In the news it says the FBI has seized movies music and games worth $50m. These are the people that take cameras into the pictures film them then distrubed them on the internet and file sharing software.
yeah i heard some major gangs have been taken down, like BooZers, and most of Centropy, also a few rumours going around that SaoSin have been raided too.
And for those of u who dont know, these are some big gangs, these are the guys who like get films out early, liek Sin City, Batman Begins, etc.
its about time these gangs were court now the movie companies can make loaRAB more money instead of losing but i have a horrible feeling other gangs will take over.
glad to see the FBI is after the real criminals now, with this recent crackdown there are hardly no criminals left on the ten most wanted list ...oh wait
ok, Groups Then, i still think of em as gangs, also i didnt say they made money of this, if u read any NFO file that comes with the films they clearly say this
Good, movies arent gonna get made anymore if this carries on much longer. What they should do is go to some Asian countries, India in particular, and try and stop the millions of illegal dvd's being made there on a daily basis. Has anyone actually seen an illegal dvd that has been recorded in a movie theatre on a camcorder? I dont know anyone who has, all the ones I have seen (I admit it!!) are preview dvd's for award judges. Cant imagine how bad they must be.
Ha. I'd be curious to think what the British movie industry would say to that. Only about 1 in 10 films break even, and attendance in cinemas is down across Europe.
