: : : And the question:
: : : View Askew's opinion of the piracy of their films and other intellectual
: : property...
: : Of course, I'm not a fan. It's a violation of sorts, and you wish anyone
: : who was a fan wouldn't partake in that particular type of theft.
: : But then, I don't own any of the films (although, I get the British rights
: : to 'Clerks' back in about eighteen years; domestically, Miramax owns the
: : film in perpetuity). So it's not really me they're stealing from.
: : And when you remove whatever the commercial impact may be and strip away
: : the moral issues... well, it IS kind of flattering that someone (or a bunch
: : of someones) care about your shit enough to steal it in the first place.
: : So - as View Askew spokes-model - I guess I can say that our feelings on
: : piracy of our flicks is that we wish it wouldn't go on... but we understand
: : it.
: : Interesting factoid: 'Clerks' is the most stolen tape in video stores
: : across the country.
