So Internet piracy is going back to the dark ages?

[froggle]

Personally, I'm just getting tired/bored of it all. I guess it was too much of a good thing, haha.


No homo, but piracy shyt don't excite me no more. I used to stay getting anything and everything, anticipating shyt...but now and days, I hardly look for anything, unless its a request or stuff I've been watching/using for years.

I agree, I been downloading from way back before most people even knew how to burn a cd It got me through college as I was able to off selling movies and cds

right now, I care not for amassing tons of music, games, programs and movies, that I wont even listen to/play/use ever.

I am able to get whatever I want at a touch of a button and probably download a movie once a week or something. Let me not even start on music All of that is in the bushes, as Im too busy, nothing too exciting. Stick with the classics and im good.

Piracy isnt going anywhere soon. Once there are humans, there are going to be those who go against the grain. It will get harder for the common man, but others

I got what you mean but I'm not sure it's necessarely bad. People that add content are already aware of the underworld. Do you really think that somebody ripping the last movie or the last album isn't already in the game and doesn't already know sites where to upload his files to ?

Most people (I'm talking about the average person) that come to those sites aren't uploaders, they just here to download. On private trackers, they seed because they have to just to keep their ratio up, but if they weren't forced, most of them will avoid seeding.

Dark ages aren't necessary bad for piracy. My opinion is that it should stays in the shadows, I mean, ethically speaking... I'd be mad if I were an artist seeing all my work in the light like that

Thing is artists that would usually be in the background have been gaining more exposure thanks to piracy than otherwise. Movies that no one would have even thought of are selling well thanks to people downloading and spreading the word about them. Piracy aint the problem. It's these corporations who are unwilling to get with the times and embrace the exchange of information.

Yeah, I was talking about already established artists who eat off albums sales.

Downloaded 80 gigs last month and plan to download more than that this month. Piracy isn't going anywhere.

This topic seems to come up every six months and we still out here eating.

Eating? It's been a famine since megaupload got taken out. My ribs have been touching breh.

Hum, you may be right


Do my point still holds ?







Anyway, I meant that seeing some of you work available for free, although you want them to be sold could be kinda... irritating for them.
Piracy may help artists, but soundcloud + Juno/Itunes/Beatport/Whatever help them more IMO.

 

[Why-Fi]

its becoming way more convenient to just buy things imo. especially when youre dealing with cross-platform access (particularly apple and sony). it saves a shyt load of time and work...
