filesharing

[joebloggs]

about the companies you mentioned struggling - is it because of recession or because of file sharing, pr8t dvds fund world terrorism,crime and drug cartels

easy to blame file sharing for everything, Nintendo are doing good because of the add ons they did for the wii. xbox and ps3 are more powerful, and i think dearer than wii or was, and it was in the shops, so it sold.

have you ever photocopied anything you didn't have the copywriter holders permission ? have you ever taped anything off the radio or tv ?


piracy also creates jobs, for the isp's dvd manufacturers etc..

drop the prices and people will buy ... sell cheap, you'll sell more, and make more..

if films that were on at the pics for a few weeks, then a couple of months later they were released on dvd for say £5, how many more would they sell ?

there will always be piracy, but if they made products that were affordable, then many more would buy them,,

Joe i always check what im allowed to copy, and you are allowed to tape of radio and tv for your own use

The companies i was told about are definetly suffering from the fact people rarely now pay for the products, he wasn't trying to convince me or spin me. just telling me the facts as he was talking mainly about a lot of the indie companies which are either almost dead or long gone. About mates we both had who are now out of the industry.

I know people will always copy this or that. But the problem is now no one wants to pay at all. The general attitude is why pay for it i will just take it.
How can you argue about kids stealing your ipod if all the music/videos is stolen on it?
Problem is that attiutude has moved into other areas on a scale i have never known in my short life.

I just feels it was something which did what you said which has now turned into a monster and the implications go further than companies losing products.

Just joking below

So joe would you say Knife and gun crime is good as it reduces the population very green, means less people chasing jobs. More guns and knifes sold which is good for industry and the resellers. Also good for the medical supply industy and undertakers. Also means we have more police and medics whose wages will trickle in the ecomony.

In fact more murders could be a way of boosting the ecomony in these tough times

Same with burlgary locksmiths,security, glass repair, alarm companies the list goes on

I may write to gordon
