http://www.megavideo.com/?v=BJ2GPXWZ
Or just bittorrent it :P
60.Minutes.US.2009.11.01.HDTV.XviD-YT - OblivionMage, on 11/03/2009, -0/+20Complain about the segment here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/feedback/fb_news_for ... - dupajuda, on 11/03/2009, -2/+19That ***** is clearly illegally downloading a movie himself and in fact should be fined. So the MPAA is a hypocritical organization?
- NeddieSeagoon, on 11/03/2009, -0/+16We're supposed to listen to a man who can't tell the difference between a cylinder and a cone?
- xero69, on 11/03/2009, -3/+17People who still watch 60 minutes regularly are probably to old to Internet anyways... but wait that same audience is retired and turns out in droves to vote! Oh shi....
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -1/+14***** the RIAA
- Tarnum, on 11/03/2009, -0/+13IMHO the internet and the torrents practically killed the CD/DVD piracy.
Is is possible to make money from torrents? I mean big money, the thing that will get the crooks interested? I don't think so.
The old CD piracy was connected the organized crime, yes. That was when people hired CD production plants to make music and software CDs, bribed cops to look the other way when CDs war sold on the street, etc. Not anymore. Have you seen a pirated CD/DVD stand in the last 10 years? - warbird, on 11/03/2009, -0/+11Best part is when she says something like " (...)Snoring in the theater. I wonder why people even wanna watch these things."
I think she's really talking about all the crap movies coming out. - AmazingSteve, on 11/03/2009, -2/+1160 minutes = old men making noise. Nothing more. It hasn't been relevant in 20 years.
- AngelBunny, on 11/03/2009, -2/+11I thought 60 minutes was USAs most trusted news source... *sigh*
- IMustBeEmo, on 11/03/2009, -0/+7yeah I laughed when they said the guy was uploading movies to the internet AND had 13,000 copied DVDs in his home which he intended to sell. One or the other would make sense, but both is just ridiculous...
- quaxon, on 11/03/2009, -0/+7This is my absolute favorite piece of MPAA propaganda
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZZx1xmAzg - MrCanard, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6Techdirt did a good job of covering the 60 Minutes piece here,
http://techdirt.com/articles/20091101/1818186751.s ... - AngelBunny, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6edit: I didn't realize it wasn't the entire ep. Sorry about that. the megavideo link is right.
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -0/+5It wasn't ridiculous when they linked file sharing to the Mexican mafia.
It wasn't ridiculous when they said piracy costs Hollywood $6B/year
It wasn't ridiculous when they only presented views expressed by the MPAA and Steven Soderbergh.
It got ridiculous when I found out there were DVD-sniffing dogs. - IMustBeEmo, on 11/03/2009, -0/+4My parents have watched 60 Minutes for years now and IIRC it wasn't this sensationalist until recently, say the past year or two. But 2 years ago I was 14 so I have to wonder...
Andy Rooney was actually decent at the end this time though. - greevar, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3The worst kind of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
- warbird, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3@wikinerd:
Just rewatched the clip from the megavideo link below, and I can't see they mention it being Angels and Demons. Its also too blurry to see what it says in the client... - icanrule, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3If I went to the theater to see a movie and found out we weren't allowed to bring our electronics into the theater I would walk out and pirate the movie.
- bungoman, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3Anyone who watches cam rips, especially after blu-ray rips are available, deserves to be tarred and feathered. Just sayin.
- wikinerd, on 11/03/2009, -1/+4I'm quite sure that they did mention that the movie is 'Angels and Demons'...
"Right now we are downloading a copy of Angels and Demons [...]"
And I'm pretty sure that the that movie is included among the MPAA's list of titles (Angels and Demons, if I'm correct, is made by Sony.) - meed, on 11/03/2009, -1/+3Do you really expect anything else from a major media outlet?
- Stoyanov, on 11/03/2009, -0/+2Steven Soderbergh has just lost all my respect.
- gubatron2, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1I was wondering if there was a cone inside the cylinder for a moment.
- ArthurSucks, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1He lost my respect when he made that turd Erin Brockovich.
- Iceman21, on 11/03/2009, -1/+2Haha.
- Pushkin, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1There must be money to be made, why else is twitter flooded with Oh Yeaah I downloaded Paranormal Activity http://bit.ly/bla #MichaelJackson #mondaymusic
- DoctorFungus, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1tsk tsk.. it's an infinitely long cone...
- NeddieSeagoon, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1The download is going to take a while then...
- pigfister, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1
lets not for get who is actually behind the MPAA - RIAA, these are the companies that need to be targeted and boycotted into changing their ways, purchase only 2nd hand media and do not purchase anything branded sony, why allow the fecktards to dictate Orwellian hardware DRM designed to take away rights not to stop piracy anymore.
Name and shame the companies as all the **AA trade group name is for is to protect the corporate globalists from bad press.

If Sony payola (google it) wasn't bad enough to destroy indie competition you have this:

RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio
http://slashdot.org/articles/07/04/29/0335224.shtm ...
"With the furor over the impending rate hike for Internet radio stations, wouldn't a good solution be for streaming internet stations to simply not play RIAA-affiliated labels' music and focus on independent artists? Sounds good, except that the RIAA's affiliate organization SoundExchange claims it has the right to collect royalties for any artist, no matter if they have signed with an RIAA label or not. 'SoundExchange (the RIAA) considers any digital performance of a song as falling under their compulsory license. If any artist records a song, SoundExchange has the right to collect royalties for its performance on Internet radio. Artists can offer to download their music for free, but they cannot offer their songs to Internet radio for free ... So how it works is that SoundExchange collects money through compulsory royalties from Webcasters and holds onto the money. If a label or artist wants their share of the money, they must become a member of SoundExchange and pay a fee to collect their royalties.'"

Because that blind link probably leads you to a malware site which leaves you a nice little keylogger to steal your online banking password. If you go "directly to the source" so to speak, you won't encounter organized criminals. - AngelBunny, on 11/03/2009, -4/+3that is not the entire video on megavideo btw. regardless, thanks for letting everyone know the date of the ep so it is easy to find.
- warbird, on 11/03/2009, -4/+3How would you know? They never state what movie they are downloading. Maybe they are grabbing Steal This Film (www.stealthisfilm.com).
