find it online and download it so you don't get lectured on what is right and wrong. you download anything you want and you can do anything you want to with it.

Music artists could try their hardest not to produce absolute shit. RIAA could probably try to adapt to digital instead of outright attacking.
No artist goes bankrupt cause of stolen cd's. Nothing will. For every person who copies, there are sold out shelves of the same material. Pirating is a bullshit, crybaby excuse for industries producing shit and not adapting.

I agree with this 100%

I actually buy more cd's because of piracy. I prefer the quality of an original cd to a burned one, so illegally downloading new music exposes me to new artists I otherwise would have never heard. If I like it, I buy the cd, if I don't, then it get's deleted.

Besides, bands don't make there millions off cd sales, it comes from merch and touring.

If they wouldnt charge $10+ for a CD that costs .75 to make then nobody would steal shit. Same thing goes for pirated software. CAD software for example can go for $2-$3Gs for the suite for a single license. Nobody is going to pay that except a corporation that strictly does that or a school that teaches that.
People steal CDs because they arent going to pay $10+ for a CD that has 1 good song. There arent very many CDs that are good from the front to back.

To add to your little quote:

http://paidcontent.co.uk/article/419-research-p2p-filesharing-no-barrier-to-music-sales/

93% of fileshares buy and of those 93%, 47% of people buy the same amount of music as they used to, and 19% still buy but not as much. You cant use pirating as an excuse. Like BDS says its a bullshit cry baby excuse. Produce better shit and people will pay simple as that.

HAHA the most common comment among people interviewed for pirating Media is "why pay for something you can get free?"

We have reached a new level of depravity when you blame the person who you are stealing from for your theft.

Companies like I-Tunes, and the production of singles have you there my friend.

Those $3000 CAD programs and the like have gone through hundreds of thousands of dollars of R&D so that you can have a reliable program.

Alas a simple concept in free-market economics: Demand goes down for a product, and the price has to be raised to compensate for losses.

Just because YOU the CONSUMER thinks you shouldn't have to pay more than a dollar for a CD doesn't mean that the producer should have to cater to your demands. The market isn't set by you.

You can pay $30+ for a meal for 2 people, yet you think 10$ for a CD is too much?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

It cost me 45$ to fill my gas tank once, And a CD will last me a whole lot longer than less than a quarter tank of gas.

Let me ask you this... Can you produce a hit record? If you had an ability that no one else had, and could do something for people no one else can, wouldn't you want to be paid for it?

right

people think that a $15 cd is to much

you have to pay everyone that had a part in making the CD

But I agree with the OP, if you bought a PPV, you should be able to keep it

Same with a movie or anything else

Back in the day, without DVR, a pay-per view only let you watch the movie 1 day, Now it's as long as you wanna keep it on your DVR and people complain MORE?!?!

A DVR isn't meant to be a permanent means of video storage, it's meant to be a convenience tool so that you don't have to watch something at any specific time. like cable on demand.

 

[cotjones 10+ year member]

I'm so sick of this countries pis-poor attitude and apathy.

HERE IS HOW SHIT WORKS:

YOU GET A JOB.

YOU WORK HARD.

YOU GET MONEY.

YOU BUY THINGS YOU WANT.

IF YOU WANT A PRODUCT FREE, MAKE IT YOUR DAMM SELF.

OTHERWISE STFU AND QUIT BICHIN. (PRICE POINTS SET THEMSELVES IN A FREE-MARKET ECONOMY.)

It is a convenience yes, But i pay a premium for that convenience, I pay $40 MORE for a PPV than what the blu ray of it is gonna cost in 6 months when its released and they still think im stealing?? lol no, there is something messed up there.. They might as well quit the whole DVR thing then, because ive heard tons of complaints on it even as to when ppl own DVR they dont watch commercials, and just skip over them all, Which sucks if your dropping thousands and thousands of $$ for your ad to be skipped over, But thats what happens when the technology demand goes up.. They want ppl to record TV, then they ***** when they dont get ratings ( because its being recorded , and your watching a different channel ) they ***** when They DVR shows, then skip over their expensive commercials.. blaa just cant win

Bottom line, I just wanted to show a buddy a UFC ppv, one that i paid near $60 for, but I guess that was to much to ask

Yes, TIVO is an after-market product not regulated by the cable/satellite company.

But you piraters are in trouble when IPTV gets here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

You are lining the pockets of the cable company, not the movie producers.

When you pirate the movie, you are punishing the Producers for the cable companies greed, and thats how the cable company gets away with it.

You may have recently unknowingly witnessed examples of the producers fighting this extorsion.

Fox recently demanded that the cable companies pay more to broadcast their channels because the cable companies are under-cutting their profits by over-charging for services. But since cable is the ultimate means by which the programming reaches the public, they control the marketing of the services and make the producers look like the expensive ones.

Anyone who ever got a "introductory price" extended for cable service knows that the cable companies are the extortionists, hate it? well piracy isn't the answer, complaining and accountability are.

You are punishing the source for the middle-man's travesty. What does that do? Nothing.

It makes the problem worse because no one is fighting the middle man while the source is forced to drop product quality to shit not only by you, but now additionally by the middle-man.

I can see it from both sides. On the one side, you see it as your paying for the show, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. But on the other side, your only paying to view it that once (or that day or w/e). You pay extra because you get to see it sooner. Yeah it costs a lot more than the blu ray, but you don't have to wait 6 months. It's the same principle as going to the movies, you pay 10$ to view the movie once. You don't get to watch it over and over again. Sure you don't have to do that, you could wait 6 months and buy the dvd and be able to watch it as many times as you like, but your paying for a single viewing because you want to see it now and not wait.

Market isnt set by me, but there are alot more pirates out there that will eventually set the market. I can download a 320kbps rip of a CD and buy 5 CDs for $2.50. Thats 5 CDs that cost me less than $3 with tax and I have an exact copy minus the garbage that the group produced. I can mix and match any 20 songs I want.

With the way hit records are going Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, nobody these days can produce a decent hit. Thats why CDs get pirated.

HZ you should get DVDFab and a Netflix account. It will allow you to get any DVD in blu ray or regular DVD and use DVDFab to make your rips. For $10 a month you dont have to deal with the PPV bullshit.
