Piracy Critic Admits to Huge Pirated Music Collection

That kid deserves a medal. You know you have crap parents when they don't man up to their mistakes.

words cannot describe how ironic this is

HA! I knew it, just goes to show you, digital piracy is deeply sewn into modern society. Even the ones who speak against it are not immune. It's a fact of life, you canoot stop it.

but you can sure as hell get suspended for even talking about it, this is why the Escapist Mods are a little too active in piracy threads in my opinion, you can't be discriminated against for any belief, accept free distribution, god forbid

Sounds like people should cut her some slack, probably didn't know her kid was doing it.
And as far as I'm concerned, unemployed, students and kids - the people with absolutely no money to spare, should be allowed to pirate. What are you going to do? sue them for their £4 a week pocket money?
Only when they have the means to pay, and they don't, is there a problem for me.

But pirating books, and pirating music are very different.
If you pirate music and like it, you're likely to go see a concert. Books don't have this. I justify the amount of music I pirate with the amount of money I spend on seeing those bands.
They may have lost me spending £8 on their album, but they've got me spending £15 on their concert, which I'd otherwise never have gone to.

EDIT: To quote from an amazing film: "Rotten kids... You work your life out." people should really cut their parents some slack.

Plus the band get all that concert cash instead of 65p from the album sale (if they have sold enough to pay back the advance, which is unlikely)

If a person says they are opposed to murder and later commits murder, has that now made murder ok?? No. Same with piracy. Hypocrisy does not make something right, it just shows the hypocrite to be a jerk............

 

[vesey]

a persons economic condition does not determine right or wrong..........theft is theft..when you justify piracy because you don't have the money to buy the music does that allow me to steal a car because i don't have the money to buy it ?? your logic is very twisted...........
