I guess this means there'll be divx or mpeg copies of them floating around that I'll get to watch at some point.

Geez Joe, if you watched TV you'd see that advertisement where all the regular joes of the movie industry speak out against piracy. Because pirating movies that make millions of dollars is taking money directly from those people, who work on a salary/wage, and not the movie studio owners.

Ummm... I go to the theaters and see that still. Stupid commercials at the movies now. Life is going to become one big billboard someday.

Fandango commercials must die!

Except their annoyingness makes them very memorable, so I guess it works.

I don't think of watching a tv episode in divx/mpeg is really piracy... ever hear of a vcr? same thing but digital and I didn't have to remember to set the stupid thing.

I agree. I was referring to the rest of your divx/mpeg collection.

You know, the other thousand or so files.

Getting beat on the head with a hammer would be very memorable too then... until it causes brain damage. I wonder if we could sue Fandango for brain trauma...

There's no way I'm splitting the possibly massive settlement with you unless the only way I could win was by making it a class action suit.
