Last year I had a high quality boot-leg of Avengers on my computer the very day it came out to theaters.
The Walking Dead on HD is also great. I actually prefer hi def, live streaming media as opposed to DVDs.
I haven't done that ever. That's mostly because while the technology of camcorders have increased, I'm still annoyed at the lack of detail or the immense amount of blue hue. Granted, if the price is right, I think nothing can beat the physical medium or the medium with the highest resolution in the theater. I figure that if I am going to commit a fairly costly crime, at least make the bloody thing worth my while.
I freaking HATE cams. At that point, if I don't want to pony up the cash, or can't access a theater, I'll just wait
uh, with digital copies, one copy can be distributed to millions of people in a few hours, and there is no issue with constant loss of quality and no need for a physical exchange. So yes, I can clearly argue a difference
8-10 bucks is hardly breaking the bank to see a film in the theaters either. Folks are just lazy.
Ok. You can ignore that millions of copies of bootlegged cassettes were made and exchanged all you want.
It doesn't matter, once it's out there, it's out there. Whether it makes any money for the content producers means nothing. If there was a sudden renewal of interest for a film that's in the public domain, so be it. People can enjoy it without paying anyone a dime.

Remember Romero's Night of the Living Dead? Because of the contract he signed it's now in the public domain, we've now got so many cuts and edits to the film that it is worse than having a conversation about which version and restoration of Blade Runner you liked best.

I fail to see how that makes it worse.
It's like a song remix where hardly anyone can find the damned original.
I always heard they forgot to use a copyright label at the end?
The original isn't hard to find.
That isn't a good reason, imo.
My bootleg Avengers came from a DVD manufacturer while they were in mass production for retail sale. My bootleg of Dark Knight Rises wasn't so lucky ..it's a very poor in-theater camera recording....you can hear the audience and the resolution sucks so bad I couldn't watch the movie. Every once in a while a bootleg will show the text "promotional copy not for distribution" or some-such. I was very lucky with my Avengers bootleg.I haven't done that ever.

The hi-def streaming is an improvement over the DVD, but nothing will beat seeing that 16 mm film on Blu. Walking dead streaming pales in comparison.
meh Blu Ray. just another gimmick. I'll take HD minus the annoying stack of DVDs.
I have literally thousands of DVDs. I refuse to replace them. Furthermore, I have grown increasingly agitated with trying to keep the DVDs in order and from being scratched. I don't understand why people tolerate it. It seems more efficient and ordered to have media on some type of hard drive format where it can be easily kept and retrieved. Also, the quality is HD. I seriously doubt there is much of a difference. But i guess if i had piddled my money away on a stack of Blu Rays, I'd also want to feel good about that.
Bah physical media. The Pirate Bay is where it's at.
