Led Zeppelin?

I wasn't aware that people had good taste anymore.

I thought most ISPs protect people from Transformers 2 and crappy Metal bands.

So what you're REALLY saying is.. "If you don't like us stealing your stuff, then screw you!!" and then the follow up attitude of ".. I'd never buy your crap anyway!"

Hrmmm.... GREAT attitude!

The problem is, that you, like the large user base here, are in the very small minority these days. MOST people realize right from wrong and sharing and stealing the content is, well, wrong.

I have a very good way to back my theory up with one question to you...

.. "why should anyone boycott, based on the context of this article/posting here, and get angry at the companies for trying to protect their content?"

The people forced the hand of the industry, which would have happened anyway sooner or later, with Napster.. it was Napster that got us into the single song download era. Then, people took that music and shared it for the world to have - very nice of those people... so that brought us in DRM. Eventually, they backed down and we're seeing more DRM-less content available out there.

So, I see the NEXT step is, what I'm guessing your theory is, the next step is to simply tell Hollywood to spend the millions and billions on this stuff and just give it away.. after all, they are a charity and there is no money to be made.

Really.. tell us all what you REALLY think is "fair"... everyone here bitches about not being able to steal music and videos for free, and there are a few valid complaints to which I agree about how MUCH they try to lock things down, but we're talking about the RIGHTS to use something and the WAY it's purchased... so with that in mind..

... describe fair!

(I know that's a subject very few people like to bring up, becuase it completely exposes their agenda.) There are two sides to everything.. give and take.. and in this case, you have to be on BOTH sides.
