Illegal Downloading

[Captain]

I'll admit I do download quite a bit illegally. But seriously, for DJs especially, most of us aren't going to pay 99 cents per song and if we buy 900 songs....Thats $900 to Dj/450 Pounds to DJ....Yeah right.

Your not really a DJ though, all you do is play songs on a habbo website

real dj's get them free with all the money they make

Game publishers have stopped caring about Piracy because there's no way around it, indeed the new Prince of Persia window version was released with no protection whatsoever because someone would just crack it anyway.

I have started to buy more of my Music and Movies now I actually have some money coming in.

Then what happens eventually game developers realise that most people arent buying the pc games just pirating them so they realise theres not much money to make so they quit devloping then we lose good games because cheapskates who can't afford 30 quid for a game.

£30 is a lot of money for 10 - 30 year olds. We have other things to pay for, such as essentials to live on.

The way you say that are you assuming im over 30/under 10?

I have to pay for stuff aswell, yet i can still afford that stuff.

You'd be extremely sad to be over 30 and still use HXF LOL.

Under 10 and generally your parents buy ya stuff.

That isn't the case, Game Publishers are actually taking people to court and sending people letters, the music and video industries haven't done this in the UK (yet...).

Nearly all recent PC Games come with absolutely loads of DRM stuff. The main consequence of illegal downloading is stuff like Gears of War 2 has refused to come to the PC because of fear of illegal downloading.

I'm downloading 41 films at the moment. At like 15 pound per dvd. It's like £600+ - I'm not wasting that on something I'm going to watch once.
