Whether their business decisions to date have been good, bad or indifferent has no bearing on whether it's right or wrong to now sue illicit downloaders.
Would it really be any different if they had made a fortune? I think not.
- ars 16y agoFrom the article: "Locker" first leaked onto the web more than five months before its U.S. release and was a hot item in P2P circles after it won six Oscars in March. Despite the accolades, the film grossed only about $16 million in the U.S. "Only $16 million" is their own fault, not the fault of the "P2P circles" as implied. They were idiots and now they are trying to blame pirates for the lost business, when actually the pirates have no impact on profits. It's not right or wrong to sue - it's stupid.
