Don't give the the old "try before we buy" line. That's fallacy and you know it. For example, how many "downloads" did you like that you actually turned into an outright purchase? No, really - answer that question, will ya? If the percentage doesn't add up to 100, you're not a fan - you're a thief. |
obviously you don't know us lacey fans very well do you. we are huge lacey fans that we must have the movie now to see it and when the movie comes out we also buy it too. we all know we're going to buy it. c'mon the dvd is a whole better quality than a downloadable one. but we're such huge fans we need the movie now so we can see it over and over and over again. i downloaded the pleasure drivers way before it ever came out on dvd and i'm sure many of us here too. and when it finally arrived on dvd i like everyone else here went out and got it too.
on video rentals, lets see rent and rip, happens a lot. if it's a lacey movie, i don't rent i buy. same thing with jennifer love hewitt or any movie i just want to see and own. as for indie films there are many that never make to where some of us live. so what do we do we either order them or just download if we can't find it for sell anywhere.
lets see when lacey does start producing her own movies many of us will go to see them. will also download them and then once they're made finally avialiable on whatever dvd format we have we'll buy it. we just want our lacey, no matter what.
i don't know about everyone else but i do download a lot of free stuff. like leaked movies and cds. i've been doing it forever. but i still go and buy the stuff. you obviously don't really know us all. i downloaded spider man3 (awful movie) the day before i went to see it in the theaters, i still wanted the theatrical experiance. will i be buying the movie on dvd...yes. even if it was bad i must get it to go with parts 1 and 2. as for cds, i've had many of my favorite bands albums way before they were officially released. why because i'm a fan of them. once their cd does come out i'll go and buy the real deal. better quality you know. and i support the bands too by going and seeing them in concert, since that's where they really make most of their money from. studios get a lot of their moolah you know. i think the only thing i've ever tried before i buy have been video games. i never try before i buy on anything else. yes i download because i'm a fan and must have the music or movie because i love the stuff and i also buy it because i'm a fan. sometimes i laugh at myself because i'll be going through all my stuff and see a downloaded movie of the pleasure drivers and look up in my dvd stash and see the real one there too. i'll look at my mp3 downloads of death cab for cutie cds and linkin park cds and metallica cds and then over at my real cd stash and see the real ones there too. so you really don't know me or anyone else here well enough to accuse us of everything you ranted on about.
oh wait a second you really don't know us lacey fans at all do you. one post count and you're already complaing.
