Just been told today that there are already a few dodgy copies of Serenity circulating the Internet for download.

Surely there must be something we can do to stop them.

Any thoughts??

I don't download stuff myself but I've met a few people who discovered Firefly via illegal Bittorrent downloads and then bought the DVDs so I don't think its that disasterous. Of course there are some people who only download stuff and never buy anything but there are also those who download stuff to try it out and then buy what they like.

Firefly was only shown on a minor satalite here in the UK and many fans would never have bought the DVDs if they had not discovered it either through downloads or borrowing from friends; both things which the entertainment industry would like to prevent using DRM.

I dunno how it can be stop, and really, it happens with every movie. I will eventually get the downloaded version of Serenity so I don't end up seeing the damn movie every other day. *__* I'll become poor from it.

But for those who don't bother seeing it on screen, for shame.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

Alright, just so everyone knows ill say it again "ITS IMMPOSSIBLE TO STOP". Hell's Kitten - no disrepect intended, but no one cares about illegally downloaded stuff. The RIAA (those suppose to stop illigally downloading music) they could really give a 5|-|1t if you do it or not, they only bust people when they need money, or the gov't tells 'em if they don't catch someone they'll get new people or shut down their program. They really don't care. I too have an illigal version of Firefly, but definatly am looking at buying it. I also have looked at downloading Serenity, which will take me a good week, dial-up, :'(, lol. i know, im dissapointed in myself, but i love it so much :)and in a past post i state that i live a good hour and half away form the closest movie theater that plays Serenity. So i've seen it once, mind you on the 30th (opening day) and that # would be at about 6 or 7 if i lived closer to an actual town. So, srry guys, but when Serenity comes out on DVD, ill delete my illegal copy and buy it, MOST DEFINATELY. :D

Yeah, It's a shame.

I got a copy of it, it was just a camera recording of it, like 40x60 pixels, sucked a$s.
Deleted it immediatley since it was a waste of a gig on my HD.
Well, I'm gonna go see the thign in theaters again Sat and Mon. However, I would liek the thing wipes off of the net.

Hmm.. Howabout upload a torrent to all these sites that host them, the torrent deletes all the serinity torrents form those sites.

See, when I make something, I'm gonna have web combers, searching every corner of the web for my stuff. Then down comes Mr. Lawyer... heehee, I already feel bad for those bastards.

Rankin has a character in one of his books who doesn't complete comparatives, like "as soon as". It's easy enough to fill in "as soon as I can", or whatever, and my wife and I deliberately go around not finishing comparatives as an allusion to Rankin's book. Thought maybe you were doing the same. Pardon.

Mm. Not good at picking up on sarcasm, are ya? Or maybe I just wasn't clear enough. Or maybe there really is a phone number to THE Internet Police...?

Point of fact, though, there are a hell of a lot of people who do care about illegally downloaded stuff (otherwise, it wouldn't be "illegal"); I'm just not one of them.

AHHH, dearly sorry about that, i wasn't quite sure, and i myself am quite the sarcastic person, you'd think i'd catch that one.....Its just i meet complete and total idiots everyday....and work with them, and it just ever so sounded like something they'd say, but not sarcastically, so i was late on making a distinction between idiots i know (those that would not know a monitor from a TV tuner) and you guys....forgive me? And i know there are SOME out there, like my parents.....ehem......but i think the gov't was like..."thats stealing, BAD" made a law against it, which is all right and well, its what their supposs to do, but then don't ......efficently.....(how about that word?) carry it out. More clear on my side of the spectrum?
