1. Comment - Study Shows Piracy a Huge Problem

   (May 5, 2006 - 2:33 AM)

   That study is flawed, if you look you will notice that it was commissioned by the BIAA (Bandage Industry Association of America) and does not take into account the use of comedy blow-up hammers...

2. Comment - Study Shows Piracy a Huge Problem

   I think that's totally idiot. Start your own business, I am coming by your store and I will just pick something up under the guise of "well I wouldn't have bought it anyway" and let's see how long your company survives.

   
   That is not the same.
   

   The people that don't have a problem with Piracy, don't know what its like to have someone steal from you. Piracy, even if it is software, is STEALING. do you understand crime? Do you understand theft? Evidently not.

   
   Filesharing is NOT Piracy, no matter how much you have been brainwashed... I totally understand theft, and I also understand Copyright Inringement, I'm afraid they are TWO separate entities.
   

   There is no "fair" when it comes to intellectual property. You see it as intangible, and therefore holds no value, its even MORE valuable because it can be duplicated and most of the time the company is unaware their product is being spread, illegally. Physical property is easier to understand because you can't duplicate it, since this isnt' the 26th century, we don't don't have matter replicators..yet.

   
   Of course there is fair use, company A's product is NOT being spread illegally, company A's copyright is being infringed.
   

   You have an idea, you give it to someone. They take it, steal it, and you don't get credit, ergo you don't get money, ergo you don't get anything.

   
   Again, not the same as infringement...
   

   Fair use, is made up by the general public, it doesn't exist except in your head.

   
   I'm afraid you're wrong again, it is legal for me to make a backup copy for my own personal use, as far as UK law is concerned it is enshrinhed in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. So as for it being made up by the general public...
   

   Just because the law can't be enforced in each and every persons home doesn't make it that less legal, its still STEALING. Obviously you dont' have a damn problem with stealing.. I feel sorry for your kids.

   
   Goebbels was correct when he stated "Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth", dont fall for the propaganda.
