Re: RE:BitTorrent census:about 99% of files copyright infringing said by chronoss2009:and also where your logic totally failed in the way you try and get your argument across. IT IS NOT CRIMINALLY ILLEGAL TO DOWNLOAD it may be copyright infringing ONLY where applicable, AS IN Canada we have a BLANK MEDIA LEVY and while the original guy is part right Copyright infringement is not right. Doesn't matter if it's not criminally illegal. It's not criminally illegal to fuck your best friend's wife. Do you do it anyways? Hey you're not breaking the law so it must be ok. Well at least according to your logic.
when my cost per cdr to download is 2 cents and yours to give to me could be half that the cost to make divided by the total number getting could be VERY VERY low number like 5 -10 cents COST this includes all production costs and cuts out all the man in middle expenses
so why am you/I being asked to pay 20-40$ for a cdr/dvdr? None of that has anything to do with anything. And sorry no CD-R or DVD-R is $20.
oh and right click spell check in firefox works wonders to both these people yes correct spelling makes you right. Another useless "point". why would I use firefox? Memory hog, bloated POS browser.
and I'll add when so many of today's movies suck do you blame someone for a want to try before they say they would buy? That's the risk you take. If you think the movie is going to suck why do you want to see it in the first place?
I did that for diablo2
and i got a bonus on doing that with all the books and a expansion disk..... You could have done that and also paid for the game in the first place. Your logic is "Let me pirate or you won't make money form me". Seriously does your job pay so little you couldn't afford diablo 2. That's say LOTS about you. How about more time getting an education to get a better paying job and less time playing computer games.
and yes there are always gonna be people that want free as in beer and instead fo worrying about them and making it so hard for the people like that guy above , maybe they should have a long time ago jumped into torrenting themselves and instead a donating have you pay a 1-2$ a month and get all you want and use the tracker stats to pay based on that Oh so they give people all they can eat for $1-$2 month and that is more money than getting what they do now? Please refrain from speaking about things you have no clue to which you are talking about. That's the problem with people like you. You still want it free even when you claim you wish to pay for it. $1-$2 a month? Are you fucking serious? How abut $50 amonth all you can eat? would you pay that? No of course not. Until you say yes you can forget your "genius" idea.
2$ times 350 million people HRMMM
technology will always make things cheaper unless it is restricted. SHAME on any freemasons that are part of the mpaa and riaa. YOUR ancient order was about knowledge and freeing it.
Yeah ok half the people world with internet will pay $2 a month. What is that based on? Anyways that's only $8.4 billion a year. Movies studio make more than that on DVD/blu-ray sales. And that's suppose to be for EVERYTHING? Movies, TV, music, games, software?
How about you pay for what you should and if you don't want to pay for it you don't get to have it? Exactly what is wrong with that idea? Most everyone seemed to agree with that idea before the internet.
Is copyright law perfect? No it's not. 95 years is way to long for a copyright to expire. The old 56 year max with 28 year renewal was fine. Should be even less with software.
Are prices too high for what the media companies want? Sure I think so. That's why I speak with my pocketbook by not purchasing them. Not by shoplifting from a store or illegally downloading it. All that does is show them that their product is popular. That hardly gives them an incentive to do anything except try to clamp down on piracy more and give us more stuff like DRM. See if you knew even basic economics you know more demand means higher prices less demand means lower prices. To a media company exec lots of people illegally downloading means lots of demand thus they feel justified in charging higher prices. And if they could just stop you from illegally downloading you'll be perfectly happy to pay those inflated prices. See in thier mind it's not the price that is keeping you from buying it's the torrent sites.
Now to you and me that's not close to being logical, but to them it is and they are the ones that own the media we want. Si if you actually willing ot pay for your content and you want prices to be more reasonable I suggest you and all your friends stop illegally downloading and show LESS demand for their products. Then when they wonder why there isn't any demand they'll figure it out finally and they'll lower the prices.
You've tried it you way and that hasn't gotten results. You want media to keep getting more expensive and bogged down with DRM and other crap keep illegally downloading. When they pass a piracy tax on ISPs and your internet bill is an extra $20 a month you have yourself to blame. |
