Nobody can own a copyright to an item that is saved on my hard-drive. Because I own my hard-drive and you cannot copyright numbers [Binary]

The main benefits of pirating are obviously cost, but mostly convenience I think. Media industries need to better the convenience of P2P technology if they want to sell more.
There is nothing wrong with the technology and there is no need to "better" it.
I like the technology and it works great, but media companies sell their products at a price point that in no way reflects the reality.
Now, take a traditional CD. Taking the time and cost of making the album aside, you need to pay for production, CD pressing, manufacturing, distribution - fair enough.
Online, the artist only has to make the album (same as before) but they do NOT need to pay any of the distribution costs. Why are these huge cost savings not passed onto me, the consumer? Somebody is pocketing the difference and it sure aint the artist.
Another thing that bugs me is that "You wouldn't steal a handbag" advert. Well no, you wouldn't. You wouldn't do it because the Theft Act defines theft as taking property without the owners consent with the intent to permanantly deprive them of it.
If I download an album, what physical, tangible item have I deprived someone of?
Nothing!
It's not theft and everybody knows it!
At best it's copyright infringement and that's a civil matter here in the UK, not a criminal one.
And come on, "you wouldn't steal a car"?
Obviously as it's a physical object, but if it was possible to download a Ferrari off BitTorrent then you can be damn sure I would :)
one thing i wish i could torrent is the gas to run the Ferrari, imagine endless gas from the internet.... |

 Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.
epic LOL. They tried to do something similar here (New Zealand) If you were even suspected of, or accused of any acts of downloading pirated content, your ISP was meant to cut you off. No warnings, no enquiries, that sort of thing, just cut you off. Needless to say it went down in flames faster than a bubbled pod in nullsec. |
