They just hate "Hollywood" and want to see "them" punished financially. Among some conservatives Hollywood elites are the last acceptable combatants in "class warfare." This is made worse by the fact that Hollywood actually seems engaged in this battle when, in reality, they're simply trying to cater to a global market.
Yep, they all bitched and moaned about liberals not following the law during the Clinton impeachment, but as soon as one of their pet peeves gets to be the subject, they do exactly what they accused others of.
Its lazy thinking. Its thinking with your heart and emotionally rather than logically. And unfortunatly this place is getting clogged with that kind of non-thinking.
You can't interpret law through the lens of your personal bias. The law is the law, laws are not created to be bent everytime someone wants it to be so it fits their bias.
I don't think "simply trying to cater to a global market" could explain an abomination like V FOR VENDETTA. There is an element in Hollywood that's arrogant, hostile to Judeo-Christian values, and insensitive to the beliefs and desires of ordinary Americans.
That having been said, I have to agree with you on the issue at hand in this thread. Intellectual property is intellectual property. It can't be tampered with without the copyright owner's permission.
