Yeah. Deaf. Most likely deaf.

Nice discussion here in the comments. And I see Mr Reasoned Mind still fails to understand the other side. Way to go Mr Musician (23, Capn).

Also, nice comments regarding the free softwares. I downloaded Open Office recently and it works wonders. My Office 2007 license didn’t allow me to validate the copy on my 3rd computer. Now, why should I pay for another license if I’m the only one that ever uses those 3 machines? I wonder…

“It says that they will not tolerate illegal use of their services but when it comes down they don’t do anything about it.”

Illegal use that has been proven true, not simply alleged illegal use. There is a big difference. Everyone should be made to live for one month without due process, where the only proof you need is a pointed finger (some countries are like this by the way, though a bribe is generally required in addition to the allegation). Lets see if you still side with AFACT after that. I say we start by disconnecting Reasoned Mind from the internet. I know for a fact he is a hypocrit who actually uses P2P software.

It’s clear Reasoned Mind failed several important classes in school, not the least of which seems to be the social studies (history for example). He wants us to believe the world is set in stone, forever unchanging. That is wishful thinking, a common fallacy among his type. Pretty unsurprising actually, considering he seems to hold some position within the music industry, an industry that has gotten used to their monopoly and the easy money it affords them. Morality is irrelevant. How either side wishes the world to be is irrelevant. The entertainment industry must find a way to compete or face annihilation. I do agree with one assessment however, regarding utopians. Anyone who thinks that such a world is possible or that their actions are in some way altruistic are deluding themselves, and that goes for everyone on both sides of the issue. Just like countries, you either work together to find common ground on which neither side will ever be 100% happy, or you go to war, in which case nobody wins. I’m willing to pay for my media, are you willing to charge a reasonable price for it and not load it with DRM?

@23 Capn – They couldn’t violate their ToS since it was never proven by court that their customers used their service illegally. Until then, they aren’t obliged to do anything.

So, again, the case makes no sense.

Capn – what is the name of your band – can I grab any of your stuff anywhere?
