I think that "PIRATE Bay" being the biggest torrent tracker says a lot about the bogus claims that bittorrent use isn't primarily used for pirating(coyright infringement) music and videos.

Maybe if they offered content at the price of 10 cents a song or movies at like $2 - $3 dollars people would pirate less. If they can move more quantity and charge less instead of charging more and selling less they would still make a lot.

Anyways, guaranteed half they stuff downloaded is deleted right away after they realize the content is complete garbage.

Yeah, and maybe if the government gave more handouts then criminals wouldn't rob liquor stores. Must be the government's fault.

Qtrax, which makes its debut Sunday, is the latest online music venture counting on the lure of free music to draw in music fans and on advertising to pay the bills, namely record company licensing fees.

Qtrax downloads can be stored indefinitely on PCs and transferred onto portable music players, however.

The service, which boasts a selection of up to 30 million tracks, also promises that its music downloads will be playable on Apple Inc.'s iPods and Macintosh computers as early as March.
Copy to music players OK, but can't copy to CDs.

No, we're all being forced to borrow $600 from the Feds that the top 25% of wage earners have to pay back, with interest, the following year.

What pisses me off is the $2-3 movies downloaded legally are usually complete crap. I can get the same thing at Hollywood Video or Blockbuster for around the same price. Especially with the coupons they send every month or so.

They claim back up in 24 hours.
Please check back in 24 hours to download the first, free, and legal P2P music application.
I guess when it hit the newswires their servers offering up the new software downloads got buried.

And if car companies charges $10.00 for cars, people probably wouldn't steal them!

I think you're on to something here!

Gotta love how people justify stealing.

Yep, but that's because we're overtaxed. They are giving us back some of OUR money that they stole from us. Without interest, I might add. All tax cuts and refunds are an ackowledgement that the gubmint has taken too much of what WE earned.

actually i have downloaded a lot of free music and software off of that site. Now when you first hear that the slant you will put on is it is copyright infringement but they do have a lot of music on there that is free and open to the public without copyright infringing content. Just because its free and on pirate bay doe snot mean it is stolen.

I fail to see how that says anything at all about the level of infringing content.

Exxon made another huge quarterly profit - that must mean they cheat their customers and steal from their suppliers.

without looking at what is seeded and determining what is OK and what is infringing, nobody knows what level of infringing content is being moved around.

unless you can site a reputable source (MPAA and RIAA are not reputable sources) that has done this, you're just blowing smoke.

But having 1 million copy protected songs and 100,000 non-copyright protected ones doesn't make them legit.

They say right on the site they they don't take responsibility for what is tracked there. Anyway, exactly none of said content ever passes through their servers, so unless you can prove a copyright on .torrent files (which, knowing the current world, someone will eventually try), they're doing nothing illegal.
