Are you invested in this application, movie, song, game? No…

I have an ant and uncle that love to collect DVD’s but will not make a copy of a DVD they rent because apparently that is against the law. What they will do is wait until they movie they want comes on HBO or something, and make a DVD from that. I’m like dude your paying more to rent the DVD in the first place, you think someone is going to kick down your door shouting “we here you have illegal copies of DVD in this house!”

My family has been getting into UFC fights lately. They were paying that $55 to watch the paper view live every month. I was like just give me one day after the fight and I will have the HD version downloaded and playing on my 60” TV. They were like “you can do that?”

I agree.  If we would all band together and stop paying for this stuff then those creative folks would stop making content.  What a better world we would be creating.

No, they would just get a better business model than charging $55 a month to watch UFC.

Sounds like his family was willing and able to spend $55 on UFC until they were told they could download it for free.

So, will you buy or steal the book I wrote? That's a rhetorical question, I really don't want the answer, but your stance is not a victimless crime. If someone pirates instead of buying my book, there's a dollar I don't get. One dollar. That's what I get... or not. It's a good thing I'm not trying to make a living off of it.

My second book is being pirated worse than the first was. I will not likely write a third edition. Too much work and not enough incentive for me to do so.

By the way, proceeds from the book help pay for this website.

Maybe one day will live in a world were movies like X-Men: First Class are no longer made. I will do my part every day until that world comes about.  :soapbox:

Unless paper view is actually one of those roll up LCD screen things like newspaper? Maybe $55 is good for that, I'm not sure. LOL
