If someone actually want to see the movie in a theater, they are going to buy a ticket since watching a shaky cell phone recording is in no way comparable to actually watching a movie on the big screen.

Who the hell is still watching cam rips?

I don't know. I watched about 5 minutes of one once before deleting it and never downloaded another cam after that. Obviously the MPA thinks a lot of people are watching them if they are still whining about it.

That's pretty much all you can find while a movie is in first run. Most sites I know of will actually delete prerelease movies (that aren't cam rips) because they bring too much negative attention.

I remember watching The Purge in a movie theater with my dad. After the movie, i found out from my friend there was already a rip (clear copy) in torrent sites.

I'm not sure if my country (in SEA region) is just slower in releasing movies compared to the west or if the movie is just not good in theaters so theres already dvd for it.
