So thats why its been so hard to find it on bootleg. I though people just didnt care about the movie. Looks like i wont be seeing the movie a 5th time untill it comes out on DVD. So were they arrested while filming it or while selling the actual DVDs?

Serves them right...

I don't get movie pirates... they're thieves who risk alot trying to sneak into a theatre with a camcorder and for what? So a bunch of other, more lazy thieves can download whatever they filmed, without having to pay the entrance fee or risking a fine and possible jail time.

I'm sorry, but if I had to pay close to 10$ to see Transformers, damn it, EVERYONE is going to have to pay to see that movie.

Unless you're content with watching a choppy, shaky out-of-focus bootleg on a 13" little monitor in your crappy apartement full of old leftover pizza (which you paid for... strange that you would pay for a pizza but not for a movie)... in which case, well, there's no helping you... 'cuz you're an idiot.

Good, They should rot in jail for that. By them doing that it stops TF from making more money. And lets face it, TF deserves to make more money, So they can give us more sequals. A local flee market near my house gets busted all the time for selling bootleg copies of movies and the more they get busted the more other people do it. You would think that they would stop after seeing everyone getting caught.

And they say there's no good news in the news these days.. hehe. People are doing themselves a favor by watching this movie in theaters instead of a crappy version of it on their monitor.

And one attempt to blatantly rip it off:

NOTE: It's NOT good, so unless you want to be bored to the point of idiocy for 90 minutes, don't bother.
