They should start picking up some different points to argue on..

Harvard University is untouchable.

I’ve found that BitTorrent has pretty good speeds, provided whatever you’re trying to download has enough sources. Note that the speed slowly ramps up. It’s not uncommon to see 3-5K/s at the start, but go up to 320K/s by the middle of the transfer. I only have 3Mb DSL, so that’s as high as I’ve seen it go. eDokeny on the other hand, is slower than snot! Still, I’ve found some things on there that I wasn’t able to find anywhere else.

However, since you lack sentient intelligence, allow me to rephrase this in a way so that your meager brain can handle it: “Pull your brain out of your as5 and use it every now and then! Quit trying to sound smart by bashing other people because you cannot fully comprehend what they are thinking.”

I download music if i want it, i buy it if i really want the whole album, which is pretty rare nowadays, plus i DO pay a surcharge to be allowed to do this, and love this idea.

as for movies, it’s pretty rare that i even see a movie that is worth paying for, nowadays everything is just a ripoff or remake of some older movie, and they expect us to pay for what THEY have STOLEN?

yeah, right!!!
as for games, if i can’t download something i like, i’ll just go back to playing games like idlepimps and runescape for FREE.

apps, now that is a bit different, i would have to pay for some of them… yet there is no actual group like MPAA or anything that actually does anything useful where it actually IS needed.

Now prob 50% of my 3tb collection is not from downloading, for years we had “rip parties” and everyone would bring some of their collection and rip and burn. The advent of large portable drives just makes it easier to amass a large MP3 collection. There is ZERO they can do to stop that activity. I havn’t used a P2P client since Napster went down .. most are slow as S&^% and quality is crap.

99% of cd’s now are disposable artists .. they have 1 or 2 good tunes and the rest is filler .. people wised up and that is why Itunes and singles driven services are popular. Why buy a pig if you only want two strips of bacon?

Try all they want their distributuin and profit from media is dead. Media is worthless once it’s digital. I would support and agree to a tax (surcharge) on Blank media, portable hard drives and MP3 players .. that is where they can recoup this lost “profit” .. there is no way anyone 12-40 is going to pay a dime for something they can easily find free and 99c per song is not a fair price.

thanks for reading ..

They must be a bunch of people with no logical sence at all
if they can’t realise the fact that because of filesharing
people get access to movies, music and games that they never would even notice otherwise and never buy, but if you download something and really like it, most people would probably buy it or future releases from the same artist, director etc..

One school is doing just that;

As for this story; I calculate that since the RIAA and MPA started this crusade against file sharers, I have spent $100,000 worth of my time and energy reading about it. Where do I send the bill?

I’m living proof that every pirated copy doesn’t equal a lost sale. I’ve only had DSL since December 2006. Before that I only had dialup, which made downloading movies completely impractical (I was never much into music). Despite the fact that I had no easy way to pirate movies, I still didn’t buy many, or go to the theater that often. I only own one TV show and one Hollywood movie on DVD (Firefly & Serenity). Every other DVD I own was bought at a local dollar store for $1 each. I think I’ve only gone to see maybe 3 movies in the last 5 years, one of which was using a gift certificate that I was given as a birthday gift.

U.S. spend those money for one week in Iraq.
