Is not as long as you don't share it

Media Piracy,

Depending on who you ask .. But basically this is wat it means :

A copyright is a legal device that gives the creator of a literary, artistic, musical, or other creative work the sole right to publish and sell that work. Copyright owners have the right to control the reproduction of their work, including the right to receive payment for that reproduction. An author may grant or sell those rights to others, including publishers or recording companies. Violation of a copyright is called infringement.

it all boils down to 'payment' - if you have 'paid' for it then its not piracy but if not then its illegal..

About making copies to keep in a harddisk - read the fine print in the dvd/bd box/casing - you cannot do that without 'permission' ..

So, again .. it depends who you ask..

Was actually free to do a movie marathon this weekend.

George Lucas, in 2008, actually said he would make Indiana Jones 5, if he figures out the McGuffin ([A term famously coined by Hitchcock] a device or plot element. In the first, it was the Ark of the Covenant, second the Sankara Stones, the third Holy Grail and the fourth *groan*, crystal skulls...).

So, I actually watched these movies in the reverse order, namely, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The last Crusade etc, etc.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Hahahaha... This universally despised movie, made USD 786,636,033!!!

Think about THAT!! This ia exactly the reason, why Hollywood is obsess with sequel, rather then developing new/original stuff. Guaranteed return of investment.

Having re-watched the movie, it is actually a "decent" movie, and I believe the main criticism, and rightly so, is the McGuffin of the movie is actually weak...

That means I actually appreciate 50% of the movie!

Also sad that with Shia LaBeouf running his mouth after the movie, how the baton/mantel of Indiana Jones is now passed to him and he would be the next Indiana Jones... Steven Spielberg apparently blow at Shia LeBeouf after that.

I actually like the idea (passing the baton)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Have to say, this is probably my favorite "episode" of the series.

They just do not make anything like this anymore.

Right mixture of story/humor/action and of cause, CAST (Sean Connery)!!!

Again being made most practical, also adds to it's charm. (The worst thing about Crystal Skull is the CGI work on the man eating ants sequence)

As I said, they don't make it like that anymore.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

The darkest of the Series!

The MPAA was troubled by this movie, and actually suggested that they would give it an "R" rating... Because it was too dark for the PG rating...

Steven Spielberg called the President of MPAA and suggested a rating between PG and R and PG13 rating was born a few weeks later.

It's all about the people you know!!

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

I am keeping this for another day. Will update one I have watched it.

I am wondering, are there actually people on this forum who had not watched this series before?

Guys, there is a crazy sales now at amazon Canada. Selected title Criterion BD on sale for around CDN 4. Don't know whether got error in price tag. Anyway I just went ahead and order a few, see how it turn out.

I hope u knw d new shpng chrgs of AMZ.CA stnd shpng..

Amazon Canada charged CAD6 a piece for standard shipping, and very likely they will upgrade free to DHL service, means 3 bizness days will arrive at my door step. For Criterion Collection CAD3 plus 6 = CAD9, to say it is a bargain of the century would be an understatement.

But then again, Amazon will probably nullify my order due to the pricing error. Just a few hours after I ordered, the price for those Criterion titles revert to normal price CAD23 at least.

they might honor the price.
this happen before and they did not cancel the order..
what is the status of your purchase now? shipped?

They cancelled all my order, saying it's pricing error. Too bad.

I guess they are more strict now.

I just checked their shpg charges again and it states CAD10 [per ordr] and CAD5.50 [per item] so unless you buy really a lot - I dont see de shpng chrg to be anywhere near CAD6 - I am stating tis cos l was chrgd CAD10 for a long standing ol title ordr which when l first ordrd was for de chrges were CAD 5 + CAD 2.5 but since they hadnt stock then, my order was held open - l tink for a year and then when it finally shipped - it was with the new shpng chrges...
