Hi there
Why don't the Movie people just give up -- rather trying to kick out The Pirate Bay from St. Maarten and the Ascension Island domains they are now for a while hosted with a PE domain (Peru) . !!
If the movie people wanted to stamp out Piracy just make your stuff available ONLINE and at sensible prices -- sometimes I can ONLY get TV streams via these sorts of sites -- for example COVERT AFFAIRS S4 or the UK's THE TUNNEL from SKY ATLANTIC channel. I'd happily PAY for a DVD / stream but we can't get them.
I've also sourced some RARE classical music recordings which are NEVER likely to be re-released -- so actually in an obscure way maybe Torrent users are actually doing a favour by keeping alive some rare material which might disappear for ever -- I believe a few long lost episodes of BBC's Dr Who series were found by some "Users" in Nigeria !!!,
It's nearly 2014 -- and these days why on earth do we have to wait AGES for example to see the latest HOBBIT film -- it's already out in the wild and there's NOTHING the movie industry can do except "Go with the flow" and allow people these days to watch via download streams -- no probs with sensible subscriptions.
(I and most people I know) will still go to the movie theatre for the Big Screen experience if the film is worth seeing so that whole issue of "saving the Movie Industry" is a load of little round objects.
Pirating generally is because stuff isn't available -- OK there are ALWAYS some who want to get something for nothing - you'll never stop that but you'd certainly reduce the scale HUGELY.
Even software - sometimes you just want to see if stuff works before purchasing -- TRIAL versions are usually HOBBLED or don't last long enough or full of ADWARE. Sensible trial software is fine -- For example Ms FREE 90 day trial of its Windows W8.1 Enterprise and 2012 server.
Cheers
