It's n4g, people don't know what sarcasm is.

The whole system is flawed though. Let's say you want to __set up a heavy manufacturing concern in mainland China.__ The risk is that it could either be good or total crap. The thing is you can't really tell and then end up forking over cash, to find out that it could have been a load of crap.

How in hell did you get so many bubbles? Do they give them away with breakfast at waffle house?

It's theft of service and he makes millions off it. And it seems alot of those movies ain't crap since so many keep going to download and stream them.

@Flavor - I don't know if you realized it but piracy also has acted as a spur to inadvertently boost the legal side of the industry. Let's say I wanted to see a movie that I wasn't sure about, I might have checked it out via a torrent, and if it was good, I'd go see it in at a cinema or buy the DVD. The same goes for software. It's hard to shell out a lot of money to realize you didn't get what you wanted. A lot of online software I use, I've pirated to test privately before making an official purchase. Until there is a proper way to preview content, how will I know if I'm getting my money's worth. If you can't see it that far, then that's your problem. Even with piracy reigning its head, the movie and music industry is still making billions on legal sales.

I would be more inclined to agree with that back in the day, but now we have so much information at the tip of our fingers. Heck we carry computers in our pockets, and we have Rotten Tomato, everyone and their mother has a blog. At this point if you buy without research it's your fault.
