I read today that the first movie pirating conviction was handed down to a guy who pirated Anger Management, 8 Mile, and The Core.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to defend movie piracy. I'm here to make fun of the guy who got busted for his choice of films. I mean, c'mon... 8 Mile? The Core? That's like robbing a bank and stealing only Susan B. Anthony dollars.
It's like my dad always used to tell me: "Son, if you're going to get busted, at least make it for something cool."

Yeah, do you really want to be known as the guy who was busted for pirating The Core? Was there really a huge market for that one anyway? I suppose the guy didn't like challenges. I saw where he claimed he was making $4000 a week doing it. So I'm curious how those were the three he got busted before. "Well, we raided his home and couldn't find bootleg copies of Attack of the Clones, but dadgum it, we found 100s of copies of The Core. Didn't look like they'd even been touched!" |

I heard he also pirated US Seals, Slaughterhouse Rock, and Trancers 4, but the makers of those films were just so happy that people were actually watching them, they paid for his defense.
Yes, I just made fun of Ty Miller movies - what's become of me?!?!

It's called knowing that the movies sucked but loving them anyway!
Notice how I didn't mention Trancers 5? That's 'cause nobody would want to pirate that one!

This guy sounds like a smalltimer with not taste... But they also busted these hugh release groups like "Centropy" and "Wasted Time". They're the guys who really rip the stuff for others to pirate around. I don't think a $4000 fine is gonna cover that. But getting busted for pirating crap movies like that? He must be so ashamed... Atleast I hope so fo rhim... |
