Movies

I don't think Hollywood should be too concerned about movie pirating in North America. They should fear Romania instead.

I haven't rented a movie here yet. I have no idea how much it costs to borrow a VHS or DVD. However, I will soon become acquainted with the underground DiXV scene.

Basically, people run DiVX rental places from their apartments. They send out a list of DiXV as an Exel file and you make an apointment to choose which ones you want to rent. They're either 5,000 or 10,000 lei for 24 hours. Most people borrow them and then burn their own copies.

So we're going to make an appointment one of these days to get some movies.

Unfortunately, we don't have a scene like in Belgrade where they sell DiVX on the side of the road. They make us do all the work in Romania!
