Kinda agree with you Daws, but it's a simplistic view. Not wrong, but...

Once they no longer got a "cut" from people sharing stuff they suddenly remembered it was after all an illegal activity and got on their moral high horse, fking corporate hypocrites .

LOL Classic

A video you recroded from tv which had actually not brought the rights. Not from some spotty pikey fat f*ck in his moms basement stealing these things for free.

there is a difference, it's naieve to think there isn't.

You guys are to blame for Twilight films and Transformers 3... live with it

Mate, if back then I bought some Albums plus some Sony blank cassettes, went home and recorded the albums onto the cassettes to maybe play on my walkman, although I'd paid for the albums and the cassettes I was still technically breaking the law and Sony like the pimps they are were more than happy to sell me the tools to accomplish this crime.

It was only after the advances in technology that made blank music and video cassettes redundant did Sony suddenly develop a conscience.

btw What are Twilight films ? I assume you've seen them but this particular pikey hasn't, what am I missing ?

Its hard to feel guilty about downloading pirated stuff when the companies who are complaining about it are the very hypocrites who are trying to fleece us.

How many times has a film been released that is ok, not great, not rubbish but ok. And you have wasted say about £20 on the dvd. Then after a couple of months that same film is released again but the Directors Cut AND its a bit cheaper. I bet this has happened to a lot of people who simply got fed up with it.

The reason piracy exists is because companies were taking the p!ss out of the customers with the constant fleecing.

The same with consoles and why people get them chipped. Companies really take the p!ss on them. Buy this game for £40, oh then get stuff what was going to be included but we decided to sell it as DLC instead. Oh and when you think we are done we are going to add a couple of maps that took all of 5 mins to produce and sell you that as well. Done yet ? Does level 5 to level 7 not make sense? of course it doesn't we took a level out and decided to sell that as DLC as well.

Its really hard to sympathise with the big boys isnt it?

lol,so wrong daws.
they make $*i*e like transformers and twilight because thats what people want.
why else would they spend the riduculous amounts of money it takes to make them if they werent making a profit?.its simple no profit = no sequel.
people watch that muck because hollywood forces it down their throats in shiny effects and almighty explosions.
personally i wouldnt insult my bandwidth with either of those movies and if idiots didnt queue up to pay to watch them then they wouldnt bother making them in the first place.

But, the companies are only diong this as it is guarunteed money as they will not make as many risks as everything is pirated and no profit is made like it used to. Look at a film that is downloaded a million times, that is a lot of money out of the coffers so now we get the same old bullsh!t most of the time instead of classics we have to look abroad for

the closing down of torrent and file sharing sites is a much bigger issue than the piracy thing that people focus on. these sites were original set up by open-source software developers and coders who wanted easy ways to share and distribute their files. the fact that torrents lend themselves to easily and rapidly handling large files made them attractive to pirateers of music and film.

if these sites all get closed down sulking about not having free movies anymore is a waste of time, what we should be more concerned about is losing an open internet, and precedents being set for much tighter controls about how we use it.
