personally I want to see lots of movies but can't always justify the £6.00 per ticket at my local multiplex. So I go and see the "must see on the big screen" ones and download the rest. If I see it or down load it and I like It I always replace my bootleg with the real deal when it is released .... ... I download them for myself and my family ... I don't sell them on ... I am a big movie fan with a low income ... but as I replace all worthwhile movies and see the blockbusters at the flicks I can't see how I am "harming " the cinema industry ... lower the ticket prices and I will stop downloading them. Video piracy has been around since before most of you were even born .... I am sure I am not the only person on here who is now in their thirties who remembers when their parents gave them a 100th generation bootleg copy of ET .... That was back in the days when cinema to video took about 18 months.... and I can tell you now the quality was abismal ... but every kid had one. It didn't stop Spielberg re-releasing it at the cinema four years later in 1986 and it still took good money. Guess what I bought it on VHS when it finally came out ... again on it's twentieth anniversary and now am the proud owner of a collectors edition DVD. If you don't like Pirates DVD's don't buy them ... but everyone is entitled to make their own decisions in life and if we are not harming people in any way then I say go for it.

1. ....Everytime I wandered past the Jeff Wayne War of the Worlds stall I overheard some poor bloke having to explain that SM made a mistake and that My Wayne was only ever going to be there on saturday ... sounds like there were a fair few upset people 2. ...Jason wears vibrant shirts that it makes him easy to spot when people want to complain .... over heard people having a moan everytime I walked past him .... one that sticks in my mind were complaints about the ever increasing price of Warwick "wicket" Davis! 3. ... when I get to meet Ron Perlman early sunday morning I was told that SM had simply run out of Hellboy stills ..... huh ... Typical as the rest were c**p

1. Unless he has a psychic link with the so-called stalker how would he even know she was there? 2. If the stalker was "removed" what was the problem? 3. If the stalker was real ... sorry .. a real threat why not hire better bodyguards?? 4. If he was really there how come no one set out his photo selections at any point during the day to browse in the queue ?? 5. No show on saturday, no show on sunday ..... pattern? Discuss ........
