Love Film & Pay For It (a frustrated rant)

Every person, an income!

Those who do it are full of excuses. I'm yet to hear a valid excuse or reason. I've always been staunchly against movie piracy but the closer FakeShemp.Net has brought me to film-industry people, the more I see piracy's affect. I cannot understand how people expect the best quality of content (Game of Thrones, Pacific Rim etc) when they're not willing to pay for it. Is it total ignorance? Absolute arrogance? It's both.... SO, If you love movies, be a part of them. Purchase movies legally. The adverse flow-on effect that this behaviour has on people's careers is huge. Consider how many people are involved in a project's production (from catering to grip, from stunts to a lone cellist in the orchestral scoring)... and then there's the poor suffering indie players who need people to buy their films if they want to survive, let alone scrape by. Love film. Pay!
