Re: Hmmmdont know but all it prevents is new offical versions, im pretty sure existing versions are still under GPL(if that is what it was released under) which means previous versions must still be open game. | |

Without sites like TPB and overall Internet piracy the cable industries business model would continue to zap us in the butt!
Due to TPB and piracy the content industry is forced to change and offer things like Hulu and or Joost, which are just the beginning of such offerings. As time goes on there will be more of these sites and less of a need/demand for the cable TV business model.
Hooray for TPB and piracy they both prompt cool innovation and a much needed disruptive, positive change in the market for consumers! | |

Couldn't have said it better myself. Piracy might one day lead to something useful and something people will pay for to get the media they desire. | |

Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption RightYea.. you are right. Piracy, a crime, may certainly lead to something better.. I guess the ends justify the means... Great argument.
Now.. may I?
How do you feel about the warrant-less wire taps? I personally don't like them and think they are a violation of the law. They are claimed to be illegal... Bush is breaking the law - a VERY VERY popular belief here. He's got the communications companies in with him too. Bush says that by doing what he does, our country is much safer today!
So, doesn't that make warrant-less wiretaps a good thing? I mean.. based on your views.. I'd have no choice but to agree.
/sacrasm
No.. violating the law in hopes of something better in the end is not a good idea. It's called anarchy. Is that what you want?
Seriously, I can't believe you guys even stand for that.. either that, or people who follow your views love double standards. | |

Remember people, there are places in the world where is legal to download music.
In Canada it is totally legal to download mp3s. That's why I can't understand why any Canadian would buy a mp3 from an on-line store.
So, PB, go ahead and finish up the new protocol. | |

Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption RightYes. They defend freedom. I'm getting damn tired of the "Give us your money and fsck off" corporate mindset. People saying what I can do, when I can do it, how I can use it, and wanting me to pay over and over for the same crap.
Places like Pirate's Bay give the big "Eff you and your Corporate Douchebaggery" and return some measure sanity back into the market.
Do I run around pirating everything in sight? No... but it's kinda nice to know that hacks/cracks/copies/rips exist, and are available to counter-balance anti-consumer trend. | |

Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption RightSo... should it be ok to get copies of XP from pirate bay as well?
I think you'd say no, but hard to judge. After all, you just got done telling us that 1) you don't care about the rule of law 2) don't care about someone else's intellectual property and 3) don't get that they offer something, including terms, and you buy it knowing those terms - yet you want to break it.
Other than that.. "give us your money and fuck off" is the way it works.. you gave them money, they gave you what you paid for.. nothing else. In the case of intellectual property, you don't own it.. you have a license to use it. You're not buying the song, you buy the right to use it according to their terms.. it's called licensing. | |

In your XP example, I can tell you how it worked for me.
I copied Windows XP Pro. Yes, a pirated copy. Once I had it running and everything smoothed out and knew I wasn't going to need to go back to Win98SE, then it was time to buy XP.
Personally, I'm very glad there are places like TPB around. I believe they create a better marketplace for all of us. | |

Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption RightSeems the only people I have low or no respect are those people, on your side of the isle, that think its ok to take from other people and violate the law.
Again, more spin from you. It's not "theft".. its "copyright infringement" ... either way, the OWNER of the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY still requires people to pay a license fee to use it to which you didn't but enjoy the benefits of having the software. THAT is THEFT. But, I do love how people seem to think they are "just sampling it and deciding they like it"... ever heard of trial ware? Don't offer it for the product you want? .. then that should tell you it's "not ok"...
With all the spinning going on here, I'm surprised you haven't crashed through your coffee table yet from being so dizzy. | |

Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption RightUm.. ever heard of English 4th grade?
The copies of Windows and Mac OS that is being talked about here are full copies of the software... NOT beta, and NOT trial-ware.
It was stated that a copy of Windows was downloaded which lead the path of purchasing a legal copy. A VERY piss poor argument for why PIRATE Bay is "ok"... and only endorsed by thieves.
I could care less about any further conversation on this. There is nothing NOTHING legal about people making copies of software and music available where there is a CLEAR law that prohibits it.
Those who believe this have to live with themselves - and be judged by others. I just happen to judge in this case.. I don't steal.. don't condone it.. and would spit on those that do. Stealing and breaking laws is wrong and leads to no where. Don't like the laws? Change them.. but to break them makes on a criminal. | |

Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption Rightooooh wow! Big man you are... my keyboard messed up and didn't put the "e" on "one" and you catch it? or maybe I was being obvious with the typo.. either way.. big man you are.
Doesn't matter either way.. the point is simple. I'd think that the FBI warnings are a pretty good indication that you don't do it. And YES, it IS theft.. its stealing.. and yes, it's against the law. Prosecuted? "AS HE MENTIONED"... great niche spin there. Have they? No.. why? It is just one and it's not worth it. HOWEVER, YES, people have been prosecuted for stealing intellectual property. People that have pressed several copies or made available the software to people have in fact been prosecuted. As for the large group of single people that do it? That's why they keep inventing things like WGA and why Comcast introduced Sandvine on to their network.
Go back to the drawing board to find another way to make the act smell like roses please. You can't justify breaking the law. | |

I mean, it's getting the job done. Plus, being open source, couldn't someone just rework/improve the protocol and release that? ...and I really don't understand how software can go from open to closed source. Isn't part of OSS agreements is that any further development of the software has to be OSS as well? | |

InnovationA lot of the file transfer systems started out as ways to pirate data. In fact it's a driving force of selling broadband Internet. I don't see why this always comes down to right and wrong, I like to think of it as progress, it will eventually trickle down to companies when they see how many people are using it.
I'm just anti-DRM, and want fair use... Why should it be so fricking hard to get a downloaded song or movie from a PC to a portable device?
A lot of downloaders could buy downloaded films and songs, and have compatibility issues with the DRM, why spend money on something that is much harder to deal with, it's easier to use an unproteced file anyday.
To sum it up, if they sell us what we want we'll buy it.
But there are some that don't think that way, the media companies are not going to get money from them no matter what they do. These are the people that download music for free so they can listen to it, if it isn't free they just won't have it. | |
