    If I want to see a movie so badly, I’d rather go to the cinema rather than watch a low-quality camrip.

    Given that some films are getting post-release edits before they appear on streaming or physical media, it might be a good idea just from an archival perspective.

    I’m not a good judge of piracy methods for consumption, as I am currently willing to pay their prices or do without.

    Back in the early days, watching a cammed movie was tolerable because the 480p rips that we’d otherwise get were so heavily compressed that there’d be hardly any step up in quality. It was also usually the fastest way I could find a new movie.

    These days, releases get leaked from inside the studio all the time, at full quality, so there’s not really any legitimate need for cammed movies anymore.

      I would not say “all the time” at least the movies I watch, but it is mostly only some months (if even) until a movie is available on some streaming service and gets ripped in 4k

    Reminds me of the good ol’ days in the 90s. Watching cam recordings and people standing up or taking loudly the entire movie.

    Haven’t watched a cam recording in decades. Don’t plan on doing that again.

    I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn’t but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.

    So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.

          I have no idea. I throw money in a burn barrel in front of movie studios and they mail me direct to laserdisc masterpieces.
