Category: Music
Is it ok to sneak in someones house and take things?
When you buy food and clothes or whatever, do you share them with strangers?
Why do you keep your new jeans for yourself but you share a movie with thousands of people?

Music, entertainment, e-books, movies - that's not everybody's right. It's not free informaiton as anarchists say. Free informaiton are news about society. Entertainment and other literature or music are private intelectual property. You've got no money or you think it's not worth your money, then read blogs, e-newspapers, go to the youtube or myspace. Here's plenty of free enetertainment. But giving opportunity to milions to take a product without paying and you do that against the will of the producer - that's a crime. And here I do not talk about a individual coping a CD or a DVD on her PC and than sharing it with a friend or a relative. We talk about giving your CD to thousands of unknown people. There is a difference that, difference that makes investments in music less, and logically you get worse quality of culture in the future. The result is obvious, but I do not think so many have noticed that.

The international monopoly of General Electrics and other media companies is horrible, but by downloading ileagally you don't punish just them but the artists too. And yes, I could think Celine Dion is rich enough, so she can afford free downloading of her music. But it's not you and me who has the right to steal her music just because she is too rich. We have the right to choose to buy her music or not. That's a different thing.

The whole Pirate Bay gang and their users are a bunch of thiefs, and no heros at all. It's so pity of those generations who think that ownership is the cancer of our society. I wish they could be deported to a country where copyright and ownership do not exist, where you can't own anything and the "strongest" takes all. Than humanity is back to pre-stone age, because that's anarchy in reality and not in theory - the jungle law - you run everytime a stronger one comes near you. There's no such thing that we humans are born knowing what's right or wrong. Every scientist can agree with that - that moral is not inharited (compassion and agression are partly inharited, but that's not moral). We are born animals with instincts only and we breeds to humans with moral by society and family.

It was wrong that the judge in the Pirate Bay judicial process was a member of copyright organisations. That's not fair. He must be totally objective. The process must be started from the beginning, but I do not think the result would be different anyway.

Hi and thanks! :-) I've downloaded too, or I've asked others to download for me... But what I've downloaded is probably 10% of what I consume. And the rest I've paid for. Then I do not mean that poor people in Africa, or latin America or some arab countries, where western music is inaccessible, should not download. I personally don't mind if they download my music but then it is the owner of copyright who decides. I just find it cruel to punish poor people for listening to music they just can't buy. But europians and north americans can pay and they should. How are you by the way? I hear it's not goning so well in the Baltics, but it's the same in Bulgare and in Sweden too. It just takes a while till the standard of living in Sweden sinks to bottom...

Well, I download first and then if I like it, I do buy it. If I don't like it, then I don't buy it, cause I don't have the money to buy all music I want to check. And I say that because I have bought albums that prooved to be bad and my money were wasted... I hope those people accusing users for downloading can understand that.

Hi there! :-)<br /><br />I understand you don't want to pay for something you don't like. I don't like it either, but it is very difficult for authorities to intercept and investigate if all material downloaded without permission or payment is liked or disliked. It is better to criminalize downloading of copyright material without paying or permission, and then you as a consumer can use the trailer and choose to ignore the producer who does not offer you a trail version. Most of artist have their albums on their myspace or websites - at least 30 to 50 sec of each song/piece. All movies have leagel trailers, and so it is with software too. <br /><br />Have a glorious day!<br />
