hahah good shit man.... People should not get away with blatent theft, its not better than shoplifting from HMV
Is that to do with this new Trusted Computing initiative? Load of balls I say, theyll never stop open source!
just google "filename" filetype:torrent Much easier and you dont have to search the sites. They arent going to shut down google are they?
Not quite the point - I try before I buy, I also download back-ups of stuff I already own, I also download freeware etc off p2p. The copyright laws are seriously flawed, they are now being designed in favour of the Merc-driving coke-snorting house-in-Barbados rich-fucker executives rather than the consumers and creators. I'm not gonna pay £20 for a dvd only to find that it's absolute shit - will the billion pound/dollar annual profit company give me my money back? Will they shite, it's another gold-plated tap on their jacuzzi. I would like to find out what something's like before I buy it, I would also like to be able to back it up. Furry muff - that's breaking the law, but before anyone criticises - just try and admit that you haven't taped anything off the telly and then watched it twice, or you haven't copied a cd to tape, or you haven't used a copyrighted picture as your avatar, etc etc. Free trade!
I have mates who are trance and house producers and they MAKE nothing from making music!!! I Dont download music at all, in my eyes it is EXACTLY the smae as stealing a Cd as your not paying for the plastic your paying for the music on the CD... Thats just my stance, i dont care if you lot download i just dont like to steal
so u dont download ANYTHING thats copyrighted? You have NO pirate software or games? You've never recorded a set off the radio? You have never recorded off the TV? Very much doubt it! Fair enough - It can screw the small producers if people download their music for free. But it is often purposefully made to be free!
I see. So..how come you have to pay approximately 3 times for for a CD than you do for a legal download?? Hmm.....they are ripping people off, plain and simple.
as it cost more to disribute it that way, i for legal downloads tho, very good idea as you pay for the music and get the music and dont have to pay for the overheads involved
