Re: Supply and Demand said by BF69:said by n2jtx:I hate to be a party pooper but I have a hard time figuring out why the entertainment industry has to change anything. Because times change, technology changes. Blacksmiths had the same attitude 100 years ago. The smart ones started selling tires. The "why should I change" ones went out of business. Adapt or die. This is not a valid comparison to piracy. The people selling tires weren't stealing. |

Yes illegally downloading is wrong. HOWEVER unless you can put a sigificant number of people in jail or sue the hell out out of a significant number of people as to scare people away form piracy then running around screaming "Piracy is wrong" doesn't matter. People are doing it and if they want people to stop and start making some money off them they need to embrace they new technology. Even if it means making less money, because last time checked SOME > NONE. |
