Guy In Iran:
*tries to download our western porn...*
*Picture loads really slow*
"Screw this"
*pulls out the paper with the 900 number*
*Calls, and hears a voice "sorry but the number u tried to call is in the west, please try again" *
"Mutters n Curses"
*Checks mail for playboy and finds mail saying western mail was filtered*
*Now guy wants go out n shoot someone for some*
They are always going to fight a losing battle. Think about it, "p2p is negative, it's bad, and we will sue you for it. We will make tremble"
Ever think of the small bands and not known bands that get contracts, cds, money, fans from p2p. There are many stories and bands shouldn't make all their money from cds anyways. People need to learn music is art, and real art is meant to be expressed and SHARED! Charge for a cd is fine, but 20-40 bucks for a cd that costs a few cents. Not to mention on top of that one song is good on it, and the rest are fillers, so they can have a new cd. Bands should make their money from concerts and merchandise and a little from cds.
Instead of these bands going "well we got 300,000 new fans from p2p and now have sold out concerts. But our cd sales are down by 1 mil. Let's sue those p2p bastards, for sharing our music." I understand people that sell the music, but just for downloading it, is the dumbest thing. We have all downloaded new bands we never heard of and became fans.
Just because the big boys want a 4th bmw, and 8th house, isn't a reason to take money from fans, that aren't rich.
"Yes let's punish them, they didn't buy our 20 dollar cd, but they did go to 3 of our concerts at 40 bucks and wear merchandise they bought from us"
Greed runs the world, and along side it destroys anything enjoyable. I can go over forever but there is my 5 cents.
