Is piracy bad? Yes. Can it be stopped? No. Pay-per-view worked well 20 years ago, there was no internet, VHS quality sucked, and it was a great outlet to get a movie or event on demand. Great business model. Now that everything is available on a number of outlets, pay per view purchases are tanking. Is it the customer's fault for wanting a better and cheaper method of viewing, when everything else is better and cheaper now, or is it the provider's fault for only offering the match on an outdated, expensive platform? |

anyways that’s the world we live in. To me it is hard to make an argument that copying is stealing? If I did not copy it then who is to say I would spend the money to get it in the first place? At least if it was something that I like I could spread it through word of mouth and someone else might pay for it. |

So far the excuses for theft seem to be, "some things are overpriced," "some movies are dumb," "crime happens, so we are collectively unable to think for ourselves," and "hey, I am doing them a favor by pirating! It is publicity!" This thread is making my day! :applaud: |
