Simple. The greedy for-profit companies want to control the spread of "culture" in modern society completely, without allowing any public dissemmenation of same. They want the eventual outcome to be that it is literally illegal "to share" anything.
If they had their way completely, they could charge you a tax for humming a tune that you heard on the radio, because they held a copyright on the official recording - even though, once you listened to it, you formed an abstract "recording" of what you heard in your head - at least enough to hum it back to yourself. Have you therefore committed copyright infringement, or "piracy" in doing so? Quick, we need to institute "brain licensing" for everyone! Tax every person that has a brain, because the human brain is nothing more than a device designed to facilitate "mental copyright infringement", and clearly the losses that these companies are suffering at the hands of brain-owners need to be compensated for! |

said by Anonymous:said by noogoo:hence, the copyright law. are you for plagiarism and patent infringement too? You can have the original I'll just make myself a copy at my own expense. No harm done, you did not lose anything and in fact you don't have a clue I'm using one of your products. Because I'm not. It's installed on my computer and therefore it's mine. now let's take that to an extreme.
months of work and money goes into creating software or music or a movie, and they don't sell a single copy because they "can have the original" and you"'ll just make a copy at my own expense." $1,000,000 goes into making the software, you only pay for your bandwidth. the company loses $1,000,000.
making a copy at your own expense should mean you actually pay to make the original.
another extreme view:
a software is being sold for $1000. another company makes a similar software and sells for $10. everyone pirates the $1000 software. none of the software selling for $10 gets sold.

lmao. but again who does it benefit the most if everyone has to pay and that person that produced this software was crappy anyway and aren't worth paying. 99 percent of software made today are bloatware, even a kid can do a hell of a better job then this. their taking advantage that most don't know how to program, maybe just lazy maybe both.
everyone pirates? lol. I wish! but p2p users are still minority but slowly growing because they hate paying for something that should not cost much in the first place.
I'm thinking .99 to maybe 4.99 for most softwares, movies, musics, games. That's the only way to defeat sharing, you sir are still clueless and still need to wake up to reality. you're dreaming if you think something that cost next to nothing to produce should cost an arm,and a leg just so individuals will work their ass off to compensate for that.
this capitalism is no different from slavery in feudalism time. we have advanced but no one is really free to choose how much they should be paying and if at all. i know i'm not getting throught to you but who cares? i'm just blabbering onlike youl haha! |

It's name calling, it's racist and it's hate message to people who enjoyed sharing with one another because it's fun, not be forced to buy stuff that are next to worthless.
you can continue ranting on and on but it won't change a damn thing. sharing concept is a freewill, a god given right, you or anyone who is this arrogant can never take it away. |

is it also sharing when unrealeased software and movies are leaked to the public by someone unauthorized?
if you really want to share, why don't you buy the software and then send it to a friend over the internet and delete your copy?
why don't share all our military secrets with the whole world? open source military.
