im sorry to say that although cheap cd’s may be the norm elsewhere, here in aust, im not willing to pay $32+ for new releases. 6 or 7 years ago when the govt introduced parallel importing, they promised a drop in prices. it didn’t deliver & as an aside, gutted the local music publishing industry which is now dominated by large, get rich quick producers.

i have legit copies of nearly every piece of music that i’ve dloaded but i like the option of trying b4 i buy. @ current prices, i think i’m entitled to that privelege.

oh, still no word about what happened to seedler, but I know it was alot of work to keep the site running, and updated, so perhaps seed dude just needed a break.

Mininova has a very good selection of torrents, in fact, if it wasn’t for their search not updating and very slow server/s, I would say they were almost as good as seedler.

Seedler is still down ={

Even if it was back im not sure wether id care Ive grown since then and its now 12 inches =)

I would like however to see all the members of seedler in the same place (speaking of which ive seen most but where is mandamus) caus I liked em all =]

They key to most of the money in the entertainment biz is licensing and distribution. If you no longer control distribution, the costs cannot be used as leverage against the rights of the actual creators of said works. In short, record companies and movie houses use the “so-called” costs of duping and distributing as excuse for larger-than-reality cuts of profit incurred from a work. It took them 50+ years to perfect this scheme and they don’t want it to change. But it is and they’re scared. If they decide to change they’ll have to explain to many folks why suddenly it’s cost-effective and why they didn’t adopt a better solution when it was presented to them… and where all the money went before. I’m sure the shareholders would be interested as well.

All this to say, the electronic revolution has just begun… and in the best of ways. Discussion and development. We’re making the tools to prove that distribution on mass-scale is feasible… in spite of naysayers. We’re using it to the full potential that it HAS to have to be viable on mass-scale. iTunes already proves this, although their scheme isn’t the best, but the best we have.

Now all we need is someone to clue into the possibilty of creating an endless network of content that is totally downloadable with a network access fee of, let’s say, 10$ a month. We’re sitting on the new television (or radio for that matter) and we can’t get anyone to admit it. A shame really. Because record and movie companies could cut their costs into a quarter of what it is and still churn out more sales than currently.

Necessary Note:
I buy a lot of music and movies. Into the thousands of dollars per year. Yet I discover most of what I like through p2p. Before napster I may have spent hundreds of dollars on said works in a year. Now it’s a huge part of my lifestyle and a lot of it is due to p2p. The resource, in-and-of-itself, is the best resource anyone has ever had in publicity and cost-effective marketing. The user wins and companies would surely win if they take notice. I don’t use p2p to steal, but to educate myself on what is out their for consumption without anyone telling me what I should like or dislike. It’s entirely democratic and noone has been able to prove otherwise.

anyway in 50 years we are all gona live in a matrix – and not this bloody one from the bloody stupid movie. More like Niven and stuff – will be nice and possibly also thanks to p2p, who knows
I think the inteligent computer (or neuro net) in those later O. S. Card novels (Ender ones) can be said to be a p2p personality as well…
[quote comment="7494"]I don’t know who sebastian is but he needs a major head check, or a change to his posting approach.

a) Other people can have an opinion its not right or wrong, but a different viewpoint.

b) Just because they don’t see things from your perspective doesn’t make them your enemy.

c) If you are trying to make a point and change someones viewpoint it isn’t the best approach to call them retards, motherfuckers … blah blah whatever

Finally if you can’t engage in a rational debate then please go and play on your playstation and leave the adults to talk.[/quote]

finally somebody had the guts to say what’s it all about. It’s no real use trying to make others look like greedy bastards when you (or you) are downloading mostly stolen stuff – don’t tell me that its public property. If the guys want a million bucks for a song its their right to demand it – i’ll maybe steal it if I think its good, won’t buy it for sure. But its their goddamn right to demand it/ or maybe you think the pornstars you download are doing this for the heck of it? think again. Have some respect for the people who were smart enough to for instance establish a printing house or a record company. its their problem if the prices are too high and stealing will surely bring them to lower it. But it will be stealing. I for myself am not going to pay for most of the stuff, so I’m stealing it/
respect for those people who simply lower their prices or give stuff for free with the hope that somebody will pay them voluntarily (like beggar-ware and so on)

Keep the faith peeps.

Come say hello…

I’m sorry for our site being offline. Tus kvcd group has been offline for almost two weeks, not a month.

We are moving our server, and will surely be back.

All our tus movies are posted on Demoniod and Sladinki forums. They often get picked up by mininova and others as well.

Now before any rumors start, Tus is having technical problems with our host, so please don’t think the worst :)

If any of our friends would like to stop by and say hi, both soraiya and I are staff at bitcomet’s forum. “forum.bitcomet.com”

Nem and I are both staff at “dieseldownloads.com”

and my “home” will always be “tus-kvcd-group”, even if its temporarly offline.
