I don't steal movies I buy them, but what really annoys me is the when I buy dvds (I own a few hundred) I have to watch a NAG screen saying DON'T STEEL IT and then have to watch darn promotions of the studios other movies, and I PAID FOR IT! Get that junk off the front of my legit dvds, no wonder people copy them so they don't have to sit through that rubbish.

Spot on, to minimize on the illegal download in New Zealand, we need to keep up with the rest of the world. When a movie/game is released in USA it should be released the same time in New Zealand. If this happened then people would be less to download illegally since they are receiving the goods earlier than having to wait for many more months! We want it now!

My issue is that there is not enough choice in legal TV/ movie downloads. Perhaps in the US or the UK there is a proper selection of TV/ movies to buy or rent on demand. Music choice is mostly good. The result, personally I buy all my music online. CDs too bulky hard to store. Online downloads for movies and TV are too expensive. you buy a season of a show, which I have a few times, and it is really expensive. My comment to any influential reader in that business, look at Apple's App Store model. Low prices attract masses of buyers. Drop the price, increase the choice and it then starts to make the P2P experience look second best and we start buying regularly. Another thing; release TV and movies to buy at the same time or very shortly after programmes or movies have aired. When you live at the bottom of the world waiting years for a programme is not acceptable. Lets face it, instant gratification is the way the masses want...gratifying. On demand is the way its going and should be fully embraced and proper choice and pricing by TV and movie companies and needs to be international and simultaneous or it wont work and downloading illegally will continue.
