I agree, piracy is not the way forward. Piracy is a big problem in many countries and as much as you
try and stop it, people will still try to sell piracy dvd's and such. Its like drugs, it's illegal
but people will still do it. Even if it means taking a big risk. |

I agree I just got a letter from the PRS. If I were to even play the radio to myself I would have to
pay for a licence as it happens.
If someone writes a piece of music that was played over and over again and yet no-one ever payed for
it the art would just die out. |

They should be punished because it is the same as theft who is a criminal. |

That's kind of silly, pythagoras.
However, I still disagree on other grounds. What we're seeing now is a wake up call to traditional
retailers who are relying on outmoded and unworkable business models. We've already seen in the
music industry that as soon as they adopted fee-based online downloads, it was embraced by millions
upon millions of people, so much so that everyone wants their own download site so they can get a
bigger piece of the pie. The same goes for video downloads, it's bringing in millions, so much so
that NBC has set up their own site for downloading all their TV shows. Video-on-demand has taken
off on many digital cable services because it gives people what they want at a price they're willing
to pay.
Unfortunately, idiots like the RIAA and MPAA think they have the right to dictate how everyone sees
and hears media at whatever prices they deem to charge. The fact is that the Internet has revised
the paradigm and companies that want to change with it are doing well, those who want to cling to
business models from the 70s are failing.
And good riddance to them. |
