Court orders Canadian ISP to reveal customers who downloaded movies

And sell the crap for cheap, like 10 cents a download, maybe 50 for HD, that way people wouldn't mind paying a bit for a movie that turns out crap ANNNNND they'd make some money... idiots they are...

What exactly is your point soldier?

"but I think this whole "pirates ruin everything" stuff is total bs."

This.

I hate how almost every company defaults on "every pirated movie is a sale lost and every sale lost is money gone", when that simply isn't true.

A lot of people pirate these things as something to do and have no intention of ever buying the movie. While I am not exactly agreeing with that, a lot of these people might say the movie is good or bad, which will result in someone spending money to see it. There are very few definable numbers in terms to how many sales they're actually losing and now they're gotten to a point where it's pretty much just scare tactics and extreme punishments for doing relatively minor crimes.

Some of these people are being fined $3,000 - $300,000 for piracy, yet I can kill someone in the state of Michigan while under the influence and only have 15 years of imprisonment and up to $12,000 in fees. Crazy stuff...
