Either music, movies, or books...what say you?
I have a love/hate relationship with piracy. It is great to get things that are out of print, or hard to find, easily. I downloaded the first three Lou Christie albums, and those were vinyl rips of high quality.
That being said, I think it is terrible when someone downloads, and then doesn't buy. I always buy, or go see the movie.
Nothing wrong with it, unless it's copyrighted content. Entertainers still make their money in other ways, anyway.
I'm for it. Screw Big Media.
Yeah. I'll buy stuff from small-time artists and whatnot, but I have no problem with pirating movies and TV shows.

I download TV shows and movies all the time, but if I reaaally really like something and I'm likely to watch it again, I will buy it. Same with music. I'll download a couple of songs, if I like what I hear then I'll buy the album.
I don't know how to "pirate" media. I pay for things like music and movies and such. I am not necessarily opposed to it. But I think the companies and artists should be making something from it. I wish they would meet in the middle and lower the prices of buying music for downloads etc.
What gets me is that the new Batman movie is $14.99 from the iTunes store.
That same Batman movie is available, 3 days earlier than the US release date, in The Pirate Bay, for free.
I haven't downloaded it yet, but it's tempting....
The Pirate Bay? Isn't there some danger of being tracked or am I just the clueless old lady my son seems to think I am? ;b
Stealing is fun. I stopped caring long time ago
In your Bittorrent client user settings hit the Force Encryption option.WineKitty
