Why do people to still watch pirated DVDs?

« Wordless Wednesday – Raindrop My First Blog Award! » Why do people to still watch pirated DVDs? Posted by Karen in General It amazes me that with the cheap price of films on DVD these days that people still decide to watch pirated versions of the films, but why? I was talking to someone recently who had just got around ten films off someone they knew of some of the latest movies in the cinema, so I asked why? Why would you watch films that are so bad in quality it’s like going back to the days of videos? Their answer was this, “There free!” But what about the quality, wouldn’t it be better to see them in the cinema or wait for them to come out on DVD, I got the same answer. My personal point of view is that I would rather see a film in the cinema in glorious surround sound and great picture quality, or wait for the DVD and watch it on a 38inch HD tv with Cinema sound than sit there and watch a film with a crappy picture, muffled sound and the odd occasion hearing people ask if they would like some more popcorn.

I love a trip to the cinema, meeting up with friends and having a talk about the film after, much better that sitting watching something you can’t hear or see properly. Reply Cynthia says: October 12, 2008 at 3:24 pm yeah I’m with you. Actually, I love going out to movies… and I also have an HDTV here at home now. And I hate watching low quality movies and TV shows on it! I’ll defintely pay for better quality. Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: October 12, 2008 at 4:12 pm @Cynthia: Thanks for commenting. I watch a lot of films on Blu-Ray now, fantastic! Reply Babs - beetle says: October 13, 2008 at 10:09 pm I watch very few films, so if I do, It’s because it’s something I really want to see. Why would I want to watch some rubbish pirated version? Give me a decent DVD or the cinema every time! Babs – beetles last blog post..Ducks, ducks, everywhere ducks! Reply Easy says: October 14, 2008 at 6:09 am I think everyone would rather watch the movie at the theater, but you answered your question it is free and there are always going to be people that will give up some confort or quality becuase its free.

As i quirky note, i need to wear my specs to go to the movies or watch tv, but not on my laptop. Just some points. oh hey, snap, I make electronic music too Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: March 20, 2010 at 4:46 pm Hi Matt, thanks for leaving your input, just started following you on Twitter Reply Pam Twitter: sterlingop says: October 25, 2011 at 10:53 am Agree with you!! The whole point of watching a film is for the whole experience, not just to say that you’ve seen it. For me the experience is the music, the atmosphere, the total envelopment of vision you get at the cinema, and to a lesser degree at home (our TV is only 32″ lol!). I don’t watch pirated movies. Never would!
