Piracy is an interesting topic.

After all, how can I steal something if nobody actually loses anything? If I steal your shovel ...well, you don't have a shovel anymore.

I look at it this way...

If I download Photoshop, I get to use Photoshop and Adobe gets nothing.

If I don't download photoshop, I don't get Photoshop and Adobe still gets nothing.

Either way, Adobe doesn't generate a dime. I say it's only piracy if one can reasonably prove that you would have bought a product if you couldn't have obtained it illegally.

Just my two cents.

Yes I also think of it that way. But then again I have bought less CDs since I started downloading and I've visited the cinema less frequently. I have bought quite a few DVDs though.

I think a good solution would be to have a subscription system. I would be willing to pay $20-$25 a month to be able to download everything I want in high quality. My downloads would be monitored and the money would be divided accordingly. If everyone had this I think the artists would still make enough money.

*bill gatess*

yeah or maybe we can eliminate sharing with your friends all together, and make everyone pay to listen to songs and watch movies all the time, just like an arcade.  Nolonger will you actually own anything, from now on you will rent EVERYTHING.

Welcome people to the age of disposable EVERYTHING.

P.S. If you deny me my money and power, you will be assraped till I say stop.  *Sips tea*

in related news it appears jail has actually turned into another source of revenue for the usa.  With over 10 billion licence plates built each year and 20 trillion condoms bought. :3some:
