Terrorists win by watching Pirated movies?
Is it true? really? Nah, cant be, right???
that was my reaction when somebody questioned my recent acquisition of western movies that i was dying to watch, but could not find them in any of the stores in bangalore.
its easy to forget how effortless it is to purchase movies when you can hop-skip-jump to a walmart, target, best buy, circuit city(oops, they shut. CRAP) in the US.
its much much harder to buy these originals in lesser privileged societies, such as ours. And i am not just talking about availability, but also purchasing power.
On reading the article below, however i felt little better about what i had done, and stopped feeling bad for the poor production houses that need to protect their investments.

my personal opinion is that as long as the movies on DVD are priced same in every region of the world, people will resort to buying cheaper rip offs. ever wonder why torrent is mostly used by non-americans for movie downloads??
