Re: I just don't get it
said by FAQFixer  : said by BosstonesOwn :Or maybe it is because they are flat broke and paying $20 for a cd or dvd is not exactly within their grasps. I don't understand this new mentality. When I was young if I didn't have the money to buy something...I didn't get it! Simply because young people do not have the money to buy a CD does not justify theft of the same. I don't have the money to buy a Lexus LS430....... I never said it was right , but when I go to colleges to do contract work on thier routers and thier cores , this is the typical answer given.
The funny part is the wear $100 jeans and $90 shirts but won't pop $20 for a dvd or go without it. Instead they download it. I guess it is just one of those things those of us who are older just won't understand.

actually if you read the recent article on internet pirating »www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.0···ite.html (www.wired.com) you'd realize there isn't someone buying it. I know I wouldn't go buy a cd just to rip and put on the internet to share with a million people. |

know what's funny, someone has to have bought the cd or dvd to get the copy out, and i know i let people borrow or make them copies of cd's and stuff that i have so they can enjoy it, so in the end their going to get it for free anyway. |

Yup but I still don't get it... 
I'm not very old, just 31, and I was a headbanging heavy metal kid in late 80s and early 90s. So I was rebellious myself a bit but... oh well...

I think it has more to do with rebellion in youth. They think it's a small thing to rebel with so they do it. Or maybe it is because they are flat broke and paying $20 for a cd or dvd is not exactly within their grasps.
I know plenty of students who work 40 hour weeks and school who really can barely afford to eat , calling home to their family every other week for $100. They get the nice free internet from school so they use it.
As far as sharing. I love to share to my knowledge of computers and software writing for no charge. I actually enjoy seeing some one say that they understand something after I explain it.
Maybe they get the same feeling but from sharing movies or music ? There is however a lot of things I just don't get that i could turn into a comedy special.
