| 466155 | 2006-06-26 20:58:00 | Movies Downloads? Why not buy the DVD? It is a lot cheaper. Than download. Vallis, I also am wondering why you or anyone would bother to download a movie. Even if the movie is not available at your local VidEzy or other shop, there are the online NZ shops like Fatso or Amazon in the USA. So why bother? :confused: |

I'm doing the sums to see if downloading movies, cancelling Sky movie package and upping my Internet bandwidth would make economic sense. |

| 466157 | 2006-06-26 22:01:00 | ...........Hearing that term from a Brit or NZ'r or Australian does not conjure up any disrespectful reaction by most Americans............ I don't suppose the Iraqis have cottoned onto the ancient Anglo-Saxon phrase "Go Home Yank" yet - or was it Celtic? :-) Then there was the traditional warcry of: "overpaid, over sexed and over here". Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose |

| 466159 | 2006-06-26 23:06:00 | It is not worth paying for downloaded movies and THEN having to pay for ridiculously data cap (plans) to do it here in NZ. Makes for a very expensive download. From a cost point of view the only realistic way to do it is pirate the movies which of course can't be condoned, however it is the reality here in NZ. Luckily attitudes are changing, however Telecom have done a great job on programming people into thinking these ridiculous data caps are necessary due to the cost of International capacity, which is expensive but NOT that expensive. |

| 466160 | 2006-06-26 23:51:00 | Not too long ago there was a thread on hiring movies online and getting them delivered. From memory several people mentioned that they were able to get good movies that the local hire shops don't generally stock. That would seem to be the best option. Steve_L, weren't you one of the members who hired movies this way? |

| 466162 | 2006-06-27 02:20:00 | I believe that there is a rather large gap in our copyright law, which states that you are allowed to "own" a copy of something, such as a movie for a period of three days, after which you must destroy your copy if you didnt buy the rights to the original. Perhaps someone can confirm this to be true? Since it sounds like you want to do things the legal way - it would be fine if this is the case..... BTW - I'm not some crackpot, :lol: I am about 90% sure this is how the system works, it stems from the law about hiring copyright stuff I think. |
