star wars

[micael]

IMHO to get a good and full movie experience go and see it.. And when it's released on DVD buy it.. Never trust crapy DivX or VCD copy's if you really want to have entertainment .

You can find it in some irc channels or you can try downloading Kazaa.....

You can find Kazaa at kazaa.com

how illegal

entirely and completely....kind of like how pregnant are you....you is or you isn't

and or hard would it be to obtain star wars episode 2

not hard at all

im a newbie

really?

and im just trying to measure the pros and cons

to avoid being a con, leave it the the pros

i don't want to actually be led to a site or e-mailed the files

lmao...can you imagine trying to email a divx - you'd have to split it into like 60000 segments...

i just want to know the penalties

15 years $250,000 some places...

just pay the 7 or 8 bucks to go see it..

must be nice...12 bucks here for an evening show...9.50 for a matinee

Honestly, just contact someone in Hong Kong or China and tell them to get it for you. They are all VCDs, Video Compact Disc.

As Valhallen pointed out, it's illegal to obtain a pirated copy of it at all. There is no law that states you're allowed to have it for twenty-four hours, that's just a myth that lets people justify what they're doing.

Technically speaking, with something like software, you could have more than one installed copy, as long as only one copy of the program was in use at any given point in time.

At any rate, pirating or obtaining a pirate copy of Star Wars is not a good idea. Just fork over the bucks and go see it at the movie theatre. It'll help Lucas pay for the next installment, and hopefully that'll pay for VII, VIII, and IX.
