well shit if they were actually going by US copyright law back 5 years ago this case should have been thrown out then.

but still NO WARE in US copyright law does it say ANYTHING about THEFT. and it NEVER HAS.

but of coarse some dick head wants false unjust justice. that’s the American way.

“cheaply produced garbage” well this is what the industry is putting out now. they don’t even want to pay for talent scouts so make programs like xFactor so they can make more money.

No of course you’re not whining about not making any money. Ever considered you’re broke because you’re actually talentless?

The computer industry has profited from “piracy” for decades- look at the history of the BIOS for example.
Hollywood was born from “piracy” including the music industry, (the latter being a somewhat more convulted history).

Your absurd assertions relate far more to incompetant management or, simply, your not commercial!

I’m an indie artist, and I give my stuff away for free across multiple torrent sites and I still make a living out of it.

Most pirates I know will purchase good content. You must not be making money because you are producing Hollywood-style garbage.

After excessive laughter at reading this post, I feel the urge to tell you why. Where is the evidence, true evidence that DL’ing is killing music? Festivals are sold out, or near as dam it all over Europe every summer, people paying shit loads of money to soak it up, yet here you are making allegations. The here and now is digital and the future is about self management, not control by yesterdays industry. Join the revolution or fade away.

if any pirates make it in the mainstream culture or tech industry they wouldn’t want piracy to continue otherwise they wouldn’t make any money. i’m a musician/producer and i’ve spent thousands producing music but i haven’t made a dime off of my recordings. i’m not here to complain that musicians aren’t making shit, i’m here to say that if people keep excessively pirating music, the industry will continue to plummet into an abyss full of cheaply produced garbage backed by spoiled listeners who feel entitled take art without paying for it.

if you find yourself downloading the discography of an artist, you should at least have the decency to support them by buying merch or admission to their shows. the only pro-piracy musician you’ll ever meet is one who is selling out arenas, and chances are they won’t be part of your fantasy Supreme Court.
