A decent solution to piracy would be a la carte bandwidth. If someone has to pay an extra 50 bucks (or more)per month because they need to download more than the average person, then you'll see a huge drop in piracy.

Remember the rich are rich because they have taken more than they should from the majority, or have just stolen it .

Like Facebook, takes everyones data and sells it. Is it really theirs to take?

Rochard 02-12-2012 10:58 AM

So you think that paying $10 to see a movie is too much to ask for.

I gave this some thought while I was on working on this beautiful Sunday morning. Let's take the first Sherlock Holmes movie in 2009 - Grossed Five Hundred and Twenty-three dollars to date. That's a lot and even more so when you figure it only costs them one hundred million to make. But you need to look at the bigger picture. That movie was made by Silver Pictures, which makes a film or two a year. That same year they also made another movie that was a complete loss. Then factor in the amount of money they spend on advertising, which isn't included in the cost of production. Sherlock Holmes made them a lot of money, but but other movies were made at a loss.

Then factor in that half the money made was shared with another production company.

And when you spend $10 for a movie, not all of that money goes to the production company. Your paying for the theater itself, it's staff, it's insurance, it's advertising, etc etc etc etc.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

Yes, they think stealing entertainment of all things, is a basic human right... and trying to make it sound as if "the man" is charging 100.00 for a 1/4 cup of baby formula and there are no other options or choices but to pay or the baby dies.

helterskelter808 02-12-2012 12:15 PM

How about $100 for a cinema ticket? If you think that is greed, then the only difference between you and them is that you differ on the number. If the ticket was $5 who's to say ten times as many people would watch? Also, it assumes everything is equal. You might not mind paying $10 for a good movie, but unfortunately most movies are complete shit. That's theft, ripping people off with an overpriced, substandard product.

Plus I'm pretty sure cinemas make their money on the overpriced popcorn and coke. Shit even Murdoch complained about it.

Why did you see fit to invoke my name in this thread, lol? I never bitch in this forum because I am quite satisfied with my work, lifestyle, money and business relationships. And frankly there is no one like me participating here. I took a job originally only paying $350 per week to get myself into the business twenty years ago back in the VHS days because I wanted to get an opportunity to shoot what I love- new young teen girls. I enjoy finding them, picking their clothes and settings out, trying to get them to have a real orgasm on camera and sometimes even getting them to squirt for the first time among other firsts. And now all these years later I am busier than ever doing that and similar types of production for clients all over the world where my work is seen and enjoyed by millions of people every week.

Here's a clue: ALL societies run on GREED. Capitalism is an economic system that turns this TRUTH into an engine that benefits a wider group of people than other systems. It's not perfect but the alternatives suck.




Redrob 02-12-2012 03:48 PM

Greed is when you don't give back to your co-workers, industry, community, etc.

Whether you are an individual or a corporation, the source of greed is not how much money you make after expenses; but, what you do with the extra after all your needs are met.

God! these people are either stupid or misinformed....

The Fords and the other capitalists did not give workers good wages, Trade Unions and workers working together for the benefit of all fought for living wages.

The working class and left wing parties fought tooth and nail for a health Service for all in the UK, the opposite to greed.

During the Cold War when the capitalist class shit its pants in fear of communism, there was free education, free dentistry, unemployment pay, in lots of the West etc etc, showing that Soviet Communism benefited the Western working class.

Communist countries did everything western capitalist countries did but without a class of the super rich.

Now after 20 years of casino neo liberal capitalism the greed is an embarrassment to all,

6000 people own more than $1,000,000,000 each, they own more than whole peoples, its often based on economic technological accidents, like who invents a piece of simple software first. or land stolen hundreds of years ago , or whole industries

With this wealth they buy the politics, the culture and the soul of whole nations.

With whole countries and communities dying from lack of jobs or water or peace it is time to end this system of greed.

Its not theft because you don't need to watch the movie. You are not being forced to pay for it. There is no gun to your head. A movie is not a human right or some requirement to live. Its just entertainment.

A lot of things are overpriced. The solution is not to steal them. The solution is to not buy them.

It's totally unreal that people think they have some basic entitlement to entertainment and if its not made available on terms they personally find agreeable - then they are ok to steal it.

Who says being able to live a rich, uplifting, enjoyable life is not a human right? What is a human right then? To enjoy or experience nothing unless you are rich enough to pay for it?

Billion dollar corporations are quick to complain about people stealing their shit; they're a lot less interested in addressing the root cause of theft, which is poverty, inequality and the fact that so much money is in their hands, at the expense of 'the masses'.

Quote:

How does not buying help either the person who doesn't buy or the company they didn't buy from?

The solution is to make higher quality products and not overprice them. One definition of greed is knocking out cheaply produced junk at inflated prices. There is no 'human right' to go around ripping people off, just because people are required to spend their money before they know it's even worth it.

