So, in it’s infinite power and glory, seeing a disparate situation which needed a resolution suited to the common man rather than harboring sympathy for such a fraudulent business model, the internet and indeed technology itself joins forces with the population of the world to bypass the need to pay inflated and downright extortionate prices for pennies worth of paper and plastic.

Now, we stand in the midst of revolution. A revolution that may very well put an end to this tyranny. Is it any huge surprise that the tyrants are valiantly defending themselves and their very right to exist, now that the people have risen up and are storming the castle armed with broadband connections and filesharing clients? Starve ‘em out. Burn ‘em out. Ready the stocks and oil the swords. The confrontation which will end their reign is drawing nigh. Which side of the walls will YOU be on when the tide of war comes to deliver it’s sweet justice?

LoL

so in any event.. this is great news..

May be they spent too much money in corrupting the US, the UK, the French and Swedish governments?

Usually when your boss from the parasites headquarters get fired you lose your job too.

By the way do you know how the drug that get ride of tapeworm work?

Are they going to stop calling their customers pirates or are they going to die? The boycott is in progress, you know.

No Justice no peace.

Okay, they lost their jobs, now put those enemies of a free society in jail and I’m pleased!

HAIL HIT.. I mean, HAIL MAFIAA and the IV REICH!

that’s the least you guys can do right?”

oops, sorry about above post then…

You are aware that you are also rationalizing. You are rationalizing that the entire copyright system is perfect the way it is. You are rationalizing that it is right for progress to be stifled by these large corporations.

You have been told time and time again the way we feel is right. Yet you still feel the laws are right, that we should do nothing, and resistance is futile. I hope at least that you realize that we will not stop, technology will not stop, and eventually we will win as the more heavy-handed the industry gets, the more people they cause to rally against them.

Fvck the MAFIAA

that’s the least you guys can do right?

PR disaster incoming in 3…2…1… – Truly, don’t they ever learn?

I thought that the PR Nightmare caused by going after individual users would have been a bad enough dent to their corporate image to make them understand that hardliner tactics will only backfire.

Now if I download something and actually like it, I’ll happily buy it used. If I fail to find a used copy in good condition, I’ll purchase it when it’s found it’s way to the bargain bin. Everything eventually finds it’s way there and it’s like paying used prices for something that has never been opened. I like having access to the extras, especially when it involves CG (of which I am both fan and artist). You don’t get those with a download.

Whine all you want. Pass all the draconian laws you want. Proclaim my immorality all you want. Call it stealing all you want. It is never going to change the fact that you are wrong and that the industry is somehow losing something. You can’t lose something I never would have given you under any circumstances and that is never EVER going to change. Don’t like it? Too effing bad.

[point]HAR HAR![/point]

It is not about piracy, it is about control of the internet and your leisure time.

C’mon guys ya gotta admit, if Reasoned mind does anything at all,its making our arguments and convictions well known…

perhaps its an attempt to develop courtroom strategies against each and every argument we have? ya gotta wonder…

I just find it interesting that someone would come onto a “pro” pirate board and begin “preaching” the MPAA word as if it was handed down by God…

At anyrate, I personally am glad Reasoned is here, at least we have someone we all can speak our mind at,someone that holds a very opposite opinion (even though it’s waaay off base!)….

Come out and play reasoned mind, we’re waiting!

no one fucking needs them. Especially the record companies. Nowadays a five-year-old kid suffering from autism can produce and distribute music without any problem if he knows how to turn his pc/laptop on. For the movie companies, they’re little better; they make craptastic movies, and brainless consumers brainlessly buy it. As stupidity is a disease that humanity have fought against for centuries and hasn’t cured yet, more brainless consumers are in the line to buy more shit brainlessly.

and as you have noticed, the five-year-old kid mentioned above can reason this; mysteriously other consultant who have more education and experience than me can’t. this is why Goeckner and co. is dying..

The copy my friend made and gave to me was never intended for sale. Therefore, I have stolen nothing.

But, it’s alright. Bring it on, for we have guns too. And we won’t hesitate a moment to use them.

