Staten Island, NY | He realizes he will anger the customer...
but he chooses DRM, low bitrate, low quality, high price distribution systems anyway.
He doesn't realize a thing. |

What an easy concept they do not grasp.
Lower the price, offer better content and they will come.

|  An easy, workable, foolproof DRM system is the key
The MPAA is right in trying to get a DRM standard that is interoperable across platforms and device types. If the DRM software was basically invisible to the user while allowing content to be viewed and easily transferred to PC, DVD player, & portable devices then they would get many more people to pay for their products. They certainly have the clout to pressure the device makers to agree to a standard. They should spend most of their lobbying money to make that happen.

Limiting fairuse, educational use, and private use deffinately frustrates this user. A few others reports here have also said that they have to view piracy as a source of competition... something that might help them in the long run. Quit trying to protect... find better ways to SERVE, not restrict the user. They may find that by doing that they have a friendlier crowd.
They can start by cleaning up BluRay and HDDVD on computers (HDCP... DVI... HDMI to name a few)

Sorry but they are wasting their time. The people getting movies off torrents want free not cheap. The vast majority of torrent users don't want to pay. The should concentrate on making it easier to get good quality movies ,easily online for a decent price for mom/pop and forget about torrent users. There is nothing they can do to please them unless it starts with FREE.

Re: An easy, workable, foolproof DRM system is the key
1) No DRM will ever be foolproof.
2) They don't want people to inter-operate. The can sell more stuff that way and control who can view the content.
3) They CANNOT charge the same amount of money as the physical media. The production charge is virtually nothing, and the distribution charge is a fraction.
4) They cannot cripple the quality.
Fix these things, and people will come around. Their control is over. Adopt, or die.

I assume you have taken a survey of the vast majority of torrent users to come to this conclusion?

Re: An easy, workable, foolproof DRM system is the key
Agreed. I will not purchase any digital music until I know I can transfer it to new/different devices. This Crap with I-Tunes, Play4sure and whatnot does not cut it. I don't want trapped into one compaines players and service. The *AAs need to set the standard and make it available to all users. Though I doubt they will make it of good quality and easily transportable to new devices. |

stop producing crappy content that people find to be mind-numbing drivel and you won't get people that will pirate your crappy product only to realize that they feel so much better by not hashing their hard earned money into your pockets for a sub-standard sack of crap called your product. |

agree. what's the point they try to make? is ok to still someone else work because they priced to high...
piracy is a crime. period. and you are as guilty for consuming as you are for distributing it. Want something, pay for it. To expensive, looks for substitutes.... |

If the product is crappy, then why spend the time downloading it? Why watch or listen to it if it sucks? Sorry, but that excuse is as lame as they come.

Re: DOESN'T MATTER.
You fail to realize that people no longer place value in music, movies, etc. . No differently than Web Page construction. There is no value in the creativity of people who generate artwork and the like for websites. It is now a commodity, and people will not pay money for something that holds no value to them. Sorry if you don't like it, but it is what it is. these companies need to adapt to the commoditized services business, and charge accordingly, or fail.
Go look at how much a pre-constructed web page goes for. People USED to make a lot of money doing that. Those days are gone, and that sucks to be them. Move on or die.

Like your opinion is going to influence anyone. HA!! Piracy is an artifact of an unacceptable market. The market needs to be fixed before piracy will be affected. It will not work the other way around. Piracy is only the response to the real problem.
