I’m not a f…… pirate!

Not an angel either
I just went and bought yet another DVD. I don’t claim to be an angel, but when it comes to movies and music I am one of the few people I know that always buys, instead of just getting a free pirate copy.

I will steal them
For some reason the movie business time and time again motivates me to become a pirate. Yes, that’s right. If you are in the movie business, take this as a warning, or at least as a good advice. One day my irritation will take over, and my morale will deteriorate – and I will no longer buy my DVD’s, I will steal them.

Why are they telling me this?
When I plugged in my new DVD, that I just spend $23 on, I was excited, and really wanted to get going. However, once again I was meet with a propaganda flick telling me that piracy is a crime. I f…… know that! And since I just bought the DVD, there is absolutely no reason to tell me this.

The movie business people might argue that the propaganda isn’t meant to bug the people who legally bought the DVD, but to remind the criminals that what they are doing is illegal. Well, if this is how the movie business rationalise, they have a lot to learn.

The “funny” thing is that it’s only the people who hand over their hard earned money to the movie business that are bothered by the propaganda. And of course it’s impossible to skip or fast forward over this flick. Every time you want to see the movie you bought you are forced to watch this stuff.

Pirates watch movies, not propaganda
And what about the people who just got a freshly burned illegal copy of the exact same movie, will they also see this annoying propaganda? Of course not. No one who makes a pirate copy of a movie would ever include the propaganda flick. So when a pirated copy is inserted into a DVD-player the happy pirate is instantly presented with the menu. The legal buyers are the only people who ever sees the propaganda.

Happy pirates
So the bottom line is this: Remove the propaganda – or I (and most likely other legal buyers as well) will become happy pirates. It’s that simple.
