Why mend, when you can spend. Why mend, when you can spend. Why mend, when you can spend. Why mend, when you can spend.
I am aghast that you guys want to reuse things, save resources, and such. Was there alcohol in all of your blood surrogate? Can't you see that you aren't being a contributing member of society with all of your unorthodox anti-consumerism. For Ford's sake, take a gram and spend. If you continue on with all this nonsense, you will all have to be extridited to Iceland where you will not be able to influence society.
also, in response to your "laugh test"(not in this case, but if they caught you downloading a ton of tracks without sharing them), there are many situations in which you could legally own a ton of damaged cd's and such. fire, kids, cd-eating player, bad breakup resulting in property damage, etc. could cause massive damage. Say you had 100 cd's damaged, would you want to rebuy every single one of them? I certainly wouldnt.
Also, the line is not very clear. Imagine you let a friend borrow your cd. He liked it so much he went out and bought one himself, however when he returned it, it was scratched. I don't think anyone would have a problem of accepting a backup copy from your friend. In fact, you brought more business to the artist and made a new fan. Certainly no one would punish you for making that copy. Now do this on the internet, and suddenly it is illegal. That is all my point is. Somewhere in there is a line you apparently arent supossed to cross, even though the outcome and intentions are the same. I guess that teh intarweb is the devil. Thats the only conclusion I can come up with.
right, but is it wrong to accept a free replacement for that book that you legally bought as opposed to rebuying it? How is it right that you can Tivo a show, but wrong to download it if your Tivo messed up? All the pirates are doing in that kind of case is providing a useful service for free that the RIAA is too greedy let happen. I understand there are many holes in this, but I am just trying to play devil's advocate for a minute.
yeah, I wasn't really talking about this case. these guys are screwed. I was just thinking about if someone was caught downloading a cd from BT or something. they can't see other stuff you are sharing, if you are even sharing anything at all. there entire case rests on that one download, how strong of an arguement would the backup arguement be?
if you bought vinyls now, i can see your point, but what if you have old collections before you knew it had limitations.
also, that does not address scratched/damaged media.
What if you own an album that is unplayable(scratched) or hard to convert(vinyl), then download it because you are unwilling to be extorted by paying several times for your content. It is easy to leech and not give back(although shunned upon). I also don't see how they can prove if you were sharing it. You may be listed as a peer, but have your upload turned off. Also, stuff like peerguardian will likely block most snoops ip's so you wouldnt be giving them any of it. The point being, if you already own the content, and if you arent contributing to piracy, would they be able to still convict you?
Time Fraud is a real thing. It isn't a joke. It's when you're paid to do one job but you do something else. Like when you hire a lawyer to work a case for you, and they are charging you hours while they are actually doing something else.
you mean like we are all doing right now at work? oh crap!
...that gives you STD's when you sleep with it, but also one of those friggin sadistic pricks who goes around poking people with infected needles. Just makes me sick. Boycott.

Thank God I quit that game. Dealing with people like you was giving me a headache. Down with WoW.
Don't call it that.
