Now that we got that outta the way, let's get to your first question. We first have to ask ourselves "Why?". Why did Disney, and so many other movie studios turn to Blu-ray? The answer is simple... Bootlegs! The one thing that is killing us in the format war is the Disc Protection. We have none. Blu-ray is encoded with a special copy protection that movie studios are in love with, and by their own right, they should be. It saves them hundreds of billions of dollars per year. It doesn't save us a dime though.

If Blu-ray wins the format war we will never be able to buy bootleg HD movies and that just plain sucks for you and me. I'm not saying I buy bootleg movies but don't you think that we should have the choice between $30 dollars and $10 dollars? I mean, do the movie studios have to make all the money? They are even trying to take Bootlegs away from us with this Blu-Ray crappola!

Fight blu-ray to the end! If they win you can say bye bye $10 bootlegs!

I say that no copy protection is HD-DVD's best feature. It will save you thousands over a lifetime.

Can you believe this guy's argument for why HD-DVD is better?

The guy is making an argument for piracy from the tone of it... which is why I'm shocked ANY studios still want to support HD-DVD.

We can't steal! We should be able to steal!

Idiots...

and we all know 90% of hd dvd supporters are cheap asses...and this just validates that.

Ascended_Saiyan · 11-28-2007, 03:29 PM

Wow. That is just sad. I can hardly believe I just read that.

kaliraver · 11-28-2007, 03:29 PM

These idiots are so worried about bootlegging movies really don't need to own HDM. They should just stick to DVD's where it should be "good enough" for them bootleggers. That is the lamest and dumbest reason to support HD-DVD.

sj001 · 11-28-2007, 03:29 PM

Do any of the execs at any of the studios read this crap? I can't believe they would support a format that is so easily copied, and is the "format of choice" for those who want "bootleg" copies of movies. Wake up Universal, and WB, and Paramount!

Bizdady · 11-28-2007, 03:31 PM

Oh ya that arguement is really going to get the studios to back your format lol

stockstar1138 · 11-28-2007, 03:31 PM

i know a lot of people stand around and say, big deal its just a format war, there are more important things in life such as crime. THIS IS CRIME. THIS IS IMMORAL. THIS IS HD DVD.

tiger roach · 11-28-2007, 03:31 PM

Arr, matey!

buckshot · 11-28-2007, 03:32 PM

i've said it many times. hd dvd is essentially saying piracy is ok, by not putting any kind of advanced copy protection on it.

but maybe he was being facesious?

That line about piracy being their best feature is classic... I put that in my sig.

NJMetsFan · 11-28-2007, 03:40 PM

I believe that if studios see that their movies aren't being bootlegged, then they wouldn't need to charge as much for the movies. Blu-Ray could lower the cost that the studios charge, because the studios won't be losing millions of dollars a year on bootlegs. Just my 2 cents.

I'm kinda liking this one for a sig. It pretty well sums up the HD DVD groups mentality.
