masterplum 04/30/12 12:09:00 PM #23:	I should probably state how I feel about this in more detail, after reading Chris's comment. I used to pirate movies and music pretty regularly, but after I came home from Ghana after two years I decided it probably wasn't the best thing to do. I only pirate for good now, meaning that I pirate material that I would not pay money for otherwise and is being used for a productive purpose. Coincidentally I am currently downloading some lectures on Forex trading which I am going to watch to try to help me learn how to day-trade. If I were to not have this available I would go to the library and check out some books about it instead, so this just saves me time and costs the producer nothing. On occasions where I find I would in fact have purchased the material. I delete the files and I proceed to purchase it. You could argue about the ethics of my actions, but I think that they are perfectly reasonable in both a utilitarian and Kantian sense. So I think there is merit in the pirate bay. I think if everyone were to pirate like I do then the world would be better off, but I know that isn't what people do. Hence why I am kind of Meh, about this. -- yE frE me Kweku Ananse Papa me:http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/1508/masterplumgm3.jpg <cite>masterplum posted [p:1092251] in UK possibl...

Paratroopa1 04/30/12 2:27:00 PM #41:	Speaking as an amateur musician aspiring to be a professional musician, I think that artists should be compensated for their works, whether that be music or something else. However, I believe that the exchange of ideas and information should be a relatively free process, and draconian copyright laws only do damage to art and don't help anyone but the executives at the very top of the chain who I have less than zero respect for. Groups like the MPAA and RIAA are several orders of magnitude more loathsome than someone who downloads a few movies off of the internet. So I don't see pirating as good or bad. There's more than one way to view this ethically. People pirating stuff has plenty of positive and negative effects. But nobody likes to pursue reasonable conversation on this topic, everyone either wants to fall into the "I'm entitled to never pay for anything" crowd or the crowd that believes the first crowd should be thrown in jail for even daring to download a song and both groups can f* right off. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:1092269] in UK possibl...

LordoftheMorons 04/30/12 2:33:00 PM #44:	*Xuxon posted...* am i the only one who thought Westbrick's post was sarcasm? I'm pretty sure it was. Anyway I guess I don't have a huge problem with this, but it does make me a bit uneasy in that it probably sets a sort of precedent. If they start taking down sites with legitimate uses just because what they do enables piracy, I'm going to have a problem with that. As someone mentioned earlier, though, this is preferable to something like SOPA. -- No I'm not a damn furry.
