Oncle Boris, YES SO? My point is still valid and the Ferrari argument is total BS. Copying is still not the same, even though if it would mean someone doesn't get paid. The analogue still fails.In da butt.

Colon, I would, but you forgot to tell me your income, job and company you work for. ANSWERS please! My time, precious.. no time.. for these games..
Oncle Boris, no it is not the same. It doesn't make it the same what the hell are you on?
THE SAME situation would be when Ferrari comes out with a new model, no one has seen it yet, it's got new features in it too maybe, and they put it on sale, then some folks go there, take a sneak peak and are able to make the exact copies of the original to themselves while not paying for it, and letting others do the same for themselves. THAT IS THE SAME SITUATION.In da butt.

That's the same, actually.
A better comparison would be a car dealership purchasing a Mclaren from the manufacturer to sell, but not being able to sell it.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

Oerdin yes yes... ps those are not the ONLY taxes, but then again you'd know guess it. Comparatively lower salaries, etc etc. The DOWNSIDES of this welfare state. It has its good sides too no doubt about it. But those are the bad sides.. Good for the lazy and unfortunate, bad for the dreaming people and who have passion and goals.. unfair, fair, who knows. I'd say very Christian though? I think it's OK, I think a world seriously needs few more places like ours is, but this is not jsut for me.. for most this is it, for me it isn't. Maybe I'll grow wiser in my years and decide to stay anyway.. who knows. I feel like seeing the world.. even if I won't make any more money, I still want to see the world more..In da butt.

If people could only get paid for material, obviously they wouldn't work as hard on IP.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.

Some kind in Norway liked her music and uploaded it on a few P2Pnetworks and the next thing you know anniemal caught on like wildfire. When I bought in last year it was still almost impossible to get and I had to order it online for the Norweigen distributor, but, there was finally a backlog of orders and the Norweigen record company decided to pony up with the money to make a video since sales had picked up so much. Annie started touring in the North America and Europe and finally she was awarded the best new artist in 2004 award. This is dispite the fact that she had no US distributor and hardly any radio stations had bothered to play her music other then a underground stations in places like NYC and SF.
She caught on because she had good music but no one would have heard of her without P2P file sharing.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
