Re: My acquaintance in Poland always downloads pirate movies said by jester121:Look, not to be rude, but this is, in a nutshell, the entire debate! It isn't yours, so you don't get to decide what the content owners should charge. All you get to do is evaluate the offerings in the marketplace and decide whether you want to pay what they're asking, or do without. OR If they *CAN* get it some other way, they do so, despite how the "owners" say it's "wrong". Seriously, they need to stop trying to force people to buy what they want them to buy and dictate to them the terms and start providing options that people can accept. Piracy will never go away entirely because some people just don't (or won't) have the money to buy "entertainment" when there's other pressing needs.

Lake Zurich, IL | Right. Like I said in the other post, heaven forbid anyone have to go without all the free movies and music they want.  |

1 edit | My point really is focusing on the Piracy side and the stick is missing out on a market.
There's the carrot-and-stick approach. These days it's mostly all stick.
They'd be better off trying to win new revenue then spending money trying to stop something they can't.
You could spend millions trying to stop piracy to get it down to some magic number, but in reality all you're doing is pissing off the customers you already have and wasting loads of money.

Yeah, your posting history really points to a deep concern for the well-being of media companies and their opportunities for profit.  |

Not to mention a tendency to make some "friendly" little snide comments and insulting remarks, eh?
But a smiley makes it all good.
