I know the right way to reduce piracy.

1. Digitalise and distribute every movie Hollywood’s made
2. Sell the media/movies for less than it costs to buy a Blu Ray disc
3. Have daily/weekly/seasonal sales on movies
4. No DRM: Allow users to download their purchased media (various formats) to their home hard-drives
5. Allow special features that are included on Blu Ray version
6. Include box art and other included art in HQ jpg formats
7. Create applications for various devices: PC, Smartphones, Home Theater Devices, Game Consoles, etc to play back media
8. Allow users to gift media/movies to friends
9. Integrate with all major social media networks and show a news feed of purchases (depending on preferences)
10. Buying media/movies means you always own it, even if you switch computers or devices
11. Give users access to new movies before they hit store shelves
12. Make it easy for users to burn purchased media/movies to Blu ray/DVD
13. Make building a library of media/movies satisfying
14. Sell collections (i.e. Westerns, SciFi, Romance)

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Hollywood.

The Steam model is working in the game industry so why couldn't it work in the movie/TV/music industries?

 

Could i still get gay porn?

 

**** paying says Captain pugwash

Piratebay is the way forward

 

**** me, Sam, you get more boring by the minute

 

I refuse to buy music as it ends up going to the musician and eventually up their nose.

If more people pirated Whitneys material she would still be alive today.

So anyone who ever bought a Whitney Houston album (looking at you Sam) YOU killed Whitney!

Hang your head in shame

 

Surely the easiest way to reduce piracy is to have soldiers / marines on all vessels and to burn every boat in Somalia and other countries where the pirates come from.

 

I never liked her music so I never bought or downloaded it so that's not my fault.

I buy all my music from Amazon MP3 store and most of those artists are still alive

 

Ban humming too...........

 

I buy all my music because I have morals and money.

Why would I steal from my favourite artists?

If Pete Doherty wants to spend all his money on getting smashed out his head then good on him.
Sure beats spending your life on an Internet forum.

 

whats the best one to use then?

 

I use video2mp3.net to convert songs from YouTube, as they always use iTunes' music anyway

Why would I pay for it?

 

Because deep down, beneath your cold, twattish exterior, you are a good person?

 

So using a file converter makes me a bad person?

And leave my twattish exterior alone.

 

Look pal.

Someone has put a lot of time and effort into making music.

The least you can do is spare 79p.

79p! Are you telling me you can't afford 79p?

 

I wish i was Gary Doherty....

 

well said

 

The m&ms ****s......

 

I download any new album, illegally i might add, if i like it enough i'll buy it, simple.
Brought too many albums in the past with the promises that it will be the best thing since sliced bread, only to think what a load of ****e.
Have over 1600 of the ****ers.

 

Yozz My sentiments exactly, try before you buy policy.

Aside from that I get pissed off with folk slagging off Pirates.
