We're all for Pirates, but not for Piracy!

As some of us gather at the theaters tonight to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (for a whopping 168 minutes!) without a break, I'd like to bring up some slight humor about the movie and actual digital piracy. As *real* digital pirates might know, the MPAA has made serious measures to protect the series. Now we're talking about Pirates right? Well Pirates and Piracy are different things and thus the new slogan is that: "it's cool to be for Pirates, but not for Piracy!" Contradiction? No way... In fact, one of the Pirate groups in this movie is the Singapore Pirates who (ironically) nowadays are responsible for some of the biggest digital piracy (next to Vietnam I suppose).

The bottom line is that the biggest benefit of the Internet is also its demise! Don't think for a second that just because you got up to use the bathroom 1 1/2 hours through the movie and missed a really good part, you're allowed to dL that torrent and watch that scene at home! Especially if you just bought a brand new HDTV Projector System with 7.1 surround sound! No way HOSE!

So there!

On a side note, because of Don Imas, "Yo H*, Yo H*" might label you as a racist, so watch what you say at the theaters!
