ITS BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKES THESE
I THANK GOD EVERYDAY I LIVE IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
AND ADVISE ANY ONE LIKE STONY TO MOVE THERE.
WITH THE RECENT UPRISINGS WE ARE STRONG IN HEART AND UNITED (kinda). one thing is left, to move true freedom and rights from the virtual world (the internet) to the real world.

criminals the real abusers are here to be seen FBI MPAA RIAA they may live in a ‘protected world’ for now but times change and this will not be excepted for long.

Then you guys will see the true power of open sharing caring world
when your asses are in jail for rapping and dehumanising a generation
all in the name of your failed business model.

history too will speak ill of you
remember this when your grandchildren spit in your face
and are ashamed to share the same genome of you.

freedom liberty will always WIN

the world do-sent owe a exsistance and neither should you abuse you power to your own wims

yeah now you cant really upload anymore, because if you upload lots of torrent, you can easily exceed the 250gb per monthly data usage, and get teh risk of having your internet shutdown… now someone wanting to be like him a top uploader you cant anymore….

@ Amanda: So what your saying is because there’s no demand for Kodak products, they don’t deserve any draconian laws to help keep them in business, while Hollywood does deserve to have those same laws because there is a demand for what they produce? Care to explain how you came to that distinction and why you think it’s correct?

Beethoven routinely sold copyright of his works to multiple publishers, which was pretty easy when communications between companies wasn’t so streamlined.

Most of these guys also gave lessons, both to their wealthy patrons and others.

I’m asking why people pirate in the first place. Not all content is delayed in release or is restricted, so that can’t be the only reason.

I’ve known people who spent $2500 purchasing an Adobe Master Suite, who then resorted to using a downloaded crack because the Suite gave them a ton of trouble when they tried to re-install it after removing a virus.

You can spend thousands of dollars on a piece of software and only be able to install it say, three times or so. What happens when people want to upgrade their operating system or has some kind of computer issue requiring a repair installation? When you get the cracked software (for free) – you don’t have to deal with the limited number of installations.

Another program had a habit of connecting to a server over the internet once every two weeks to do a serial number check. If the program was unable to contact the server (internet was down), the program would lock up. The pirated version of the program had this feature taken out of it.

Why spend money on an item when that DRM-ed item is going to use up all of your resources and give you a massive headache?

Why pay $30 for a DRM-ed Kindle book that you can only read on 6 devices? (With iPhones, eReaders, work computers, home computers, you can easily have more than six devices per person). The non-DRM copy of a Kindle book can be read in HUNDREDS of devices.

Why pay $300 for an operating system that you can only install once, maybe twice… when the pirated version allows you to install it on HUNDREDS of computers?
