   After much deliberation i have decided that i am going to pirate everything i possibly can (that i want anyway). What sprang this idea you ask? well mostly articals such as <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/an-open-letter-to-the-cria-071004/">http://torrentfreak.com/an-open-letter-to-the-cria-071004/</a>. i think it is time for these fuck heads to stop making examples of the most defensless victims (thomas trial is what i am reffering to there). anyone agree with me that this is fuckin bullshit?
   
   edit: heres a link to the thomas trial <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071004-verdict-is-in.html">http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071004-verdict-is-in.html</a>

   "If I like it enough to buy it, I will buy it. But if I don't intend on buying it, I torrent it."
   A fair reasoning that I can get behind.

   kurt urs works but if my bands want to get paid they will show up close enough to cedar rapids for me to go and watch them in concert
   
   dane yes i c its bullshit for a person who didnt do it 2 get blamed but its not like it hasnt happened before
   and seed all u want mister, what i dont get about that verdict is that u r supposed to be guilty beyond a reasoinable doubt, but with that article it said there wasnt nearly enough proof to fully convict her. overall its a GIRL what girl would seed 24 albums? retards in the court room again

   Bands make their money off of touring.
   Movies make money in the box office.
   
   You can't torrent a tour.
   You don't want to torrent a movie theater video.
   They still make money.

   TV Shows make their money off of the Nielsen Ratings and that is something that you're notified of if you are involved in.
   
   I am not part of a "Nielsen Family" so what I don't watch watch via the TV networks has absolutely zero change to their revenue.
   
   
   Oh, and Bittorrent spreads the word if a certain band/song/show/movie is good that you wouldn't have discovered, because you would have never bought it. That leads to the popularity and that leads to the tours/theaters/nielsen ratings that actually make these people money.

   i dont really prefer to download whole cd's because if i'm excited enough about a cd release i'll go buy it. cd's are almost like a collection to me. single songs are completely different though

    Oh, and you know that bittorrent programs that don't suck actually let you choose what files to download. So you can get just as many song/files as you want.
