I'm not condoning piracy at all. However, as has already been said, it has been happening for years, in different forms, and I can't see it stopping anytime soon.
Also, with regards the movie industry, most of the pirate copies are pretty poor quality. I would much rather watch a film I really want to see on the big screen, where I can get full enjoyment out of it (ie Attack of the Clones). w -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 May 2002 14:47 To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Episode II > Firstly, the entertainment industry will never change their > approach to the > web unless they feel that there is a genuine threat.

Also, you _must_ remember that threats do not always make businesses do the right thing. Maybe the industry will respond by upping the cost of a movie ticket to 30 bucks. > Secondly, I find a fair amount of music online that is > unavailable anywhere > else (old vinyl that is out of print for example). Anything I > can buy, I > generally will, music wise. This is something else I have a problem with. It's one more example of what the industry is being stupid. There are _numerous_ albums that are old, or were not so popular. In digital form, it would be childs play to sell these guys online. However, this too falls under the category of "The industry should" do it - not "The industry should do it, so I'm going to steal it until they do." My 2.1 cents. -rc ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
