You're watching a movie based on an Ayn Rand book and you want to steal?

The irony.

[HotSo0P]

Hopefully never. Buy, don't steal. If you appreciate art, don't rob the artist.

[pacifiedfools]

@HotSo0P If I were giving the money completely to the Artist, then I would buy. Unfortunately, about 80% go to the producing company. It's the same thing with music.

@wikihog See my response to Wejer3 and also consider: after the costs of the theatrical release in America, more money was invested and risked to create a special edition DVD with extras like the deleted scenes which had to be subtitled and an original making-of documentary. The film was licensed by the Ayn Rand's estate and copyright 1986. Read Ayn Rand to understand the importance of property rights.

@Wejer3 Rationalize stealing any way you like, my friend. The fact is that several private investors risked their personal money so that this movie, which was on the verge of being forever lost, could be recovered, restored, have gratuitous WWII propaganda scenes removed (at the request of Ayn Rand), translated, and subtitled. Then more money was risked to release this film in America (where their is virtually no market for old B/W Italian films) and pay distribution and advertising costs...

[dscottprod]

@Wejer3 Money was risked again to produce "extras" for the DVD release including subtitled deleted scenes and an original making-of documentary, which is almost unheard of in classic foreign DVD releases. The copyright date for the restored film is 1986, by the way. So, yes, I WILL bother to complain on behalf of Ayn Rand.

"They're not afraid of things that are lovely."

Free people do not need to fear goods that are lovely and precious. Collectivists do. Collectivists have to banish items that show the superiority of free minds and free markets. The blessings of liberty embarrass the collectivists. The wealth of nations must be kept from the slaves of the collective State, lest they realize how superior life is in a free land with a free market.

[HotSo0P]

Look, fact is that someone owns the rights to this movie. By downloading from a torrent, you're stealing from them.

And the copyright issue you're referring to was spoken in the context of industry and inventions, not art.

[Wejer3]

Actually the artist/producer lived in Mussolini's Italy more than 70 years ago... so he is pretty dead. The copyright has switched hands and it no longer lies with the producer.

IIRC Ayn Rand hinted that copyright should only last about 25-30 years (why that long? No one knows *shrug*), so if you want to complain on behalf of Ayn Rand, dont bother.
