interesting site! ive been reading it for a while now and it seems this site actively promotes piracy but funny thing is no one actually has stated a proper argument against piracy, why is that? then i looked up some other sites like indianwatchdog.com and http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/9686/ which make no attempt to explain piracy, so another questions begs to be answered, what is the purpose of indiawatchdog.com, who is it run by and why?

and to quote Anant's World "Original DVDs have to pass quality control guidelines which the pirated DVDs never do. The picture quality of pirated DVDs is not as sharp as original DVDs (which is bad for your eyes) and the sound is usually pretty bad" oh pleeeease someone put some sanity into this argument - can someone make a proper case against piracy without propaganda or getting emotional?

:doze:

It is not that this site explicitly condones piracy. Rather in the case of Indian DVDs majority of members feel that the original companies like Eros, Video Sound, WEG etc promote piracy themselves by selling crap quality which is a lot of times actually worse than the pirated DVDs.

As far as making a decent argument against piracy is concerned I am sure quite a few of us can make one. BUt since this is an Indian DVD site and due to the companies involved and the quality produced by them, we find it hard to make the same arguments in their favor.

As for original DVDshaving to pass quality control checks, what a hoot. I don't think Video Sound, WEG or Eros would even recognize quality even if it were to hit them in their face.
