what a complete opportunist twat Cleggover is. trying SO hard to be down wit da kids and super-internet friendly, what a tosser. If a new machine gun is invented that will kill millions of people per second, should we say "oh well, we simply can't control it - it's poeple's RIGHT to go around murdering people with this gun - the murder laws are SO old fashioned darling". Bollocks. WHy is it fuckheads liek Cleggover think that stealing other poeple's property is their so-called "right"

@TheZanipolo What the fuck are you talking about?!

[Sidowse]

@TheZanipolo The concept of supply and demand is clearly wasted on you.

If file 'A' is free, you download it.

If file 'A' costs £1 you might still download it.

If file 'A' costs £9.99 you don't download as you consider it too expensive.

The "Artist" doesn't lose revenue because the down-loader would have never paid for it, even if that was the only option in order to obtain the file in question.

With a lot of media the fact that it is free is the ONLY reason it gets watched/listened to.

Point I always make about 'bands' that whine about people sharing their music for free is that you are gaining fanbases in ways you could only dream of under the traditional model. Bands that are serious about pleasing there fans reap all the benefits of increased turn outs to live gigs and endless kudos for bringing people together. In other words sow and ye shall reap.

I have friends in Japan who have set up Proxy's in the UK so they can use the BBC iplayer, Spotify and other live UK TV.

The internet can not be controlled by old media, or old politicians, or old copyright laws. The internet is controlled by the users. And Always Will Be. Get real.

@wennetvideo well said , also if file sharing is illigal then every one as well as goverment are breaking the law lol

John Gilmore famously said: "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." It's *hard* to block things online.