We will rather die than surrender our freedom. Remember it!

The sole purpose of all these MAFIAA organizations together in the whole world is just to keep justifying why they are needed. That way they can keep a system intact, that costs billions of dollars/euros, employing people who cannot make a living in a real job. If the same amount of effort and money were to be put into the space program there would be a city on the moon and an permanent outpost on Mars by now.

Lets also try to follow some neo-reasoning…
Neo-reason once said that the industry provides jobs because of these organizations, DRM creation and so on (if one calls fighting other people over control can be considered a job). Actually in the chain of events this means that filesharers actually cause them to have jobs in the first place and forces the industry to share money with more (evil) people. So they should actually be gratefull to filesharers otherwise the money would end up just sitting in a bankaccount of a few (poor?) artists. In the end then filesharing is good for the economy as it provides jobs and keeps money going around.

don’t make me laugh . i guess the boss realized someone taking they share under they nose.

You managed to out-stupid yourself. Congratulations.

Being that you are retarded, let me try to explain something to you. I know it’s beyond your scope of understanding, but it’s worth sharing this with everyone else.

1) This is in fact a binary of all copyrighted data containing: 00010001 and 10001000

I decide to compress them instead to: 3131 and 1313

I replaced the 3 zeros with a three instead. This is called compression.

I’ve effectively changed the patterns of 0′s and 1′s in to a more efficient equation or form.

Technically, turning 00010001 and 10001000 in to 3131 and 1313 is NO LONGER an exact copy. The patterns are completely different and are no longer the same.

I give those 1313 and 3131 to a friend, and I make no profit from it. I am not doing anything illegal, but I am sharing a completely different pattern of the authors copyrighted data. This data under a microscope does not resemble the original copyrighted file any longer in any way, shape or form.

When you rip a DVD/Blu-ray/CD and compress it to mp3, mpeg-4, xvid or divx, you are reordering and scrambling the original digital data in to something else completely new and original.

2) I go to a supermarket and I see a sandwich for sale. It’s made of rye bread, turkey, mayo, mustard, lettuce and tomato.

I buy those ingredients myself and decide to make lots of sandwiches and serve them up to friends at my house; no charge. I never stole that original sandwich from the store. I got the idea and I decided to make it myself. I tell my friends how to make the sandwiches themselves, and they tell their friends, etc. It might resemble the sandwich in the supermarket, but it is not the same sandwich, so therefore I did not steal it.

In conclusion, the original authors copyrighted patterns of binary 0′s and 1′s are completely altered and scrambled when compressed. It does not resemble anything at all like the original file that it was copied from when examined under a microscope. Just the same, the sandwich in the store and I decided to buy the ingredients myself. It may look like the same sandwich in the store, but under a microscope the two sandwiches are nothing alike.

It would be preposterous for the supermarket to decided to sue me for theft. According to your “reasoning” I stole the original sandwich from the store and I should go to jail for it.

If I walked out of the store with that sandwich without paying for it, yes that is theft and it is illegal. Making those same sandwiches myself is not illegal.

That my dear Reasoned Tard is why you are a complete idiot. If my explanation is ever used in court, the RIAA/MPAA would never win another case again.

As long as you’re having a good time playing with yourseelf, who cares, right?.. LoL

#40 make excellent points imo, if you werent so thick headed perhaps you would see them too..

Ah well…

This is why their businesses are doing better than the Music Industry. That, and the fact that that they have a more viable alternative… “Renting” movies has been around for years & still is decent alternative to piracy… Redbox was a nice innovation, but a little piracy must still be expected, because PEOPLE LIKE WATCHING THE NEW MOVIES AT HOME. WE DO NOT WANT TO WAIT 2 MONTHS FOR A DVD.

hook, line and sinker!

LoL

It’s not stealing as us downloading a movie doesn’t deprive somebody else of that movie. Especially in the instances where if we weren’t able to download we wouldn’t rent or buy it and this would therefore not count as a lost sale.

So you’re back where you started.
