Generally, the more popular something is, the easier it is to get a good torrent.

I think this is something that applies more to Fox news. They spent two days trying to figure out why they were reporting on Paris Hilton. It made me sad.

Re: NBC says movie piracy hurts the corn industry?

Because people watch it. Unfortunately.

NBC has a lot of shows I watch.
