I am sure this has been covered in other threads. But I will say it anyway... If everyone stopped paying for it then it would not exist. Also, every one you steal (meaning using PTP or other methods to take media/content that is protected) the people who actually pay for it (like me) end up paying for yours too! |

I don't believe that for a second. But just for laughs, let's assume this happened. We all stopped paying and movies/music etc came to a halt. How is this a bad thing? I'm sorry but when idiotic companies are paying some actors $1,000,000 per episode, we've got a serious problem. When a musician makes enough money from 1 album to live 800 lifetimes....we've got a serious problem.
Let them stop making this stuff. It won't be long before the entire process begins again and maybe this time we'll get it right. I've made my point before about how actors/actresses/musicians etc don't need even HALF of what they make to live comfortably. Do you honestly think a Bentley would cost as much as it does if it wasn't for these spoiled brats? This happens because we ALLOW it to happen. Why the hell does Celine Dion need what...$3 million/year to do her show in Vegas? Actually...I think it's much much more than $3 million/year. Either way, it's ridiculous to think that these people (who by the way are a dime a dozen these days as nearly 1 person out of 5 can either sing/act/write) deserve to be paid more than enough to last several generations. Even $1 million a year is more than generous for these people seeing as the average person makes what? $50-$60 thousand/year? What a freakin' joke!

@ntli.net | Sounds like some kind of communist manifesto.
What's next? Anyone who earns more money that you should be prevented from doing so? |

Sounds like someone is oblivious to all the life-threatening diseases that plague humanity. Or all the children that starve. Or all the countries who can't even afford schools for their children. And what are we doing? We're paying people $1,000,000+ per episode for a show that lasts what? 4-8 years? You do the math. The fact that you think it's OK these people make that type of money for something that isn't remotely worth it's weight in gold is disheartening.
Contrary to popular belief, 80% of these "celebrities" shell out donations to charities only because they HAVE to, to avoid getting their asses kicked by taxes. Educate yourself my friend.

Everyone ends up paying for tv shows and radio. They get to pay those people all that money because of advertising, which is then payed for by use. The consumer gets to pay this crap in the end by way of higher costs of products that are advertise on these tv shows and radio stations. Companies don't pay for this advertising, we the consumer do. Its a vicious circle.
