Pirating? Wrong or Right?

[thorne_bro]

It's not that big of a deal I figure what Shakaka said... they have so much money right now to begin with nothing is going to hurt them if they lose $20 for a CD with 10 songs on it...

 

[johnty15]

I think its okay with songs, but if you profit off of someone else's work thats wrong. I personally just listen to them on Youtube. I just think its better off.

 

[I Sell Runescape Goods]

I think it's perfectly fine. Not only because of what Shredderbeam said, but because they DON'T NEED THE MONEY.

They are already more wealthy than most people buying their music will ever be, so who cares if you steal a few songs?

Your sort of wrong there and sort of right. Suppose it is a Groups fist album? Then their broke before they actually sell the albums. Thats when they lose profit. Say it was a 6th albu, then it wouldn't matter becuase they have money from their first, second, third, fourth, and fifth albums.

No problem in pirating.. my opinion

 

[I_V_Firecape]

Many people do it, as long as you're not selling things as your work I think it's fine. It's not harming others or hurting their business.

The producers just want to make
a ton of dough so they call it
"pirating" They don't want to give
the dvd/music out for free because
they won't be making cash. I
think it's bullshit that I gotta pay
$8 to go to a movie for 2 hours to
watch a movie.

Take it from their perspective though. They put in a lot of time,
effort and money just to make their product. If they start
letting people get their products for free then they will eventually
end up losing money. How many people do you think will even
bother making movies, music....ect anymore?
If they lose out on their investment, then we lose out on our media.

[Definitefail]

Until DRM is gone from existence I will continue to torrent my music albums.

There shall not be any restrictions on anything I buy.

That's the misconception everyone seems to have about pirating. People believe that large companies will not suffer from their software or other things being pirated, but that is not the case. More and more people are believing in the same idea, slowly hurting companies.

I'm somewhat for pirating, and somewhat against it. People worked hard for the software you use, free or not. Think about it like this: You write software, one of the most widely used softwares, which you worked very hard for. The company you work for decides to sell the program for a lot of money. Sure, you'll get some buyers. But you'll see so many people are using your software without paying. Doesn't that make you mad, that some kid is using your work for free? The one that you worked so hard to create?

I'm also for Pirating because I support free software. People shouldn't need to pay for things that they need to use. It's quite silly.

I have to totally agree with you.
I've just read what you posted 3 times and you're totally right in my opinion.

I'm not responsible for supplying them with money. If they go broke, it's not my fault.

Take it from their perspective though. They put in a lot of time,
effort and money just to make their product. If they start
letting people get their products for free then they will eventually
end up losing money. How many people do you think will even

I don't see how putting time into a concept allows you to own that concept.

its wrong, it rips hardworkers off, but hey we ALL do it =s

How so? Because i happened to find a free copy?

 

[MADD]

It depends, sooner or later if people stop paying to go see films, or buying DVDs, the quality of the films are bound to be affected...that being said, i love bit torrent.

yes im a hypocrite

 

[MintaQua 69]

There's nothing wrong with pirating. How can you own an idea, or a song? You can own tangible things that exist in reality, sure, but can you really own a concept?

That's what im thinking for

 

[silab king]

i dnt see a problem with pirating becoz dvd and pc games are expensive so y buy em when ya can download em for free

The issue is not how expensive they are - rather, whether a concept can be considered property.

No more said, suppourt 100%. Pirating encourages bands to make money out of live shows rather than records which increaes the availability of live music to the population which can't be a bad thing.
