So I was thinking just before, all these movies that get pirated and stuff and all the MPAA or whatever try to sue people for copying their movies.

This was while I was reading the wiki page for 10,000 BC and I see the budget was $105 million but the gross worldwide revenue was $268 million. So they got $168 million for doing that movie. And this is a movie that got rated poorly.

That is quite a pretty penny, of course it has to be distributed amongst all the actors/writers/directors etc, but seems like they’d be living comfortably off that.

So I wouldn’t feel guilty pirating that movie. And thats $168 million from cinema’s alone, so there is still all the rentals, and the DVD purchases for the many many people who do buy DVD’s. It still feels cheap to give someone a copied DVD as a gift for a birthday or christmas and stuff.

So I think they should stop being so greedy.
