coz i know for sure that if it
- could be digitally-copied
- needed by people
- published today
- and there’s thing called “internet”

then creating my stuff would have been only 10% and so-easy-part, the rest 90% is others and definitely-not-under-my-control.

got it?

The people who steal the music do so and try to justify it by saying it is their right. In reality these people are greedy and don’t want to pay for it if they can get it free. They want more material. This is no worse then the company owners who try to justify their greed by the so called “losses” from piracy.

On the other side of the fence are the rich stock holders and CEO’s and whoever else, who have tons of money, and the more they get the more they want. They therefore try to gain even more money by saying they would have made so-and-so amount if it weren’t due to the “losses,” and in turn spend their life trying to gain every dime they can even if they already have millions.

In the end both sides are greedy bastards who will lie, cheat, and steal to get their way, with each trying to justify it. And if the positions were switched, everything would be the same. The ones who were claiming it is their “right” to have the music will then turn and call it “piracy that must be stopped” in order to fill their pockets. And the ones who would have owned parts of these companies would then be the ones claiming it’s their “right” to jack someone else’s music. It’s pathetic to watch the crooks on both sides argue.

However, as I, nor any of my direct compatriots profit from the endevor, I really can’t be bothered to care.

Exactly. I only get $20 allowance a week (and I have to admit, I’m all the fail at saving money). That’s why I’ve downloading all 5 seasons of Angel instead of paying the $100 some odd for them.

I’m currently looking for a job. Once I get that job (and have my money taken away by the gas company, car insurance company and medical insurance company), if I have enough money left, I’m totally planning on buying the DVDs.

Now, as far as music, I have a *huge* issue with paying for it (that’s no longer an issue, thanks to iTunes :D). I feel that if I am to pay for a music file, any music file, I should be able to rip or burn it as many times as I want, as often as I want and *anywhere* I want. Until iTunes came out with the DRM free MP3s, I saw no reason to waste money on them.

Also: Artists won’t get money for me for their concerts. I find concerts rather boring, and hate the live performances just as much. The screaming fangirls ruin the whole thing for me. That, and how goddamn loud it is, combined with the screaming fangirls. Yes, I know you love The Wonders. Now sit down and STFU, because I WANT TO LISTEN TO THEIR GODDAMN SONG!! I don’t want to hear you screaming “OH!! I LOVE YOU!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

If I were to pay for a concert, I’d prefer *not* to hear people screaming, kthanx. If I want to hear people screaming, I can go to WalMart. If I go to a concert, I go to hear *the band* or *the artist* perform. Not their screaming fangirls.

Also: I download files, but I try not to upload them when I can (yes, I’m the dreaded leecher). I assure you, if I did not live in the US (MPAA/RIAA capital of the universe), I’d seed every time I turned on my external drive. But because I live in the US, I have to be more wary of some pompous company suing me because I allowed someone from Russia to download a whole season of their show, that the person in Russia can’t pay for because the paying sites are only for Americans. End run-on sentence.

No, no one looses money. It’s just that they don’t gain what they potentially might have gained.

If they were going to gain any money from me, wouldn’t I just pay for it in the *first* place, instead of downloading it for free?

Also: I’m willing to pay $25 for a CD, when the record companies stop wasting space with the ‘default’ format and switch to MP3 and fill up all 703MB of the space. I see no point in paying $25 for 10 songs when that *exact* same CD can hold up to 150, 200 maybe 350 at most. (I think it’s 200, right?)

As a ‘young adult’ in America, I understand copyright laws-perhaps better than some adults, due to my being on public forums for art sharing, and I understand the variation between ‘copyright’, and the ‘creative commons’ copyright, et cetera.

However, music? Bite me. While it is ‘wrong’, I don’t particularly care. If people my age were downloading music with the intent to re-sell, or redistribute for a profit, then there would be a problem. However, as I, nor any of my direct compatriots profit from the endevor, I really can’t be bothered to care.

There you have it.

Which is that copying isn’t stealing and that if you weren’t going to buy it in the first place you are not doing any wrong, also if it is distributed in a poor fashion (as music and TV are especially) or unreasonably then they only have themselves to blame.

I think most people feel a slight twinge of guilt if they DL something they know they would and could have paid for (which was distributed in a good timely quality fair way) but instead chose to DL and keep their money. (though in most cases the astonishing soulless greed demonstrated by the wealthy corporations and wealth of many artists manages to significantly lessen such twinges)

The idea that because you exist you must purchase our product and not doing so is stealing is rather abhorrent.

Also you can legally copy patents or designs for your own use and if I could materialize stuff at will I would have no issues with making Buggati Veyrons and Rolex’s materialize for my own use.
I wouldn’t shed a tear for De Beers as I make diamonds appear.

It’s generally felt that downloading is not an offense in Europe, where uploading probably is.”

Actually that’s how the law used to be, until January 1 2006 when Lex Karpela came into effect and made downloading illegal too. Perhaps the kids haven’t been following it. But not that anyone follows that law here -.-
