lukusW, I know where you're coming from.. but you're trying to legitimize piracy.. which is an oxymoron.
ukit.. Exactly..
This whole piracy parade has nothing to do with the money being lost.. it is companies trying to control the means of production and distribution, so they can further build their business on-top of it.
They tried and died with their first attempt. Digital Rights Management.
DRM is like making each CD player a different shape so that you had to buy a specific shape disc for each player you own. It's fucking stupid.Everyone now has the means of production.
Basically, you might as well go back and sue whoever invented the concept of a "file" and a "copy/paste".
DYK, On a CD, the information needs to be read and buffered in order for the DAC to turn it into a waveform. A copy, in part, must be made even to playback? An mp3 that is sold, still needs to get copied to memory in order to be played.
If the playback mediums themselves inherently make copies.. then how is the end consumer not allowed to make copies?
The difference is.. they control it.
