Aint it Cool News versus the Evil Pirate Copies
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=15389
thanks to enjoysmeat for posting this in the Hulk thread, i thought i'd make another post here (even tho i couldn't really decide where to post this.. maybe boxofhate heh  ) so i could feedback on this link on its own.
first of all, lets make it clear.. aint it cool news is a fuckin retarded site. point 28 fonttypes are NOT really needed unless you're so blind from wanking over movie news or something. but apart from the awful layouts, the staff there have this self important thing going on....
i love the way moriarty criticises the fact hulk is out on the net so normal people can watch it freely. in other words , the AICN staff are crying because other people can now see the things THEY have had stolen before for them. remember kids, mr knowles is hardly the best friend of hollywood.
quote:
Shame on you. All of you. Not everyone reading this, of course, since most of you are sane, normal, law-abiding citizens. I’m speaking directly to that percentage of Internet users who simply can’t exhibit a modicum of self-control, who feel the need to pirate films at the absolute first second they possibly can, and specifically... I’m speaking to the person who leaked the workprint of Universal’s HULK in the first place. Shame on you.
yes, shame on him for not delivering it to the AICN office first, so they could do the EXCLUSIVE!! on it. how bout this.. fuck AICN, fuck fatboy knowles, and fuck all these oh-so moral people who hate piracy, yet probably have a few drinks before going driving, or have an illegal cable box running in their home.
quote:
And to those of you who wrote to say, “Hey, don’t blame me... I’m just watching it,” you need to realize that you’re part of the problem.
and as long as the problem pisses off assholes like you, i'm glad to be part of it.
quote:
Now let’s see all the pirates try to justify their position in the talkback. Seriously... let’s see how you explain that what you do isn’t wrong, or you’re not hurting anyone, or the studios have enough money. I look forward to reading how you can tapdance around the basic issue here, which is that you are thieves, and you’re damaging the industry I love with your actions.
indeed. or how about i just say "fuck the industry" oh no! i've said it. how about this - i dont give a fuck if hollywood just stops making films altogether! ah, you weren't expecting that were you. but really, the industry fucks the viewer over, so we fuck over the industry. except we don't get all pissy and crybaby over what they do, we just hit them where it hurts, in the Box Office takings. well thats what they say anyway, because apparently pirate movies lose the industry 10 squillion dollars a year. myself and others have pointed out the utter shortcomings of any MPAA / RIAA report ever so theres no reason to do it again. you see, the do-gooders always seem to think that when we find out its "stealing" or "damaging the industry" that we'll suddenly go "oh jeez, i never knew that!". im not gonna try work out exactly how much damage it causes (nor how much promotion on the same terms, you see the only people who ever admit BOTH good things AND bad happen because of piracy.. you guessed it, the people who AGREE with piracy!) because nobody knows that, least of all the MPAA.
but hey, for every fanboy or website reviewer who gets pissed off for piracy's existance, i get to grin more when i boot up a film i didn't pay for. oh no! but hey, if hollywood has a problem, i'll just sell all my legal dvds (and make a HELLA lot of money from em, cos i have more than a few) and never give them a $ of my money ever again. if everyone did that, they'll see what a REAL loss is like.
and just for the record, in case a few of ya'll missed it - Fuck Aint it Cool News, aka Aint We Hypocritical News. especially Moriarty, who's stupidity (and blatant advertising that you can download the Hulk easily from Kazaa or BitTorrent, nice work genius) has made my morning.

I would have registered and added my own 2 cents, but that site is too damn ugly for me to be caught in the rolls of the userbase. I stopped paying attention to AICN a little over a year ago.
