Illegal Downloading

[GommeInc]

I don't see illegal downloading that big a deal to be honest. It's not exactly bad at the moment and does little damage either way. I don't see adobe going bust or famous song writers going bust because of this. There are far worse things and I like Pyroka's logic, "It's not a crime unless you're caught." That's technically what the behaviour is now with it.

Singer 'Duffy' doesnt mind people downloading her music without paying for it, aslong as you start paying for it when you start getting money.

I dont download myself, i still go out and buy the albums etc..

No its wrong though majority of us do it including me. However put it this way actors/musicians (if popular) are paid a bigger wage now than they ever have done in the past, so cant be all that bad. But then again think how bigger there wage packet would be if we couldnt download illegally.

I'm gunna use the: 'They earn enough money anyway' arguement.

Is it right to download Movies and Games or anything else copyrighted from the internet? Should internet service providers do more checks to try and stop pirate downloaders? Do people only download because they can't afford to pay for it?

What do you think.

I think its fine to a point. See them people who are making movies music and games are making millions and they just being greedy and want more money. There are people out there who cant afford to buy a movie but they may really want to see it. They may not be able to buy thier favourite artist album but they really like thier music and enjoy listening to it. I think that its ok however thinking about the other side of the argument it has gotton a bit out of controll its coming to a point where nearly evryone will have a computer and be able to download things illegaly. This will be a bit unfair on the people making these things.

so yeh its fine by me

if it can be ripped from a cd/dvd or other medium, then it can be shared over the internet.

the only way to stop the illegal downloads is to make it impossible to rip songs/movies from a disc.

This is my little formula to see what I do with an item I downloaded whether I should keep etc

if(item='good''&price=stupid) then //as in photoshop
execute.keep
if(item='good'&price=sensible) then //such as a movie on DVD
execute.buy
if(item='bad') then
execute.delete

if it is good and I can afford I always buy the item
