Well, what I want to know is how much money from selling product going to original creator of movie, game, book, music etc. and how much money going to greedy corporations? How long does copyright protection last? I read that it last for authors life plus 70 years after death. It's ridiculous! They can charge you for product they produce over 70 years ago! Even if they erned 1 bilion $ form screening the movie, they still can charge you with a crime for free watching. Greedy bastards!

I really think the message he was conveying was that if you don't stop, turn yourself in. You probably should legally buy the old stuff you downloaded for free from official websites, and probably delete the free copies. I'm not really sure if I'm interpreting him right but thats what I think. >_> Just an opinion.

@matthewrs7 Dream Evil is a great band my favorite song is chasing the dragon

[kingmawuli]

Did I just look and that?

[mybrainfknhurts]

I only download to check and see if I like an album before I go buy it. It sucks, but I don't like reading reviews, I like to check out stuff for myself.

You look frighteningly like me... And that bed looks like mine...  And I am sitting in that chair right now...

...wat

I need to stay off the drugs...

[MarilynMansonMedia]

I don't see how that's wrong, since I'm paying for them anyway.

Without the free downloads and media on the internet, i would have never got into marilyn manson, and i would have never bought every album he has ever made.

So in all of that.

Is it wrong?

They still get their money, and the "illegal" downloads were like an advertisement to me.

Think on it.

[MarilynMansonMedia]

My last comment was a little harsh.

But the way i do things is... i download whole albums from thepiratebay... (Kind of like a free trial...) then when IF i like it, i go to the store to get the great quality version, in a portable CD.

Same with the music videos i have.

I love the music videos that i downloaded for free..., and i want to be able to play those with even greater quality on my TV...

So next month I'm buying the dude's DVD that has all of his music videos on one disc.

[MarilynMansonMedia]

i downloaded a shitty quality song from somewhere, liked it, wanted better quality, and to hear the rest of his music, so i went to the store and bought his album.

But of course that must still be piracy... so i'm going to turn myself in.

Wow you're brainwashed.

I think videos like this could result in xray scans being performed before entry into a movie theatre or concert or the FBI cracking down on the pirating websites.
