Opinion does not make fact. Let people see for themselves and decide for themselves.

I find that when i bit torrent an album or movie, if i like it, ill go out and buy the actual cd/dvd because it has the cover, real cd, etc. If i dont like it, i toss it out and i havent wasted money, and they havent earned said wasted money. I dont thrive on the downloaded stuff because i feel something is missing unless i have the real thing. I go into a Virgin Megastore and buy an album i downloaded 3 months before.

Who is GAmo? IS that the director?

[QuasiEvilScott]

Yeah, I'm shallow. O_o

I'm also in Seminary and have Ethics discussions on 'piracy' regularly. We have a difference in opinion (obvious) and a difference of focus (less obvious).

To sum up my general thesis - one I neither emotionally or mentally require you to agree with for my own comfort - is this:

When producers and consumers directly control the content and quality, theft is a problem. When there is a middleman who steals the power away from either of those ends, stealing it back is ok

I used to do the same thing when I was 11 years old. I know the great feeling your have when you are part of the first to sample a new movie or music.But it where is the surprise when you find something you like and have already stolen the whole first, second or third season for a movie, cartoon,or television show. Or happen to listen to whole albums before they hit shelves. I know your QES, but I don't think your thinking things through enough. I feel that allyoudoingislookatthingssuper­ficially

[thinker900]

Sorry, that you can't read and think at the same time. But if your going to get into this conversation than bring something to table other than your big mouth.

[fronczek123]

you make a why better point than ol tinker who i really cant understand what hes saying.

[thinker900]

QES: Do you see how ignorant that sounds? Everyone in entertainment will satisfy every fanboy or girl of a genre. That is not a good excuse to go and steal a persons hard work. I mean try not thinking about yourself and wear someone elses shoes for a breif sound. Image you are that artist actor or otherwise how would you feel if you were gipped out of the pay you signed onto and because a couple of fans pirated you work you are unable to get paid the amount signed for. Do you think that is fair

[thinker900]

You know what if you can't understand that stealing is stealing than you need to look at your values. Nor should the rock bands,rapers,country singers, Cartoon and anime artist,voice actor. Right! Most in the entertainment field have have went to schools and lived and breathed the art they have made. Are your fucking serious, it like your saying that these people regardless of the time they spent doing their art aren't worth getting paid if they don't reach everyone's expectations.

[QuasiEvilScott]

Bittorrent isnt depriving people of money - it's depriving undeserving people of money. Most bittorrent users purchase and will patronize the things they enjoy - the things that are WORTH their money.

What this is doing is killing poorly made or 'pulp' products that even kitsch collectors should veer away from.

I'm all for the writers, producers, directors and actors. But I think that pay pairity needs adjusting (actors dont need millions per pic. and writers should get paid more).

-Qes

[thinker900]

For QES cont: for their work they've done. And mind you some films may take up to a yr or more to make. I mean look at how much it took for this sucky film to make 85,000,000 dollars and they only made up about 35,000,000. So, if you don't know it a majority of it is given to props,rental cost,etc. And whatever is left is given to actors and staff minus of course the sell of the dvd's and soundtrack.But wait if that is being stolen then...you got it almost 0 is made by artists. THINK!
