what are your thoughts on music piracy?
yea, the poll options are kinda flawed. but i tried to keep it simple (yes, no, maybe)ryosuke said:wrong options...because i would say that most sensible people here download lots of music, but do that to check out new bands and then also buy CDs...ok, with my limited budget as a student i cannot buy every CD i download, but p2p networks have enabled me to find lots of new bands and i buy more CDs than ever before.
you also mix up piracy and downloading/sharing. piracy is when you copy lots of CDs and then sell those pirated copies. thats a crime and i condemn that.
What he said.zenkidori said:The RIAA and MPAA have horrible loss projections because they take how many times a song has been downloaded, then assume that if people couldn't download it they would have bought it and mutiply that by the cost and voila! they can now rant and rave about piracy costing them "billions" in "lost" revenue.
