Did anyone see GM:TV this week when they did the report about DVD piracy- think it was Monday... Fiona Phillips basically defended piracy and also many people from the public were reported to say that they dont care who their pirated films come from and they know what they are paying for.

I have never been so proud of the british public for standing up for piracy at last- about time too!.

AND did you see the 'market stall' pirates that was on there???
**** off-- if they were proper pirates... Im Peter Kay.
That was quite clearly a set-up from the GM:TV team...
when do pirates honestly tell people what the quality is like before they are asked.................. Please....

And also... there was a anti-piracy stall in Meadowhall recently.. dont know if anyone saw it.. some prat dressed up as Shrek showing '****e' pirated films and showing the quality that ALL pirated films are like.....

I proper ****** myself at that!

Do these FACT people think that the british people are thick ***** or what?

This is the link to Lynn'll Fix It's section about Pirated DVD's on the GMTV website.

Right-- let me tell you how it really goes down.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Lynn's advice
As soon as you start handing over your money for a £3 pirated DVD, not only do you risk terrible quality which cannot be returned, but you're also funding the criminal community as most of the money ends up in the hands of organised crime.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Usually they retail for £4/5 each and the quality is good-perfect.
You can return them usually - as most pirates rely on the quality of the goods they sell: You sell a **** copy - you lose customers-
Period.. and as for funding the criminal community-- most pirates nowadays are NOT linked into other crimes.. they are simply bedroom pirates who do it for cash for themselves for whatever reason- not to fund the IRA or any other ******** like that.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
It's not a bargain
The cash these criminals make causes an untold amount of human misery. Amongst others, it funds the trafficking of illegal immigrants, many of whom either die in transport, or can't find sanctuary when they arrive and have to be deported.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The copied DVD you buy is not a bargain???
Why the **** pay £17 for a brand new dvd like Hellboy -- months later for it when I can pay £5 and have a USA copy thats hell of a lot better than the UK version- perfect quality all menus and extras and is all-region... all for £5
**** off -- not a bargain.

The cash bedroom pirates make does not go to trafficking illegal immigrants--- it goes to usually the place they are renting the original DVD from or buying the copy in the first place to duplicate to sell and then the cash goes back into their own pockets to do with at will.. not to some underworld gangsters.

And now most people in the british public have seen through the lies and the fake crap and are still buying FAKE.
Knowing they will get usually a perfect copy- shame on the ****e pirates around for selling cack- for a 1/4 of the original price.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The simple message is: don't buy knock-down DVDs from market stalls. It's bad quality and it's bad for society.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Its bad for society- its bad for greedy ****ing businessmen who dont care about you or me -- you are taking your money back from them... keep doing it I say!

Do we really need to do this topic again???????????????????????

Haven't you already been a prominent poster on a thread advocating piracy, and didn't you say you are a pirate or work with pirates? Why start a new thread about it? Are you running out of custom or something? :rolleyes:

Just highlighting what they said on GM:TV.
Thats all.

if new original dvds cost a tenner i would by them but not £20 thats nearly a days wages for me
the worst in games £40 for a new game! no way would i pay that!
