Movies are something that mostly everyone watches and I do love watching them. I have seen an abundance of movies, maybe not all the classics but I will get there some day. I torrent the movies that I want to watch. I think many others do the same without really thinking about the big picture. There are consequences to these actions but some people do not pay attention to them, so what are they?
One consequence is that people can face is a hefty fine. At the low end of $150 to a staggering 150k per move that was pirated. Even face jail time if the violation is criminal. Maximum sentences vary from as short as one year to as long as ten years depending on the violation.
People might know what they are doing is illegal but still decide to do it anyway. Most people go through the same thought process as I do which is that I won’t get caught, they have bigger people to go after. Is it really worth the risk though?
Many people say that the downloading of movies hurts the entertainment industry. This is something to consider. Does it really hurt the big corporations? Most of the top pirated movies are still on top at the box office. I feel it hurts the little guy more than the bigger corporations.
Looking at this you should buy that movie or go to the theater instead of downloading it illegally. You wouldn’t steal a car or purse shouldn’t it be the same for a movie?
