You're right of course bobby, but then thats something that the cinemas and the movie studios need to address....

They might finally realise that they can't just promote the shiz out of some w*nk film and make a profit from it. And the cinemas need to get better by kicking noisey chav's out and making people want to be there....

Like the Odeon on Festival Park or the cinema in Stafford... the legroom is awful, you can't see over the afro haired person in front, the seats are old and tatty....

contrast that to the Vue cinema in NUL which is fantastic... I would go there any day of the week over those other two.

indeed.. i went to star city to see trannies 2 last weekend, and couldn't believe the difference.. seats big enough to accomodate michelle mcmanus, steeply tiered so you'd be able to see past even the tallest of freaks, and my feet didn't stick to the floor once.. my only criticism was that the sound system was pretty terrible - no bass at all, and as a result the mids were really harsh and was a bit abrasive on the ol' eardrums after a while..

On 15 January 2010, Alan Ellis was unanimously declared not guilty.

If you would like to get in touch with Alan, you can do so here: contact@alanellis.co.uk.

The solicitors representing Alan Ellis in the case were Morgan Rose with Alex Stein as the barrister.

According to BBC before he was "making" £11k a month from donations to the site?!?!?!?!
i'm sure he was doing pretty well out of it, but i'd be surprised if it was anywhere near that!

Whilst I understand your scepticism, I doubt it would be presented to a jury if it were not true and with records to back it up

"The jury was told that police found almost US $300,000 (£183,580) in Mr Ellis's Paypal account and that he received $18,000 (£11,000) a month in donations from people using his website."

Where did those figures originally come from? The BPI?
Whatever, I'm seriously considering a career change.
Stuart Campbell comments on App Store piracy rates here. (If you can't be bothered to click: they're bushlit.) There's also a lovely series of posts on Another Forum that carefully and systematically dismantle claims by FACT about DVD piracy, revealing them to be conniving innumerate shots. I'll fish a link out eventually. :)
Basically: whatever The Establishment tells you about piracy and its effects, most of the time they're juggling with the numbers.
Or, more accurately, lying through their teeth.
