June 26, 200421 yr You're allowed to have a copy of your stuff as long as you don't let anyone else have it. Here we have something different. You can have illegal copies, but you CANT sell them or otherwise make profit from them. PARADISE!!!
June 26, 200421 yr You're allowed to have a copy of your stuff as long as you don't let anyone else have it. I don't think they'd go crazy on you just because you have vinyl instead of CD. You're allowed to download it, only if you can, yourself, make copies of it all. I can make DVD rips of movies i own - So i can go off and download any one of those movies i own as a rip...but if i don't own it, or i cannot rip it myself...it's no longer legal.
June 27, 200421 yr the ONLY thing that piracy hurts is the record and movie industries PROFIT MARGINS...... more piracy = less profit = higher priced CDs to make this back up, = more piracy and so on and so on,,, Hell if a CD cost even double what it cost to make and market, (about $3) then how much piracy do you think there WOULD be?
June 27, 200421 yr Author Good, because all the new music out there is crap Hell Yeah! Thats where Montgomery Gentry comes in... (Hell Yeah is a popular song by Montgomery Gentry)
June 27, 200421 yr Wah, wah, wah I don't see anybody crying for me and my 19.00 an hour job. Sell one number one and you're a millionaire and the song can be made on anybodies home computer. I work for 24 years now and don't think I have made near a million, so whatever. I take what I can get. Don't flame me cuz I don't care if artists or record companies lose money. I have 1500 cd's that I have bought legally. There is very little that is good in music these days that I would buy so what I d/l is very little. There are much bigger problems to deal with, like why does a guy that plays baseball make 15 million or more a year and a guy defending our country make 30 or whatever thousand a year? Give firemen and police and doctors millions and let the musicians and actors get lesser. I am not talking about software that educated people make that is getting ripped off. Sure, those people are intelligent and make the world better with their products. I just don't see musicians whining about losing money because they should be in it for love of music. You get these rappers( not stereotyping here, but...) that grow up stealing for what they have and then they whine about people stealing their music. ha ha whatever!
June 27, 200421 yr I don't think they will suceed with this bill. There are too many people and too many computers on the internet to stop this. There will always be away around there method of stoping piracy. For them to stop piracy and copyright infringment they would have to just ban the computers, the internet, and any other device that has the ability to duplicate.
June 27, 200421 yr theres also artist that put there music out on the net just so they can get known.
June 27, 200421 yr Cars are used to transport drugs and for purposes related to prostitution etc.. etc.. etc.. Does that mean we will have to ban the automobile? very good point made here.
June 27, 200421 yr Plus, the U.S. still does not control me, or the other 5,725,000,000 (Five billion, seven hundred twenty five million) people out there. If I were an artist, I would not particularily care if my music was downloaded. More people know me that way. Good music will end up making you money, in the long run. You may not make $100 million on your first record. Sorry to break your hearts. <3 Bono. Putting that money to a good use.
