i am watching the grammys, the emmys, and all the events that the hollywoood elite are attending and something struck me
hollywood is whining about piracy ,you know the bootlegs DVD,d and how it is hurting hollywood,yet at the grammy i see rappers and actresses with diamonds that are exceeeding quarter of a miliion bucks. Maybe i am missing something but when i see p.diidy and all those showbizzers with all their BLING ,is DVD piracy realy hurting anybody.
and when you see the amount of money spent on the glitz and glam and champagne i think there may a liitle lie or two.
if the people behind the scenes are getting screwed should they not be protesting at the exhorberant over inflated fees that the actors are getting it seems film and music biz are whinging about piracy yet,they are all not going broke , john travolta has two planes parked outside his house ,i really can see where the piarcy is digging into his gas tank of his 747
maybe hollywood is being affected by the piracy but like always the rich are not getting slapped it is the poor technicians who only earn six figures in california that are struggling .
if the actors were not so greedy and delved into their pockets to pay for those sorry poeple then video piracy may not be an issue
i mean why pay $8 to see a film when you can buy the hot bootleg for $10 that does not make sense in my eyes i have got many bootlegged DVD'S and bet you tons of people have
maybe if the corportate movie theatres were not so greedy like the famous and were realistic about their prices maybe piracy might slow down ,but the movie theatre prices are extortion so why go there when you can buy
these rich people are the victims of their own circumstances and i have no pity on the greedy
