I mean, they say this is stealing artists money, but in a capitalist society, why should they have massive profit margins? why are they bitching when their massive profits drop a little. Is there any good reason why we should allow musicians to have far more money then the majority of the population. People do harder jobs. It's undemocratic. text/html 2005-03-15T14:17:35-05:00 Think Tank http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39662/#254887 hehe ... i just cant help myself from not buying pirated as im only a student and i live in a country where the currency rate is 3.8 = 1 dollar also .. the average income is only 300 dollar. i cant buy original games as it would cost me 100 bucks of my currency and i obsolutely cant buy original windows .. as it would cost me 600 bucks of my currency.. text/html 2005-03-15T13:21:46-05:00 jmerc http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39662/#254865 I agree and refuse to buy bootleg movies on the street. I make better copies of the movies I buy than these street hawkers of poor quality DVD movies.<br /> <br /> Either way you slice it, it's wrong to sell pirated movies for profit.<br /> <br /> But the problem will always be there as it was when video tapes were the popular movie media.<br /> <br /> Jay<br /> text/html 2005-02-15T01:09:44-05:00 OCGW http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39662/#0 Random thought's by OCGW<br /> <br /> Poor quality &quot;bootlegs&quot; are the biggest &quot;blackeye&quot; in Piracy<br /> <br /> I have seen some &quot;p**s poor&quot; bootleg movies in the U.S. on the &quot;street&quot;<br /> <br /> People need to care about the quality of there bootlegs<br /> <br /> THAT's what gives bootlegs a bad name<br /> <br /> The U.S. authorities are concerned because bootleg products in China have been produced lately w/ higher quality than the &quot;REAL THING&quot;<br /> <br /> Sometimes the Chinese companies we pay pennies to produce our pruducts, keep producing them after the order is completed, &amp; the Chinese Government just looks the other way<br /> <br /> Damn, some people just won't let you use them, &amp; except it like they are supposed to<br /> <br /> Do I blame people for subsisting on the King's deer in the King's forest &amp; call them poachers?<br /> <br /> Naa, it's like the &quot;WAR on DRUGS&quot;, they created the market, now they have to deal w/ it<br /> <br /> OCGW<br /> <br /> PEACE<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
