Warner Bros: Passive-aggressively encouraging piracy since 1918.
So Warner Bros. has restricted rental companies such as Redbox and Neftlix from offering its movies until 28 days after movies hit retail shelves.
Wow. Seriously? Wow.
I'm at a loss for words.
Do they not realize that doing stupid crap like this is what turns people to piracy? To quote the first comment on the above article, "The more they try to restrict people from legally seeing their movies, the faster they will accelerate the proliferation of their content through torrent sites." This is absolutely 100% correct.
Redbox is a genius idea. Redbox is so smart and reasonable, I stopped pirating movies. And they want to wait a month before releasing movies for rental? So people can buy them retail? Who the hell still purchases movies? Especially new movies? Have Warner Bros. actually watched any of the movies they've been putting out the past few years? But I digress, my rant on crappy movies if for another time.
Warner Bros, I don't understand you. Unless maybe you're doing it on purpose to increase piracy so you can bitch about it some more. Man, I wish I could have an 11.7 billion dollar revenue.

You might be right but that doesn't mean you aren't a douche.

You miss the point, Foomer. These huge conglomerates continue to alienate the consumers, wonder why their sales drop, and then blame it on some piracy. The same thing happened with the auto industry. The problem here is, the buying power of consumers has been severely limited. What happened when no one bought crappy American made cars? We paid for them anyway, with our tax dollars. Excellent.
