Even anti-piracy has it's funny side I guess

Just looks like another bunch jumping on the anti-piracy bandwagon.

All the crap about 'theft' and 'loss of earnings' are just them being greedy and wanting more and more money.

They aren't losing sales, because the chances are, the people who are 'stealing' their content most probably wouldn't have bought it any way.

At least they aren't going after individuals though, this is where the RIAA/MPAA and all the others totally invalidate their cries of deprivation, it's their problem people turn to downloading 'stolen' property, if they weren't so tight and charged less for their goods they'd sell more.

Say I download a movie, and it's utterly crap, they weren't getting my money in the first place, but, I downloaded 'I am legend' before it was in the cinemas, I liked it so I went the cinema to see it, and bought the bluray of it when it came out.

If all bluray movies were £10, I'd be buying them all the time, but £20-£30 for a movie and they wonder why people turn to downloading? They weren't getting my £20-30 in the first place, so stop complaining that you haven't milked yet another person for their money.

Probably because the majority are too young

Judge: "So you downloaded Aged Nun Fetishists Delight at 02:17 on 03/02/07, am I correct?"
Defendant: *mumble*

As long as they only go after the guys making money from piracy and not the end users, I have no problem with them. Piracy for personal use, in my mind, is nowhere near as bad as people making money from piracy.

Timmy_the_tortoise · 5th Aug 2008, 12:12

This guy is pathetic... finding "stolen" images on the internet actually made him that depressed?

Jesus, get a frickin' life.

Penrhos · 5th Aug 2008, 12:17

So the exploiters are getting exploited...... My heart bleads.

Mind you if someone from PAK turns up on your doorstep with a large trunchion in hand - be very afraid....

let's be fair here, it's still his work being pirated like anyone elses work.

it's just that sex is a far better way for someone to enjoy work.

I don't care what his work is.. No one should be depressed by it.. I mean, come on..

What we really need is for them to go after the end user in much the same way as the RIAA and MPAA, suing OAPs and dead people for looking at indecent material.

Then Cupertino can step in with their new online service iJerk, DRM encoded video and images for the iPod generation.

I'd complain, but only with my economy-sized can of Lysol® disinfectant.

LOL @ Sending someone a letter in the mail saying "we know where you live". If they are able to mail that kind of says "we know where you live". So in essence that amounts to sending a blank letter with just their logo or something else identifying the sender and nothing more.
LOL
