kryptonitemonkey | Star Wars leak.

You know, I find something quite disturbing about that whole episode III leak on the internet. Not the leak itself, mind you. It's pretty much a given that movies are going to be leaked online anymore. It's really the reaction of Lucas and his company that seems a little hypocritical to me. I mean, the day it comes out, it's been leaked to the net, which I will grant is bad, but they have a freaking cow about how they're being screwed over and money is being lost. Dude, they made insane amounts of money on the first day alone! Hell, it probably made more than most movies do in a week or more, depending on how good it is. It just seems odd to me, "Yeah, we just raked in tens of millions yesterday, but some people online are getting it for free! This can't be tolerated! We must make more! How can we be rich otherwise? Oh wait..." I'm not standing up for bootleggers, but geez, it's hard to stand up for the rich multimillionaire too.
