no it is not m8!! i agree with u bout piracy being wrong etc.. developers not developing anymore etc... but it is not any where close to armed robbery!! serious think bout what u just said!!
if i walk into dixons and twoc a tv. worth 500 squids that is the same as skankin a DAW of the net!! there is a huge difference when a weapon is used... taking a weapon means u have gone thru certain thought processes meaning u are prepared to cause injury with said weapon... ie.. its pre-meditated..[/quote]

Reading this thread was the most worthless 20 minutes.
But really entertaining.

Hello, its my turn to "hump the doorknob."
First of all when the major record labels stop charging £15+ for new cd releases etc, we can do buisness again. I have no problem stealing off those greedy bastards.
Software, there is no way on gods green earth that i am suppressing my creativity because i can't aford the excessive prices of software. I am poor, if i wasn't i'd buy it. Why should i stop producing untill i save up a couple of grand which goes in to some rich arse holes pocket?
Lastly, i always buy cds records etc of small labels, i never rip off those who work hard to produce innovative fresh music. I would think most people are of a similar opinion of myself???
Support those who need/deserve it. I refuse to reward the greed of big buisness with my hard earned money.
Peace.

YES! It's illegal, but it's not stealing.
copyright infringement = intellectual property theft

It's a tricky topic cos personally, I couldn't care less about ripping off giant super labels who control their "artists". Would you want to pay £15 for an album?
I wouldn't call anyone who did it a criminal, much as I wouldn't call anyone who parks illegally a criminal. Everybody's broken the law... except maybe nuns.
TBH, I wouldn't even know about dubstep if i hadn't downloaded a couple of tunes.
Would it be wrong if you downloaded a song to sample a bit from it?

if i cant afford to buy something/something is sold out/its not released on vinyl/ i just want to hear it before buying, not a clip, i want to actully listern to the track a few times and see if there's depth to it ill download it. people getting bent out of shape about mp3 sharing are tossers, most people will buy a record if they like the mp3...its just tape swapping for a new generation.
also mp3's are killing the music indusrty which is brilliant, it may leave us diy kids out of pocket for a bit but aslong as you cover costs, and make abit for new equipment and next release, and touring then everythings cool. it migth not mean you can make mega $$$ but it will ultimately make the whole music scene better in the long run
as for the guy who said he'll report someone for sharing mp3's...dude i give up....this country.

Tis a good point.... maybe artists should release more copies of popular tracks. I hate haing to wait til i get paid only to find "Out of stock" on redeye and Juno etc.
