I think more of the fact they have no money to buy things that they are constantly told they need to buy.

heh heh...Yeah, I caught that, too. I've been trying to find a way to steal shit legally for years, but I still haven't figured out a way to do it yet.

I know....I'll become a lawyer & sue people for illegally downloading copyrighted content!!!

I agree, copyright infringement is not stealing, if I were to steal the Mona Lisa and burn it, that's it, no more Mona Lisa, if I download a COPY of someones music without their permission I am indeed guilty of infringement not theft, I do not understand why people keep on insisting it's theft, perhaps somebody should give them a (legal) copy of a dictionary. As to the music industry they are perhaps the worst of all when it comes to Artists, because they are guilty of cheating them out of their royalties all to frequently whilst pretending that they're protecting them

I think you've got me beat by 4-5 years. What machine did you start on, and what sorts of progs did you acquire? I had "acquired" most anything worth having for the C-64 either borrowing originals from people face-to-face in the town I lived, and on a couple BBS sites (I cannot exactly how the exchanges were made- gosh that was a looong time ago :D ) in a larger city where my step-dad lived.

One of the programs I remember most fondly was called GEOS. I found I enjoyed the copy process (which sometimes required manually changing bad blocks and sectors :01: ) more than I enjoyed most of the games. I do remember a flight simulator for the AH-64 Apache that kicked my imagination into another world very fondly, though. Good memories with such a long-obsolete computer system. :happy:

I guess we must have been too poor for a Commodore 64. I only ever recall having an Atari 2600, and I only ever remember playing E.T. on it.

"We should keep blocking them - they are stealing music illegally."

So, how do you steal music legally?

Oh yes, I forget that taxation is a legal form of theft.

Maybe we should tax the artists, then we can have their music without breaking the law.

As for using the word 'stealing', nothing has been stolen. A copy has been made, I agree, but the original works still remains with the author or publisher, and nothing has actually been stolen.

How many Mona Lisa prints are there around the world? The original still resides in the Louvre, but there are millions of prints. No one complains about this copying though.

Making a copy, or facsimile, of something has become commonplace these days. We record programs transmitted to our TVs using VHS, Recordable DVD or Hard Drives without penalty. Our conversations can be recorded when we dial into many businesses, and we can send copies of documents using a facsimile (fax) machine.

So, why not make copies of music? Is it because they want us to pay them for a copy? And why is the price so high. Surely the medium used for the copy is only a fraction of the price we are charged (50p a disk). Why is some music over £10 an album? Also, why is a digital download only slightly cheaper than the equivalent CD and case? I know CDs are cheap, but we have to factor in manufacturing and shipping, which all adds up to the cost (diesel, labour charges, administrative costs, cocaine allowances etc).

The simple fact is that music is way too expensive for what it is, which is nothing more than a sound recording. The reason these sound recordings are so expensive is that it has become a lucrative market selling names that many of us love.

I still cannot believe that every time they play a record on the radio, a royalty fee has to be paid to the publisher, regardless of the age of the recording.

The music industry has made a business model that earns them a perpetual income, and they are desperate to protect that income, even if it means creating laws that will push society back into the Dark Ages of feudalism.

This enslavement of the human race, for the benefits of the few, has to be stopped before RIAA invade any more countries. They have already conquered Iraq and Afghanistan. Who is next?

Technically speaking, you could steal a Mona Lisa print.

Stealing a technically stolen item, odd but true.

I think they've finished in a distant 50th.

Yeah, but when a Brit gets caught sharing files, he gets 150 hours community service and a £400 fine, whereas a Yank gets 5 years hard labour and a $750,000 fine, with interest added daily.

Where is the disparity in that?

We made hard labor illegal years ago. In fact, most of us find even moderately sweaty labor cruel. :fear:

I always thought being a moderator at FST was classed as hard labor. Ask KFlint or Detale.
