4 edits |  Another BBR attempt to justify music pirating
This is about the 50th attempt(probably a slight exaggeration; very slight) over the last year by BBR to justify music pirating. I'd like to see the reasons that they think stealing music is a justified activity. Sure the music publishers make tons of money, and they only promote certain artists. But that doesn't justify the stealing. If artists want to control their own fate, let them get together, find some investors, and start their own distribution channels outside of the RIAA. Let them distribute using P2P channels, and let them depend on voluntary PayPal accounts to make some profits. And about 2 yrs down the road, the artists and their investors will be whining like the RIAA about the lowlifes not paying for their work.

| I don't think they are justifying anything. I think they are just talking about the new technology that doesn't allow a person to legally transfer a purchased song onto their i-pod and how the technology that does not allow i-pod usage is not doing as it is intended (i.e. stop pirating) I think they are showing the irony. |

I don't see that blurb as promoting stealing. The points are that:
1. Copy protection schemes merely add a few extra minutes to the initial rip and don't effectively stop illegal distribution.
2. DRM and copy protection schemes only punish those who buy the music legitimately and then find it difficult or impractical to use on common devices.

| There's a workaround:
"Sony BMG, a joint venture between Japan's Sony and Germany's Bertelsmann, said users can get the music onto iPods by transferring files to a PC, burning them to a CD, ripping the tunes to the hard drive and finally transferring them into Apple's iTunes software."
Quoted from the linked article. Cumbersome, but if you want to iPod this there's a legal way after all. |

Anyway, if it can be protected, it can be broken......shift keys, sharpies, rip-burn-rip and "Hey, can I borrow a few hundred of your cds ole buddy!" come to mind:D

Are you purposely overlooking this part of the BBR news item:
Of course, despite the DRM, P2PNet points out the album is still being freely copied, one of the songs off it holding the number one spot among illegally traded rock music files. Despite that, the album has topped the charts - selling 736,000 units since launch, (and 23,000 digital copies).

Point out where this blurb "justifies" piracy? It points out DRM attempts are failing. It also points out music sales are strong despite piracy.
You're in such a rush to grab the first spot on every news post every day on every subject, I'm pretty sure you don't actually read any of them. |

Re: Another BBR attempt to justify music pirating
Thank you for pointing out my argument. The technology that is supposed to stop illegal copying is only stopping legal copying! |

Typical neocon response...kneejerk reaction without understanding what you're seeing.
BBR is QUOTING another web site news article...they cannot be held responsible for the NEWS they report...it's like blaming Saddam for Osama Bin Laden...
oh wait, the Republican's are doing that too...
This country's in deep doo doo man..Corporate interests rule, both political parties have sold out to the money god, and the freedoms we held so dear are disappearing at an alarming rate.
Go coddle another multi-billion dollar corporation and keep yer paws off DSLR.
I am an avowed Conservative libertarian, compare me to a liberal at your own risk.

I don't see a denial that you think copyright infringement(theft) is ok or that you haven't posted article after article defending the practice. The editorial selection of news stories shows what you think.

| Copyright infringement? Where?
If you purchased the album legally, please explain where copyright infringement happens? I bought it, they took away my right to play a legally purchased CD on my ipod, so I downloaded a LEGAL COPY from a P2P network.
There's no infringement there. nothing to see.

You're flailing your arms. I think DRM doesn't work. I think suing customers doesn't work. I think the industry can't and won't adapt. I believe in fair use rights. But we've never "justified piracy".
Still waiting for evidence this article "justifies" piracy. Can't provide any? |

Re: Another BBR attempt to justify music pirating
i think this artcicle here is simply explaining whats going on with the albubm, no where does it say "its ok to steal music, download as much as you can!". i seen something on CNN the other day talking about how music theft is growing, are they supporting it too?
"Of course, despite the DRM, P2PNet points out the album is still being freely copied, one of the songs off it holding the number one spot among illegally traded rock music files. Despite that, the album has topped the charts - selling 736,000 units since launch, (and 23,000 digital copies)."
where in there does it say its ok to steal music?
if you dont like BBR and their news that they give out, no one here is forcing you to read it. |

If what Karl Bode is saying is not true then why are most of your first posts a short one or two sentence post that is edited right after posting almost every time to make the post go along with the subject matter?
He is not the only one noticing.....

Wrong!
The BBR article summarizes stories from »australianit.news.com.au/article···,00.html and »p2pnet.net/story/5818. It makes no attempt to justify anything. Don't you think if it did, the RIAA would jump on them quickly? Of course, you are free to read it & draw what conclusions you will, but they are just repeating facts from other media outlets.
What has me concerned is that you buy a CD legally and since you have an iPod & don't want to scratch & ruin the CD, you want to rip it off the CD and put the music there - but you can't. Why not? Because of the stupid DRM on the CD. So you download the music [you've already paid for it] and put it on your iPod. In that case, I'm sorry, I don't see it as stealing.
Now, if you wanted to rip it off the CD & share it out on the internet [through whatever means], that's a different story. But if you want to take a piece of music, that you own [and have paid for] and to put on a piece of personal equipment (iPod), you shouldn't be prevented from doing so. Period. |
