It is widely believed that uploaded films make them accessible to audiences that would otherwise not know of their existence, thus encouraging, not harming sales of DVDs, etc.
Countless times I have been told that a DVD purchase was made AFTER viewing the film online. True, there are folks who just buy cheap DVDs w/out knowing anything about the film or by judging by the cover of the case. But by and large, most buyers of DVD classic films (pre 1960, for example) already have seen the flick either online or on television. And like television, the flash format online version is no comparison to the 'hard copy' DVD one can purchase. If The Cinemated Man or other sites which follow strict copyright usage guidelines are 'bootleg' than so is network television.
I understand your worries concerning uploaded DVD rips, bittorrents, etc and the problems for filmmakers and distributors that 'bootleg' uploads can cause. But rest assured The Cinemated Man doesn't bootleg and always plays by the rules. But don't just take my word for it, check it out. Peace. -Miles
