Transformers Movie: the most pirated film of 2007

Postby i_amtrunks » Wed Jan 02, 2008 5:56 pm

The Transformers Movie has added another record to it's seemingly ever growing list, only this time it is a record that Paramount are sure not to want;

According to torrentfreak.com, Transformers was the most downloaded Film of 2007.

Torrentfreak.com reports that the Transformers Movie was downloaded a whopping 569,259 times from a single torrent site alone. Meaning the actual number is likely to be much much higher.

The Transformers Movie was downloaded 60,000 times more than the 2nd most downloaded film of the year "Knocked Up".

Seibertron.com would like to stress that it in no way endorses or supports torrent sharing, or illegal downloading of any kind in any way, shape or form.
Awesomesauce; Use it, you know you want to.

It doesn't surprise me that hardly anyone wants to pay full price to watch it. Besides it is no crime to watch. They even show newly released dvd movie titles on the tv screens on Circuit City or other electronic stores. But selling pirated copies that is a no - no. If you don't want to end up in jail and pay a huge fine later. Yikes!

Um. Yes it is. It is against the law to pirate media and software. Whether you be uploading it or downloading it, it's still illegal.

And showing new movies at Circuit City is not the same. The company has paid to have those movies in the store. Try sitting in front of one of those TV's for 2 hours and $5 says some nice fellows will escort you either to a different section or out of the store entirely. Not because you didn't pay but because you're loitering.

Its a sad, sad reality. From personal experience just buying something over ebay or where ever, you really don't know what your getting until you get it. Paid 50 bucks for a DVD set only to find out it was pirated. All in all, you may not be the one downloading but unknowingly paying for something that was pirated makes you a victim.

Is this any surprise to the fandom? The same group that drops hundreds of dollars for prototype figures that 'somehow' got out of the factory, instead of waiting three months to pay ten bucks?
