A note to the movie industry

[method77]

A spoof of science fiction classic "Star Trek" has become Finland's most viewed movie, relying on free distribution over the Internet to reach more than 3 million viewers in less than two months.

"Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" is a full-length feature in Finnish with English subtitles. It was made by a group of students and other amateur film makers with a bare-bones budget and a few home computers to create elaborate special effects.

According to the Finnish Internet hosting company Magenta Sites, which is helping to distribute Star Wreck, 2.92 million copies have been downloaded from the film's Web site since Oct. 1, and an estimated 600,000 copies have gone out through various mirror sites.

Finland's most-viewed film in the movie theaters is war epic "The Unknown Soldier" (1955), also known as "Tuntematon Sotilas," with 2.8 million viewers.

Now, all you movie executives that think the internet is the devil, can't you see what's happening here? FREE ADVERTISMENT AND DISTRIBUTION! FREE! NO MONEY! ZERO!

Perhaps you too can use the internet for your own good and stop pissing on your customers which is us, the net users who pay billions too see your crap movies.

Idiots.
