Your views on illegal downloading.

[Skajo]

Music and films shouldn't cost so much.

I dont even know why its illegal... its like stupid. The buttons are there all you click is download and simple. I watched this programme where a tv presenter asked lots of people if they do it... EVERYONE did it. Even like old people and everything ... :rolleyes:

[Fehm]

I reckon, If the cost of music [Thats the biggest culprit in my opinion] was cheaper. there would be no need what so ever to illegally download it.

Say iTunes, 79p a track... If that was reduced to 50p or something that wasn't so odd, then you could easily work out, if you brought a £15 Gift Card, thats 30 songs. Your getting a good deal..

Its the record labels that are suffering, and they are the only ones that can control what's going on.

A record sells 500,000 copies and nets £2,000,000. About £1,972,000 goes to producers, managers, hire of equipment, studio and musicians, advertising etc.
So about £28,000 goes to the artists, even less if it has to be divided between band members.

I am against mass-downloading, but lets be honest your stats are VERY over the top.

If you can honestly say in the three years that busted were together they only made £28,000 each through CD's, then you are mad. (Going by the four main CD's they released).

Can't afford it more like :\

You mean you can't be assed to wait 12 hours downloading it, but you can't be bothered to order it which takes 5 mins? :rolleyes:

[Caution]

Most people can't afford it though! How many teenagers can afford to buy music and films, or how many in their right mind would when you can get it for free and spend money on more important things. :S

I can EASILY. Not exactly expensive :S

And again £10 to help the economy. "You wouldn't walk into a shop and steal a CD" ~ I bet if someone you knew was stealing stuff from shops you wouldn't be to fond of that person. Well then, what makes downloading off the internet right?

Music and films shouldn't cost so much.

Nor should games.

I actually think buying music singles is such a ****ing waste of effort and just wasting products to build other things..
