Pirate Journals

Mkay, the last month I downloaded 15 songs from ShineDown, 17 songs from Slipknot, 4 songs from poisonblack, 16 songs from Muse, 12 songs from 3 Doors Down, and 16 songs from Drowning Pool.

So, really, what's the difference between pirating and shoplifting a CD?

And seriously, NT, I can't see you watching Duplicity or Bolt more than once or twice, so why not RENT?

where the hell do i begin... well i down loaded the terminator recently...

Nothing.

The FBI doesn't give a shit.

What part of "if" is escaping you?

because renting doesn't allow me to watch the movie on my blackberry in class.


in all reality, there is no way I COULD pay for them to be on my blackberry. But also lack of money is a thing.

It's not my fault I fit in a gap of the market they have yet to address.

You gave the 'If' I gave the 'Then'

it was pretty much a proper if-then statement.....what part of that is escaping you?

So what makes this different from shoplifting a CD again?

Nothing that would hold up in court.

Pretty much nothing ethically either.

oh, the fact a CD actually cost someone to harvest those resources, form them into a cd/case/booklet, ship it, store it, ship it, store, and attempt to sell it.

pirated stuff cost nothing =D

Someone still had to put time and effort into making the content.

Yeah so instead of the CD making company, you're just directly ripping off the content producers. Much better.

but, the content is defined by the purchase.

but this thread isn't a piracy discussion thread, its a pirate JOURNAL =d

Pretty much every new TV show I watched has been streamed. Does that count? I mean it takes a goddamn year to get broadcast in the UK anyway.

Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, Simpsons, Reaper, Lost, Mythbusters, My Name is Earl, Scrubs. I think that's it for American TV I watch. The rest I watch on the BBC site.

A CD costs nothing to make. Shipping, handling, printing, and advertisement hardly costs more than 7 dollars a CD.

The rest goes to the artist (Because he and his family have to eat... and they publish one album a year, tops) the songwriters, the technicians, buying the equipment (Instruments and recording)...

All of these invisible little people who nonetheless need to eat, drink, and shelter themselves.
