Why Bother with Piracy? It’s Mostly Crap Anyway.

cata-wha?
I usually go weeks, if not months without making it to SlashDot, but the following
comment at slashdot summed it up for me:
Honestly, why are we stealing this crap anymore? Especially as the three most popular movies currently are Hitch, The Pacifer, and Be Cool (thanks to www.the-numbers.com)? Why do we waste our time and endanger our freedom?
Well, I say, it’s time to stop. Not just stop pirating mainstream movies, but stop watching them altogether. There’s plenty of content to be found out there on the Web (AtomFilms [atomfilms.com] and INetFilm [inetfilm.com] come to mind).
Show the RIAA that we are not sheep. Show them that we don’t need to see the latest Keanu Reeves travesty. Show them we’re tired of their shit. Don’t see their movies. Don’t pirate their movies. Don’t have anything to do with their movies. If enough of us shake off the yoke, it will make a difference.
I need to check out (and support!) more indie produced net content! Suggestions welcome.
