"Cutting prices is the only way to stop piracy"

[Hoplite]

The only way to stop piracy is to cut prices. That's the vedict of a major new academic study that reckons copyright theft won't be halted by 'three strikes' broadband disconnections, increasing censorship or draconian new laws brought in under the anti-counterfeiting treaty ACTA.

I've got a stack of burned CD's that says this will buried or denounced by the RIAA and similar groups.

I'll still probably pirate anyway.

[Black Sheep]

Abolishing the market system is the only way to stop piracy.

( i ll make sure of that:p )

[Obs]

Why pay anything for something I can get for free?

[Scary Monster]

Its not like musicians will benefit more from anti-piracy laws anyway. They will continue to get fucked over by record companies no matter how well the company is doin.

First, the prices of music songs and videos have generally been inflated second cheaper doesn't necessarily offset piracy. Hmm, if I have the opportunity to boycott capitalism and still get the goodies I will :laugh:.

Piracy shows that capitalism is no longer efficient. Remember people WWAYD (What would Ayn Rand Do). Anyone who lives in capitalism knows that rational self-interest guides everything good and that thinking about myself only is the moral thing to do. So Ayn what is in my self-interest. To not pay for these things will give me extra cash which I can use to pay for food/heating/etc... without going into debt.


Or I could pay for them. But then I would be an altruist. And altruism is evil :unsure:. So I ask you all to be a bit like Ayn, the most wonderful and moral person out there.

Moral issues aside when you buy a dvd the Anti-Piracy clips are longer than the actual movie!

Play the dvd on your PC usually you can put those damned clips to the last 3 seconds and get to the movie faster.

Oh? In which case, I'll be a good comrade! *pirates more music*
Actually I buy them for like 10 cents from Russian sites that are probably illegal but my mom doesn't want me to get them for free... so whatever. The RIAA is such a joke.
