First Pirated High-Def Movie Hits the Web

[Speedball]

The first pirated version of an HD DVD movie has made its appearance on the Internet. As first reported by the website Ars Technica, the sci-fi movie Serenity, encoded in VC-1, takes up 19.6 GB on a hard drive. (It would take about a day to download over a typical broadband connection.) The appearance of Serenity on BitTorrent comes less than a month after a programmer calling himself Muslix64 said that he had been able to bypass the copy protection on an HD DVD disc and indicated that the same method could be used with Blu-ray discs as well. In its original posting, Ars Technica asked, "Now that the genie is out of the lamp, so to speak, what will the reaction be from the content industry?" Thus far, the Motion Picture Association of America has not yet commented.[/quote]http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/2007-01-17/
LOL!
I guess Serenity will be always be remembered for one thing.

My opinion:

Don't be lazy.
Go out and buy/rent the s***.

Serenity is not the first pirated High-Def movie. That honor goes to Batman Begins as far as I know. Serenity would be the third pirated High-Def movie. At least on some places I am a member of Batman Begins HD-DVD was uploaded first then Pitch Black & then Serenity.

 

[Mr Sparkle]

plus, lest we forget....it's 20 gigs of ****ing Serenity!

I have a few HD movies on my computer that I got from the web long ago, but they are no where near 20gb. They are about 6gb each.

Option 1: Buy it. Cost: $20
Option 2: Rent it. Cost: $4
Option 3: DL it, break the law, be a lameass. Cost: Free, but forget about surfing for pr0n during the day it's downloading.

My experience with downloading movies was short: I dl'ed Final Fantasy: Advent Children when the JP version was available and it hadn't yet hit the US.

I ended up buying 4 copies ( one for me, 3 more friends who have birthdays pretty close together)

Piracy isn't just illegal; it's a pain in the ass.

Or you could just buy the normal DVD for $13 a Wal-Mart.
HD-DVD is a waste of time right now, same goes for BLU-Ray

Most normal DVD's at my Wal-Mart are like 19.99. I haven't priced any HD crap cuz I don't need it.

I wish I had a magical Wal-Mart where fairies sold me new DVD's at 13 bucks a pop. It must be awesome.

Worth it. I picked up Major League, Field of Dreams, and The Program for $7.50 apiece a few weeks ago.

Well that would depend where you are downloading from and the speed connection. I have a 24mb connection, I can download a 6GB movie in 1 hour. And the normal 700mb movies in minutes.

OH YEAH!
