Personally, I don't believe in intellectual property rights. (I mean how can you OWN an idea?) That being said, I still prefer to get things through legitimate means when possible. If it isn't possible (or at least very inconvenient) it's really their own fault if we pirate their stuff. It seems to me that big companies use copyright law less for the money's sake and more just to have control over all instances of the ideas they purport to own. They are control freaks - why should this be backed up by law? I'm sorry, but I can't even respect an opinion so full of BS. They INVEST money just like into any other business, of course they want they investment protected by law! I torrent all the time but at least I see it as it is and don't use some BS logic (uhh....you guyz didn't make it convenient...uhhh) to defent what I do. And what is this you are saying about intellectual right? This is the kind of talk one would expect to hear in some 3rd world country. I thought this forum was a place where we could discuss our opinions openly and without childish insults. I just wished to express my genuine opinion. I'm sorry that my opinion offended you. We obviously think very differently. |

Hey Sean can you invite me? Lemme know and I'll pm my email. He can't, it takes like 2 month of being a member before one can send out any invites, they do a really good job of keeping a cap on the number of members. That's the only way to know that only right people get in. I still have a couple of invites, if you want send me your e-mail and I will get you in. |

I "pirate" QI. There is no way for me to easily obtain the episodes without spending $150 I don't have.
I also pirate songs because I usually don't like all the songs by a specific group. You think I want an Adam lambert album if I like 1 of the songs and don't care for the others?

Or whatever music store is readily available to you. |

I pirate music, albeit no new music, and a lot of music from dead artists who no longer get money from their music anyway (Frank Zappa, John Lennon, etc). A lot of torrents are better quality then the SHIRT on iTunes too.

If you just start downloading from pirate bay its really easy to get to you. but some websites (IPtorrents) are encrypted. Also, when downloading from sides like pirate bay you should use a proxy server. |

Half of the profit goes to record labels, and tons more to the people who helped make it happen. Also advertising costs money. The actual artist get s a small percentage of the money. |
