this is probably obvious, but i'm a 'filthy pirate'.
here is an example of why;
I am a Formula1 fan, and I live in a country that doesn't even televise, retransmit, PPV offering, direct from SKY (Murdoch owned) or BBC, unless I live in a country that has paid for the rights to reproduce/broadcast/stream,.. u know, at this point I really don't care. I want to watch the race. I will PAY to watch the fscking race, ok!, so, where is it?
1. google
2. ???
3. fail
the only place to get a pristine 720p video file of the race, the day AFTER* the race was #usenet. There was also P1, P2, P3 and qualifying, all of I did not even realize was available. There are no such things on formula1.com.
I am your perfect client.
1. A 'Steam-like' interface for accessibility and one point payment, Steam being the distribution point, authentication, bla..
2. Every movie ever made, digitized and included in the library of selections. One, to preserve your precious Imaginary Property and to actually retain physical copies of all content created.
3. ala carte. I want what I want, not what you offer. I am not interested in 500 channels of sh*t to choose from. Granularize your crappy business model offerings.
4. if you treat me no less than a paying customer, all bets are off.
I guess I should elaborate..., see, darknets (private file sharing networks) have been around since 1997. starting with hotline ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications ), #irc, #usenet, KDX, FTP, and something called First Class ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FirstClass ). FC allows for 'gates' to connect each end point to each other, automatically syncronizing anything new posted to forums that are shared via these gates. in the instance i mention, i have access to ,SG (super gate) that connects over 200 endpoints, probably more than that, but that is a conservative number at best. many of the end points are on blistering fast pipes ( 100mb/100mb in France is ~ $50EU ), so if only 100Gb/day has been transferred since 1997, that's 5 yottabytes already..
the genie isn't just out of the bottle, it's more like Parallax is in a different galaxy..
In my own little corner of the file sharing world, I see over 2 petabytes of infringing content transferred daily. does the MAFIAA really think they can put a dent in that?
Keep the laws coming, until you shut down the Internet, this number is only going to increase.
if your goal is to 'limit the availability of infringing (FTFY) product to the casual user', as in create a smaller percentage of infringing sources compared to legitimate product, then the solution to your dilemma is simple.
First, you create more legitimate sources, and instead of bribing politicians for new laws, why not use that money to build a site that allows end users to access every movie/tv series/documentary available for $1.00USD/ea. It doesn't have to be fancy, just look at TPB, it's pretty straight forward, search, download, watch.
And if all these infringing sources are making millions off of the advertising, then why not jump on that bandwagon by placing ads on the site you build, AND charge $1.00USD/movie. Think of the billions you would make!
Is it my imagination, or does the MAFIAA trolls lurk to be the first posting for every article attempting to debunk reality with posts like this one?
chubby, pirate, theft and so forth? apparently the mindset of copywrong asshats is that of 'if your not for us, your a paedophile'.
every time I read one of these mindless dribbles, I mentally read them in Cartman's voice from South Park, with everything ending with respect my authority!
'I do find it difficult to understand why running AdBlock or the like is not frowned upon by otherwise honest people. It’s somehow acceptable to write and use Web2.0 services, yet block the very ads that pay for them. If you run an ad-blocker (on your standard, unmetered, broadband connection) it would seem to me that you’re no different to a petty thief.'
when you put more ads on your website than you do content... put down the mouse, and back away from the computer.
forcing me to pay for bandwidth to load your stupid full page ads is extortion, which is worse than theft.
I want a tax of blank media!
I want a broadcast flag on every DVD player!
I want the government to enforce my copyright!
I want ISPs to enforce my copyright!
I want automated internet take down tools!
I want radio to pay royalties!
I want free SEO!
if we give the MAFIAA a pony, would they please stop demanding that every other industry pay for their crybaby antics?
'It gives the future felon a chance to change their ways, and avoid any true legal implications.'
I see what you did there, trying to raise the FUD bar. Insinuating that multiple petty infringements on copyright will at some point to lead to facing felony charges.
the same law(s) that has been incessantly perverted by the MAFIAA for over 100 years?
how can you possibly justify such abuses of the system for imaginary 'profit losses'? we are not talking about tangible, verifiable losses of potential sales here, yet you are. I could have potentially made 100k more last year, if I had done 'x'. with your train of reasoning, there should be a law created to ensure I get 100k regardless if I do x or not.
regurgitating in perpetuity the same mind numbing garbage is a business model issue directly related to imaginary profit losses, not file sharing, or copyright infringement.
technology gave you the player piano, VCR, radio waves, the reel to reel, 8-track, cassette, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray and the internet. we already built the most effective distribution system known to exist in the form of bittorrent, use it, fix your business model and stop already with the 'I want a pony!' bullshit.
imaginary profit losses from copyright infringement does not give the MAFIAA any cause to infringe on my civil liberties, ever.
you woke the beast with SOPA/PIPA overreach, odds are that your education campaign about copyright just got a much bigger audience, however, I think it was not the outcome you were expecting..
if someone doesn't pay their taxes, they are pirates? where does it end with your retards? do you have any idea how irrelevant you and your handlers are today? any at all?
but, but, but [insert hot buzzword here]!!
the internet has allowed millions of people to wake up, and cast off the shroud of FUD the **AAs have been puking up for decades. welcome to OUR new world order.
I see what your doing here a = b, and b = c, therefore a must = c.
The word artist is not part of either the RIAA, or the MPAA acronymn and therefore do not compete with the RIAA or TuneCore, and if their competitors are for SOPA, therefore they must be anti-SOPA, therefore all artists are theives. Wait that's not right..
It's either with them or against them, until you dissect one of their failure points, then your Google, or an internet mindless mob. Wait that's not right..
I think the brainset at the *AA's is so bottom shelf, they can only speak using the two point system for argument; for/against or pirate/artist
'bring up valid imperfection in their gem SOPA' = theiving pirate
'bring up genuine dislike for the provisions of SOPA in detail' = Google
'just don't like SOPA' = mindless internet mob.
'likes SOPA' = artist devastated by piracy
and any combination of the for/against pirate/artist outside of the above, they just ignore, they don't have talking points for artists whom are against SOPA, and/or file-share.
