Will putting a couple segments really deter someone from buying a movie? No. The quality is terrible, the sound is terrible, you dont get bonus features and you cant just watch it on tv when youre not online. I just watched 3 segments from TBC. I want to buy that movie more than ever. Sometimes teasers are just teasers and it's good to get a good feel for the movie, and I like what I've seen so far, so I will try to buy tbc if I can find money. You exagerate when you say that people are putting halves of ski movies on youtube. The only thing close to that is rastafaride and thats a movie that's hard to find.
I really don't see why it's so bad to post a segment from a ski movie. It's when you get to posting whole movies that it's bad. But seriously, for anyone that has seen T heed's wicked segment, is there anyone that now that they have seen it, that will not buy Wicked? I'm def. going to try to get it if I can afford it.
People say I don't have $30 for a ski movie, and then people tell them to get a job. Now it's like you need $210 for ski movies because there are so many good movies to choose from(210=30x7. count them, Idea, level 1, plehouse, pbp, msp, rage, tgr). Out of those I would like to get 5 or 6(Ihate msp), but I can only afford 3. Sometimes its nice to see a segment or two of a ski movie you would not be able to buy anyway. I can't spend
$100 on ski movies every year. I have a job. I can barely afford to
go to school and ski, let alone buy ski movies. But I still support
the production companies I love. I will always buy level 1 and
plehouse, no matter what. I also love rage, but I can really only
afford to get 3 ski movies, so I will get Idea instead, because I think
it will be more important and better. Theres almost no way anyone can buy every ski movie each year, especially with am films too. People need to relax on this subject. Posting segments on youtube is ok so long as it is not historic.
