A full length version (though unrendered) of the unreleased movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine was leaked on the internet.

Ethics-noun
a set of moral principles, esp. ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field, or form of conduct

Let's talk about nethics- (a new word as far as I know- I like making words lol). ethics using the medium of the internet.

I only found out around this past January that you can watch (without downloading, but streaming video)full length feature films online (I can hear the youth laughing cuz I'm way behind the times). I told my 60 something yr old mother, and she didn't believe me. 'How could you possibly in any way be able to watch feature films online, soon after their their releases (let alone before!) for free?' Mai own mother didn't believe me, until I showed her.

Most online movies are usually 'bootleg' copies, where someone paid to see the movie at the theatre, videotaped it and put it on the Net. But honestly, I still don't know how an unreleased movie like Wolverine could be leaked UNLESS by someone working on the film. However, before the net, you could BUY bootleg copies from street vendors, but now they just put it on the net for no profit? That's kinda weird. A sort of recession time, entertainment- Robin Hooding? You decide...

It's theft. It's wrong. But its a de facto practice by many.

Pro
Movies require millions of dollars, and make millions of dollars, movie stars and celebrities make exorbitant amounts of money performing (often producing great works of art) essentially a needless service.

When I was about 8 or 9yrs old, I was angered, confused, and saddened to the point of tears when I understood the wage differences between athletes (celebrities) and teachers. I didn't understand how such an important job (teaching), was so less monetarily valued. Now of course I understand the industry of art and the industry of education...

We are in a recession, and it's survival of the fittest, would Darwin watch movies for free online??? I'm not sure, but I believe many who watch movies online wouldn't wouldn't bother to watch them at all if they weren't online.

Con
Bootlegged films will make less money. The stars will be the last to suffer.
Sure the studios loose money, but in the most direct of ways the movie theatres will be hurt. Their janitors, popcorn vendors, ticket sellers, the average working people. Not to mention the people who work tirelessly at places like BlockBuster.

With this in mind, are they still worth watching in this manner?
