Re: When are they going to realize
said by karlmarx  :The FACT is that no matter WHAT you produce, [...] if it's digital, it WILL BE COPIED. The solution is to provide a BETTER PRODUCT at an AFFORDABLE PRICE. Actually, that just isn't true. We can buy music through services like iTunes for a dollar, yet P2Ping and public hosting, such as YouTube, of copyrighted music remains prolific.
What you CAN DO, is provide the CUSTOMER [...] with a product they want, at a price they are willing to pay. It would seem even a dollar is too much when it's easily available elsewhere for free. It's simple math for anyone.
Hey, If I could get a HD version of Battlestar Galactica BEFORE IT AIRED, for $.99 cents an episode, [...] you would get my money. You might. But, if the very same thing was just as easily available for free and with impunity....

I think the internet should always remain open and the burden of protecting copyrighted material should remain with the copyright holder and law enforcement, period. Copyright infringement is a law that has always and will seemingly always be broken. All we can do is keep it in check - like speeding. Most everyone goes a little over the speed limit. But it's few that will do a hundred through town. Law enforcement just needs to catch up and eventually will. |
