Copyright theft

[powelly]

Following on from the thread about stolen goods, I thought I'd as the question copyright theft or piracy.

So is all your software bought and paid for?

Have you never download a movie or tv program?

Have all your mp3's been paid for?

Do you own or have you licenced the image you use for your avatar?

To fit in with the other poll there are no grey areas in the poll, a simple yes or no. So if you answer yes to all these questions vote yes, if you answere no, vote no.

Yes it's all legit the XP came with my laptop, I can't afford M$ so I use opensource products such as OpenOffice. I only own 10 DVDs and they were all gifts, I don't like downloaded music so I buy CDs cheap off Amazon and rip them for use on my media player. I also copy my CDs for use in my car, as if they get nicked I've lost nothing and the "master" copy as it were stays in mint condition if I need to rip/copy again.

Sore point with me, this subject.
Most of my music, is from bought CDs, and some are paid for downloads, mostly from HMV.
The rest is from Limewire, and the simple reason is thus.
I am more than prepared to pay for my music, but a lot of stuff I like, is not available from the legal sites for various reasons. So my message to the music industry is, if you want to sell it, make it fucking available for me to buy. If what I want is not available, then I'll get it free, and you get fuck-all.
One major example of this idiotic thinking from the music labels, is the Beatles music. STILL unavailable to download, and there are many more examples like it.
So until they pull their corporate fingers out, they should stop bleating on about P2P sites.

All my MP3s are from a Russian site, 9p a shot. Aw, those poor pop-stars, I'm inpoverishing them. Still, better that than paying over 70p a shot here in the UK, and having MP3s locked to one brand of player (get to fvck).

Two major apps I have (£400 jobbies) are cracked downloads. The XP on this PC is legit, but the one on my wife's is cracked. All the games on this PC are legit.

The world of software is an orchard through which we roam, scrumping as we please.

And my point was that you are inventing a fabricated problem.

I haven't seen anyone here demanding a pogrom against everyone buying knocked-off consoles - simply a couple of people saying that they wouldn't, and the odd person like me pointing out the flaws in their justifications for theft.

Still, don't let the truth get in the way of a good rant eh?
