You guys make it sound like it’s an us vs. them war. Struggle for power – isn’t it? If we don’t fight back, they will take it all!

Let’s be honest with ourselves. You’re poor, and you’re angry b’cause you can’t afford to buy a movie ticket, or too ugly to leave your house to go to the theater.

This has nothing to do with high movie prices, record profits, the oil companies, bands releasing their CD’s for free. This is all about you being a bitter child, focusing on everything that makes you angry and powerless.

PS. If you like a band, why would you take their music without paying them? Don’t you want to appreciate them and their work? Money is appreciation. When you say “I don’t have any money to give you”, you are saying – I don’t have any appreciation for you. There is no love here for you. So I must take it… It’s the ONLY way I can have it.

Oh no! Disaster! Now it will take 5 hours to download a movie instead of 1 hours or less.

That’ll work.

@92 Jules
“Surely the artists and programmers deserve some money for their efforts?”

Yes they do.

“There are fair revenues to be made if the suits would meet us half way.”

There’s the sticky point. Those artists and programmers who really do deserve to get paid won’t get zip if it went to the suits. They claim to be acting on behalf of the artist yet I’ve not heard of a single case where any of the compensation won either in or out of court has got back to the artist.

THAT’s what I call “stealing”. If there is to be any “meeting half way”, it should be with the artists and not the money grabbing anti-piracy groups.

Do the ISP’s want to lose their customers? I don’t think so.

Me think music don’t need copyright to protect the artist people buy merchs from the artists they like and go to concerts, maybe to protect the artist from plagiarism that would be okay.

Cookie now! please :)

Would you like to work for free?
I download a shit load of films and stuff and would be pefectly willing to pay a reasonable monthly fee to continue doing this. What I resent is paying excessive amounts for media such as £20 for a film you watch once and possibly dont even like! There are fair revenues to be made if the suits would meet us half way.

I live in the UK. I will continue to do what I do, just as much as I have always done it… Slowing me down… That will just annoy me, but no way am I going to be paying for something to an industry that does not deserve the money, or paying for something like Adobe Photoshop, which otherwise I would not be able to have at all… I fail to see how this will make a difference, other than annoying the customers…

The British government is one of the most corrupt in the world. They can’t even be trusted to manage their own expenses without fraud. So is it any wonder they are bought and paid for by the copyright cartels?

To whoever said that tv broadcasters should seed their own torrents with ads and all, it is a good idea, but i think it cannot work because of licensing issues between countries.. A lot of the big networks already offer previous episodes of popular shows in streaming, but those are only available in the country they are from… Same thing for BBC Iplayer only available in the UK and Zattoo offering national channels only…

this isn’t going to work. the riaa/mpaa seriously needs to realize that no matter what methods they try to implement, the internet will always be full of stuff for people to download, no matter where we all live in the world, and there’s NOTHING they can do about it.
