Nobody ever mentions software, I dont understand why
software companies aren't up in arms for file swapping
piracy.

I'm gonna download all I can in the next couple months cuz I
think some major shit may go down.

CD Burners, CD-Rs, VHS recorders, casette recorders.....all
of these devices are used to make copies of copyrighted
material and are perfectly legal. They are found in almost
every North American home.

What is the difference? These devices cost money. The
government generates income through taxation of these goods.
Giants like Sony and Panasonic have a little $$$ to say
things about their CD recorders and VHS recorders.

File Swapping is free and the government generate any money
through file swapping. This has nothing to do with piracy.
If it did you wouldn't have that CD recorder installed in
your PC right now.

Food for thought. Either way, musicians are losing money -
difference is, governments are making money with tangible
audio and video recorders.

1) companies have been aware of and fighting software piracy
since the early '80s and they stopped many years ago with
public campaigns to stop it because they know they can't.
instead they just jack up the prices!

2) in a strange twist of fate, software companies actually
make the best out of piracy. they hook people on games so
that when they have to, they'll buy it (such as when they
want it or its sequel for a game console instead of the
computer). frequently and very importantly companies use
piracy to establish their software as the frontrunner in the
career field, eg: adobe software (photoshop especially).
some companies even make their software relatively easy to
pirate (ie: all you need is a serial #) so that practically
anyone can get the full version for free, get immersed in
it, and then enter that field. such as if a 12 year old does
photoshop stuff for 8 years it's almost a given he'll start
or join a company dealing with graphic design, and then you
have to actually pay for the software, plus all the offshoot
programs and updates. so piracy can actually be good
marketing, just like for music.

hahaha!!! this whole copyright infringement issue is getting
more hillarious by the minute! it'd be some seriously funny
shit if they actually passed the proposed legistlation
allowing for computers of users trading copyrighted material
to be hacked into and blown up! =) i honestly can't wait for
the time when they will suggest mandatory sentences of life
in prison or the death penalty for file swapping.

whats it matter, nothing bad will happen unless you have all
the pop albums, if you have all obscure tracks nothing will
happen even if this insane law is for real sometime soon.

bah.
your chances of getting caught are about 1 in 100 million.
and after they catch you they have to track you down, get
you into a court and prove you were breaking the law.

not very good odds. these guys obviously don't know
anything about implied odds and positive expectation.

The music industry is angry because it allows us to more
readily find out about music that isn't advertised by the
large record labels. Without file sharing, most people will
only hear about what the music industries advertise all over
the fucking place.
