Wow, I just love to see people try to down piracy. This is an age old argument that will never end. Bottom line is this, When one goes out and buys a game, movie, or music cd. That person should be allowed to copy his stuff at will. Thats like the FDA saying , when you buy fruit at the super market you can not take the seeds and plant them to grow more and give away. I am sure no one would call that illegal. I it is also insain to force people to not be able to legally make copies of expensive software for backup.
Point number two, I am sure many people that claim piracy is wrong i am sure they have copied tv shows, sports games, personall cd's. In todays society even that purely done for your own use is illegal. Whats the crime in that?
Point three, the companies that make these entertainment things simply need to drop the price. I am sure if most games were around $25 - $30 bucks ea people would buy the hell out of them. But when you make a game damn near $60 bucks and have no return policy. I think you are simply asking for it. As far as the music industry goes. When you sell a CD with 14 - 19 songs and it cost say $14 - $20 bucks. When I go home and listen to it and I only enjoy 1 maybe 2 songs because the artist clearly made those hot songs and the rest are simply filler to put the cd out. Then you are again asking for piracy. If the recording industry was smart. They would charge like $.25 - $.99 cent a song and allow you to make your own cd's. I am sure the recording industry would be making soooo much more money that way. They are too busy shafting the artist by giving them pennies on the dollar per cd and pocketing the rest. Hell I feel sorry for the artist because they get screwed in the long run. But it is not by the consumer, it is by the lable. Hell artist even have to pay to make their own videos for songs.
It's all just crazy. Then to get on a web site that honestly is all about some type of piracy and boast that it's a bad thing to me is just insain. Hell even modding your own equipment is considered piracy to some degree. And dont say well we allow the sales of mod chips on this site so that people can run other os's on their consoles. Well.....Hmmmmmm thats illegal as hell as well. You just can't win.
