I mean Horizon, PBS, BBC4, Al-Jazeera science…etc

Thanks.

Thats somehow true, but there are a lot of great indepedent movies (or movies that didn’t do well in the box-office) that rely solely on DVD sales. Buying a pirated DVD or downloading a rip is basically stealing money they never had in the first place.

I feel so guitly when downloading a great movie that didn’t make squat in the box-office. sigh, *Brick*.

After 88 comments, the whole idea about “why there is no movie rental in Kuwait” still hangs !!! So, I think if every one who has (Original) DVDs in Kuwait had a place where an “EXCHANGE” could be done legally, privately, I think this issue can be curbed.

This way every one buys one (Original) DVD, watches it and gives it up for exchange, then he / she gets another one. Effectively, everyone need only buy 5 -10 DVDs and register the names so there are no duplications.

The idea being, buy one and get one!!! the loop never ends.

A National DVD exchange!.. and Im sure colelctively we should hit about 100K Originals among the population…

btw, we may have to contibute towards a central physical repository, maybe in the free trade zone… dunno yet…But we can figure this out!!

Piracy is a crime. But, what can I say? I’m a criminal. I don’t condone downloading movies and music online, but I do it anyway. I’m a walking contradiction, and I know it. :p~

But I’m trying here. Trying to get access to legit online stores. Copyright and censorship censorship, not to mention lack of communication on many parts, is pushing people to illegally obtain music, movies, and tv shows.

One questions though… is piracy a crime that can’t be stopped?

Hollywood makes crap films, they gain millions in the box office, and the greedy bastards want more money from DVDs, but piracy helps equalize our losses from buying movie tickets with their millions’ worth of profit.

It’s nature’s law.
