Do you even believe that it affects our economy?
It has a wider variety than most video stores.
Does it affect the artists at all?
It has the same quality with the original?
Why buy an original?unless you have the cash to burn

Lets just say. I would watch crap but not pay for crap.

No.

Because I wouldn't steal a car. Nor would I steal a purse. So why would I buy/watch pirated movies...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Pirated movies rule.....so yes!

ur probably rich or u dont watch a lot of movies like i do

sometimes the pirated movie cds would come out first before the actual movie is even shown in the theaters

he is making fun of that gay commercial they put on dvds. You can't skip that gay commercial and its corny as hell.

that's another fact why I love pirated mvs

I'm sure "green" guys do love pirated cds.. Hahaha

wat do u mean?

Since bold films are NOT available in the cinemas....

lol, i know wat u ment, why do they say it "green" anyways. if u say "green" here in the states i'm sure they wont get u

I live in the Philippines, so "green" in the Filipino context

why do we call it "gree" anyways?

I dunno...nakiuso lang ako.

If its good then i'll pay but if it suck @ss then i gatto go to my local bootleger.

Pirated movies
Everywhere in Asia there are always those street vendors who sell pirated movies.
You can't find it here in Europe, shame... 2

I prefer the original. 'Cause buying pirated products is like killing our industry. I know that it's not being practical to buy the original ones because it's more expensive but we should also consider the effect of these pirated products to our country.

^singer/actor?

no i dont. its a bit crap so. i rather pay loads of money to get a good version that get a cheap one thats very rubbish.

pirata all the way!!......

the ppl who buy orig should continue to buy orig, & the ppl who buy japeks should continue to buy japeks.

one time my aunt went back to the PI to shop for fake merchandise

asfar as filipino movies go i just buy the original cuz its already pretty damn cheap and you can actualy see what the movie is about.

you probably get the ugly copies!

yeah, most fake dvds are the same quality as the original one. many of the low quality movies are the ones shot in the theaters

We can't eradicate the watching pirated movies syndrome simply because it is so much cheaper than the orginal ones. Yes, it is not something right to do but do the producers care about reducing the price of the originals. For a wealthy person, the price is irrelevant but for a normal folk, it counts a lot. We pay so much to buy the originals and the producers and the artistes are living in luxuries out of it. At the present situation, there's no doubt the artistes will be affected but still they are making a lot of money. My point is if you can't really afford an original one then don't squeeze yourself to buy it. If you can afford, by all means go get the original one.

P80 for 8 movies in 1 cd. You better hide your pirated DVD or else Edu would see it then persecute you.

no i would not. i dont like bad quality movies.

The quality of many of the pirated ones are not much inferior than the originals.
I guess what you pay is what you get. Can't complain really.

tru it depends. but if i was to get pirated ones from the philippines, i wouldnt even dare cuz u see ppl standing up in the movie theatres walkin pass the camera. LOL

ive had pirated ones here in canada for free, they dont sell it tho we juz get it from a friend for free. the movie quality is digital and good quality compare to the ones in the philippines. so instead of watchin it on theatres, i watch the latest movies at home.

I buy original cd's but not dvd's too expensive.. HAr HAR HAR

Every time you buy pirated stuff, Little Miss Sharon Cuneta would have to settle for a pair cheaper swarovski crystal encrusted bakya than her usual diamond encrusted flipflops. Think about that. Long and hard. While you suck on thier long and hard ones.

bad copies aren't worth buying... (although at first it seems like a good idea)
Depends on a person, I go with Quality over Quantity
I think i'd rather Burn DVDs that we rent on Netflix unlimited for a month, better quality than theater cam copies.

Rent newly released Dvds from netflix like 8@A Time for $50.00 a month
Download "ANy DVD" and "Clone DVD" program by slysoft (free trial for a month)
Buy blank DVD medias on sale this thanksgiving ($30 = 100 dvds)

If yall really like a movie like LOTR or STar Wars, buy the originals...

Anywho, Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs are comming. Some people would buy this format i think because of its 1080i 1080p capabilities...

But if your kinda short on cash, then buying Pirated copies would seem like a better choice.... (still bad)

no i dont support piracy.how hard is it to just pay for the product.

nice one!!! hahaha!

You can actually ask the supplier if the copy is dvd copy or not. A lot of dvd copies are bootlegs smuggled from China that's why the quality can compare to that of the original ones.

In the Philippines, and if you have a call center job, one DVD would cost about 1/10 of your monthly income.

Look, in Asian (EAST and SEA), 90% of DVD is Pirated. Even if you don't want to support it, you'll have no choice.
