Re: And people keep claiming bittorrent isn't primarily pirating
said by GOLFnSUN  :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. |

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.

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. |

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.

I think you're on to something here! 
Gotta love how people justify stealing.

lol, aren't people getting $600 each from your Fed gov? 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.

Never said the system is perfect. Problem there is liberals like Nancy Plasticosi pandering for votes from the illegal aliens. |

Re: And people keep claiming bittorrent isn't primarily pirating
i like the idea of making music and movies more reasonably priced, but how are the singers and actors (or should i say brats high on themselves) going to feel when they realize they can't afford a third ferrari, third multi-million dollar house, or that their acting/singing is crap and isn't worth ~$20/cd or +$8/movie_ticket? you know they have feelings too. 
such life and there is not much you can you about it for the most part. with the riaa/mpaa/actors/singers holding pretty much all the money and power, they can buy off government with ease and higher a fleer of lobbyists if they so choose. |
