Do you download movies (poll)

scotty000 · 08-12-2008, 12:48 PM

I dont expect anyone to reply but im curious how many people download copyrighted content or how many people are absolutely against it. Only curious about opinions.

well ... I see ppl didnt vote to much ... I wonder why

everyone loves what is free

, but you can enjoy watching a movie better in cinema

No, I haven't, because I don't know the technique of how it's done. However, a couple of years ago I viewed a film my buddy had downloaded and I wasn't impressed! I think he said it was " a screener" where a guy goes into a theater, with a camcorder, and makes a copy then sends it out over the Net.
The sound was muggy, you could also hear people in the audience coughing and talking in the background, the interior scenes were very dark, and halfway through the movie, a large woman got up to go to the lobby or toilet and blocked one of the only good scenes in the whole movie!
I subscribe to a cable movie channel (4 SD channels + 2 HD channels) and see most of the films I'm interested in and many of them are in Hi-Def. So, to me, it's not worth the effort in spoiling a good movie by seeing a free but a very crappy copy!

Does VOD on D*TV count since it come over my broadband connection?

teranova · 01-27-2009, 02:25 AM

So, you get VOD movies for free? Is this because somebody near where you live ordered a movie and your digital tuner is picking up the radiated signal? I don't think you would be getting the VOD movies directly from the cable as they would be encrypted. If they didn't scramble the signal, people would be getting it for free and they would go broke!
Please explain. Thanks.
Edit: You mentioned a broadband connection which would indicate that you are getting the VODs through your computer. Now, I'm really confused!
