No, it was to explain to the fucksticks how SOPA was going to break DNS. Please link to accurate piracy figures. (clue: there are none)

So, the movie industry figures I quoted before saying how good retail was were lies?
And revenue has declined because blockbuster has died? Boo fucking hoo.

And the proof of that is where? In the figures the MPAA admitted to totally making up?
Sigh.
Come on, man, you can do better than this. Show some proof that the huge box office money and the huge retail figures your industry is posting are lies and in fact piracy is making everyone broke. Post some figures about piracy. (Clue: there are none)

Well maybe if they made films people wanted to see, as opposed to cinegraphic masturbation, they would make more money?

So everyone in new york is clever? Are people in London stupid because they don't want to sit through an indy film wankfest? I'd say they are the clever ones.

More profitable too.
What I'd really love to see from you is proof that piracy is damaging the UK indy film industry. Mainly indy films are shit that no one would want to pirate. People pirate POPULAR films. Not crap art house wank.
Show me some proof I'm wrong. Or shut the fuck up.
