I look at it this way, The first time someone is put in jail for this and they get kiled in jail, is when we will have to look at the laws diffrently. Personal, yea its stealing, but then i used to make copies of music playing the radio and make mix tapes for freinds. So if i do that now I will be in a jail. this is getting out of hand, I would really like to see the aritist and actors take back their rights, I mean it is there creation.
Now I think these guys who sell games/music/dvds on the side of the streets to make money should burn in a prison. If your going to make money, do it the rigth way. But I think someone who downloads a movie and watches it at his house or in his car shoud NEVER be touched.
I look at piracy one way. its the best form of advertising out their, you download it, tell people 5 people about it 2 of buy it, the other 1 download it. i work with people all day long who when you ask them to go to the start button on their computer they have no idea what your talking about. So they arent losing that much
You can not project a loss based on a download, just beacuse i download it, does mean Ill use it. And trust me, if I pay 18 bucks for a cd/dvd and it sucks beacuse i couldnt hear/see the whole thing I wanna take it back. Which most places will not let you return music/movies. That is the real bullshit. Allow me to return crap and i will buy. You have no idea How many games I have previewed =) and never played agian becuase they just outright suck ass. Nuff said
