You guys have nailed it. Innovation and personal freedoms are linked. The US is on it’s was to becoming a third-world, backwater hole if it doesn’t embrace this new thinking. Just look at the mess in the US health care industry. Pirates are the innovators.
I don’t know who the voice-over actor was, but that was the perfect voice.
Thanks for support!
Yeah, I mean, it's like anything else. You have to be able to see all the shades of gray, not just the black & white.
The idea of drugs being reverse-engineered and manufactured for cheap in other parts of the world to give to people for free is fantastic. I would LOVE to hear what the downside is of this.
I'm not so crazy about the idea of a movie outright being pirated. It's entertainment, not a necessity.
However, using scenes from a movie, or music in the background of an original film / video production I don't have a problem with, because the "pirate" is creating something new, and those elements become resources to make something original.
Let's say I make a CD of music for my wife's aunt and she copies it and gives it to 10 friends. Are we all bad people who deserve to be punished? What if half of those people go to Best Buy or iTunes and buy music from those artists because of those CDs, which they may haver never done if that hadn't happened?
What's great about your project is that it, hopefully, will make some people think…on both sides of the equation…the people who think that all piracy is bad, period, and the people who do actually take advantage of the creative efforts.
Nicely done.
