I'd care a bit, but

Given who we're talking about, feels to me like a simple case of thug vs gangster and I couldn't care less who wins.
Actually, I have even less respect for Real than I do for Hollywood, so, if I could actually give a toss, I'd pitch in for Hollywood this once.
But frankly, this is like having to choose between an Uwe Boll film and spending the evening with my mother-in-law. Either way I'd rather have a headache.

Gee What a Shock...

...that the studios would squash something that finally gives back to USA consumers their legal Fair Use rights. Who'd have thunk it!

Is there a better tagline?

""Real DVD should be called Steal DVD""

Oh, MAN.

Wrong once again.

I am getting sooo tired of this BS....

Hey, I own a gun. Somebody better go sue colt firearms cause they sold me the means to go shoot someone. 
Oooof.. Better go sue ford and Budweiser, I might get drunk and go drive around till I cause an accident.

Ya can't do it huh? So why is this any different?

Hello!!! Hollywood!!! Wake the HELL UP!!
Your customers are getting tired of you treating them like criminals. I buy my DVD's I want to be able to make a copy of MY disk.. Yes it's MINE.. I paid for the thing. Fair use says I can do darn near anything I want with it short of giving/selling copies of it.

Maybe we consumers need to get together and fire off a class action suite for defamation. All the copy protection, DRM, tells me is that the industry thinks I, as well as everyone else are thieves!... 

Just cause I can do something doesn't mean I will. I dropped my $15 to $25 on the counter, the next person who wants a copy can go to the store and do the same.

Here's a thought....
STOP WASTING $$$$ On DRM and copy protection that doesn't work (The real pirates always find a way around it) And lower the price of your products!

Single DVD cost 15-25 bucks 10 years ago. Still does today.. Can't tell me the process of stamping the things out hasn't gotten cheaper. I know better. Noooo. it's all the doesn't work BS the industry is spending millions on that's keeping the prices up. Then greed gets them suing everyone on the planet that gives us a tool letting us exercise our rights under fair use.

Hollywood? Don't take this personally... But get the f**k out of here!

Dear Hollywood: Go ahead, have your gay hissy fit and stop producing DVDs. Believe me, we will ALL be better off once you stop spewing your vacuous crap. Oh, and you needn't bother putting defective copy protection on it. One, it doesn't work, and two, anyone who wants to copy your crap should be committed to an insane aslyum anyway.

Signed,

The Universe in General

Sigh.... I really should stop raising my hopes like that...

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
