Terry Gilliam on Piracy

Tags: 

This seems to be making the rounds, and seeing as I just watched (and, despite the reviews, enjoyed) The Brothers Grimm, thought I'd share Terry Gilliam's views on piracy:

It's hard for me to worry about the studios losing money. I'm not very sympathetic to their money problems, because they certainly haven't been sympathetic to mine.When you look at one of their accounting sheets you realise you're never going to see a penny, so if someone wants to rip them off that's fine with me.If you're going to pirate, though, make sure the quality's good. Have some respect for what you're pirating!

Always fun to read about what Gilliam is up to, even if it did piss me off all over again that the Weinsteins wouldn't let him cast Samantha Morton.

Not a Gilliam fan by any means, though I agree wholeheartedly with what he is saying here. Reminds me of how encouraging Joss Whedon has been regarding pirating.

Most of the movies I pirate aren't worth a damn anyway.
