P2P in trouble?

Call me an idiot one more time...

I notice no one else has resorted to name-calling and rather than actually debate, you\'re just acting childish...

A weak argument is better than no argument...

And who\'s really the idiot?

You think taking something without paying is NOT stealing?

You are a thief, end of story...

Grow the f**k up, get a job, and quit bitching about how music companies rip you off...

Funny how the ones who steal music are the ones who cry they\'re being ripped off...

How are you being ripped off if you didn\'t pay anything?

:rolleyes:

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

He is fairly right. I mean i feel torn inbetween parts of both arguments that could be presented but if this were a debate, then i know exactly what ash is saying. Take nike - they get away with everything. I mean Nike has moved locations to get cheap labor so many times its not even funny. These things cost cents to make and the design process behind making each shoe isnt always so vast either.

Yet people will buy nike shoes that will last maybe a year or so for over a hundred dollars. I guess people dont steel them because its not that easy but people still buy them. If you want to talk about people getting away with murder then look at companies like nike.

I\'ve already admitted that I gave a lousy comparison but the point  is, if you download songs for free, you\'re a thief...

There is no argument...

Well p2p here in Iceland is all but dead as of Sept 28.

Our RIAA / MPAA clone managed to get their way and there was a major bust on our local network. 12 people in jail, 100 being questioned by the cops later to be jailed most likely and w whole lot more bs.

Most people here were using Direct Connect to form a local network, it had grown quite big, almost 5% of the population was there every day and 270tb of data offered.

Suffice to say, everything is going crazy, people say their privacy is being ignored and whatnot, the RIAA clone says it\'s losing money and I can\'t get my newest Stargate Atlantis episode.

Sorry, but I have little sympathy for people who know they\'re committing a crime and then cry about it when they get in trouble for it, no matter how small or "victimless" it is...

Some people were commiting blatand copyright theft such as movies that are still in or not even in the theaters yet.

However things like TV shows are a grey area, they are shown on open air and sharing them on the internet is no different than sharing on vhs for instance.
