Federal Court to shutdown the Kazaa file sharing network within days

Started by GCG8 pages

I wouldnt download movies.

Music yes but movies no. Mainly cause the joint effort of making a movie towers high above the making of an album. Movie productions dwarf the Music Production.

Anyone agree ?

However i would download a crappy stupid blockbuster film just to make Hollywood mad and hope it flops so Hollywood would make better films that would actually be worth seeing in a theater.

Yes i saw the big films this year at the cinema.
(star wars, batman, war of the worlds, Harry potter)

Narnia and Kong i will rent those.

Last movie i downloaded was Matrix revolutions.

That's the message sent whenever people try to justify illegal downloading.

"They make heaps of money who cares if you download".

Even if it is a huge faceless corporation like Warner Bros. or Universal that doesn't give you a right. Beneath all that is a person just like you trying to make a living. He may be more successful, not that's not the point. Downloading is wrong.

I am not paying 14.00$ for a CD (that has only has one song of interest) i am not even sure is good.

However Itunes is okay. I use that here and there, Like i used it to get Madonna's new Song "hung up".

You are stealing from Madonna !

Dont you realise that with your $14.00, you can contribute to have her look fit in 40 years time ! ? ! ?

Then there is a simple solution: you don't get it.

You wouldn't walk into a shop and say 'call that a T-shirt? It's not even that nice. Why should I pay?', and walk out with it.

Yes, precisely. Use iTunes or another programs to acquire songs legally if you don't want to whole album or buy the single. Problem solved.

What they spend their money on is none of your concern and totally irrelevant to this thread. If your going to listen to what they worked for, buy it.

Make all songs on Itunes. That is useful but certain songs are missing.

Yeah but i also listen to some indian music and you can't get that from ITUNES.

However i never download games. I always buy 1 or 2 best seller a year for my PS2. Like im buying Star wars:Battlefront 2.

Wow you think i do bad things. You should see my friend. He never bought a cd, watched a movie in theaters or bought a dvd in 5 years. He also has not bought a video game in like 5 years.
Why, because he downloads everything for free. Even i get mad at him for downloading all those games.

I'll try to keep it in 🙄.

everytime you buy and kind of media player or blank media, 25% of what you pay goes into a compensation fund to record companies for copywrite infringement. They are already compensated and have no right to shut anything down. besides, they're just a bunch of ****ing fat rich pigs who destroy and exploit their own artists and would rather put out short term crap than talent.

There shouldn't be a need for compensation, because you should be doing it! Yes they still have a right to shut down these program for the fact that compensation doesn't pay for what they should be getting entirely.

Again with the corporate bashing. Being "f**cking fat rich pigs" has nothing to do with it. If you download illegally it's stealing end of story. It's wrong. It's been wrong for over 2000 years. What they do to their artist or how they live their lives doesn't justify the fact of you or anybody else stealing.

since artists are never compensated anyway, i feel no compunction stealing from record company weasils. Suing individuals for sharing is double jeopordy and is illegal in its own right.

You are living in a mythical dream world if you think that record companies are making staggering amounts of money at your expense- quite the opposite, it is a very precarious business and piracy is a contributory cause to bankruptcy.

probably, I download but still buy CD's as well, but only the groups that deserve it IMO.

Artists get paid royalties, but they can only get those if you buy their music!
