vista? Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 It's surprising how many children are downloading music onto they're PC's from P2P sites etc without giving it a second thought about whether its legal or not in my class. As for my site, I got a CSS template, and now I'm using that but I've done a "fair amount" of editing to it. (Although I do intend to give credit to the creator!! :wink: ) I'm also studying it so my CSS gets sharper if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.digennaro Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 well wat i think is funny, is if you look out on the internet you can find torrents etc to download anything you want. But once you download it its illegal. Quote Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you download it its illegal. I know someone who claims to have a photoshop cs3 extended keygen. He downloaded that and then downloaded a trial copy of ps from adobe's website and whilst installing he used the keygen and now he's got what seems like a legal copy of PS CS3 EXTENDED (although it is a "cracked" version).

k.digennaro Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 i personally feel that in a few years downloading music and movies, etc will be completely legal. The law is losing the war against music downloads. Musicians are making a lot less money because of it. I think in the near future musicians will go back to going on tour and playing live shows and focusing on shows to make money, the music will almost be like an advertisment.

Kreeos Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 It is NOT legal, and don't tell ANYONE that it is. Downloading movies/music is really only illegal in the USA. I know for a fact that in Canada that if you download for personal use (essentialy as long as you're not making money off of it) the police won't even bother looking into it or charging you with anything. Although technically "illegal" according to official records, nobody cares. Besides, the Federal Court of Canada made a ruling saying that peer-to-peer file transferring is legal. In summary, if you live in Canada feel free to download as much as you like because in all intents and purposes it is legal.

I just wanted to quash the idea. okay, thanks david. also, in this day and age bands/record comapines are making less off shows than cds, when you compare it to the past, 50 years ago there was no such thing as a cd, allow cds and records brought in revenue the shows were the big deal. today, atleast around where i live, its not quite the same, most people i know havent been to more than 2 concerts in ther entire lives. althought bands/record companies still probally make more from shows than cds, its not like it used to be.

Yup. Although from what I've noticed the US is the only country with a bug up its butt in this issue (not counting didcatorship countries).

BoltBait Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That's one view. Or, you could say that the US is the only country willing to protect the intellectual property rights of the individual creators of said property. I prefer the latter.

I prefer the latter. As do most Americans. Besides, I thought it was about the love of music and acting and not about the money? If you're making the music because you love people hearing your music, who cares if you lose some money here and there from piraters? Overall money lost from people who download is a drop in the bucket compared to what they make. And like it was stated before, the artists, the people who actually are the owners of the intellectual property, only make an incrediably small fraction on CD sales. People who download music hear a wider array of music and are more inclined to go see more concerts, which is how the bands make the majority of their money. In actuality though studies have shown that people who download music actually end up spending more on audio CD's than people who don't. What downloading lets you do is weed through the bloody potato to find the stuff you like. Open up your mind and allow other possibilities. Just because 1%-3% of all listeners are downloading music doesn't make it evil. In fact it's hardly noticable. Quote Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