Okay explain why it's acceptable for people to be denied 'art' or entertainment (movies, books, music, TV, or games) just because, for whatever reason, they are unable to afford it. Why do only rich people have the 'human right' to enjoy life?

You are not denied anything. You are 100% free to pay $9.00 for a movie ticket to watch a 3d IMAX movie with your favorite stars that cost $200,000,000.00+ USD to produce. Not a bad deal. You just feel you should be able to steal it if you want to.

You are also free to not watch movies at all.

You are free to rent that same movie a couple months later on DVD from Redbox for $1.00 per night.

You are free to watch TV for free.

You are free to pay for Cable and have 100s of channels to watch, 24hrs a day.

Your real issue is that you simply want everything on your terms and hate the fact that life doesn't happen on your terms. When you grow up, you'll finally start to get it.

Why am i denied the opportunity to own and drive a new Bugatti Veyron? I might just have to get on your bandwagon and steal one because i'm on board with your sense of entitlement. Why should i be denied the experience of driving a $1,000,000.00 vehicle even if i didn't earn the right?

Because that is stealing, not copying. Come back when you know the difference.

As for having to 'earn the right' to watch movies or listen to music... :Oh crap

TheSquealer 02-12-2012 09:39 PM

The conversation began about theft... you twisted it into something else playing semantics.

However, copyright infringement is illegal. "Illegal" since you're so thick, means "you do not have that right"

And... i'm not losing sleep over anything. I personally don't care if you download movies. I do it all the time. however, i'm not so retarded that I argue that i'm entitled to do so, make absurd comparisons to human rights, argue that its not illegal or argue that its my right to do so. I do it... and I know i'm wrong for doing it. I know its illegal. I'm not such a weak person that I would deny those simple facts as most seem to do.

The argument is about "right" or "wrong", "Legal" and "illegal". It's wrong. It's illegal. End of story. The law tells you its wrong and that you have no such right. In fact, every developed nation the world agrees with that simple point and with the need to protect intellectual property and its creators as one of the many fundamental mechanisms which drive an economy.

So why do you promote ripping people off? You don't know if anything is worth it until you buy it. Why are electronic goods any different? The economy is not typically based on "try it before you buy it"... You buy the good or service and then you decide if it was worth it to you, and then you take it up with the merchant if the product did not live up to expectations.

Orange juice ain't fresh? Return it. Store's policy is posted clearly prior to purchase being made. Everything is agreed upon. VISA provides buyer protection, too.

Just because you don't know how this particular orange juice tastes does NOT give you the right to consume it without paying for it.

So it's illegal. BFD. Sodomy was illegal in some places a decade ago; still is in many, if not most, parts of the world. Does that make it wrong?

"Legal" is fact. "Wrong" is an opinion or feeling. And - I repeat, to see if it sinks in - if you genuinely think something is wrong, you simply do not do it.

The fact that you do it demonstrates that you think there is nothing wrong with it, so stop pretending otherwise.

There is not a simple answer to this, some people are forced to work, work or eat, Some people have jobs they enjoy and pays them well.

Most people work together to make things, on farms, down mines, in factories or even on forums sharing ideas etc. Industrial societies are cooperative efforts that produce goods with less and less labour power. People who work like this see the advantage of working together and having reasonable demands as to rewards for their work. Trade Unions ask for a living wage, good housing, overtime payments, good health care and schools.

The don't demand a million dolar bonus for each worker.

A special group of people, think they are different, born to rule, and to consume as much as possible, while children die due to lack of clean water.

The task to create a society without the greedy for the needy.

You have never read any Marx. Marx lived in poverty most of his life.

The communist countries played by different rules....

They aimed to feed, clothe and house everybody. They gave everybody access to health care and schools. I provided jobs for everyone. These societies were some of the poorest and least developed but if you compare them to equivalent capitalist countries you can see better.
Compare Communist Cuba with Dominican Republic or Haiti
Communist Poland with Brazil


Capitalism is only interested in people with money. If you have no money you are free to die.

I'm not forced to do anything, actually. I work to satisfy myself. And I demand a million dollar salary, because that's what I choose to pay myself.

Are you going to tell me I'm not worthy of reaping the reward for working that hard?

And if not, how much less hard should I be working?

I'll be awaiting your reply. I want to know how much less hard I need to be working to achieve the goals you have for me.

Wanting to sell something you create at a price you think it is worth, is not greed. It is being paid for your work. Or if you want to just give it away, it's the choice of the creator.

Anyone who says it's "greed" is a freeloading douche who has never created anything in their life.

As soon as the USA gets its paws on Cuba, and it will happen eventually, it will go the way of those other two shit holes. Then lets see how everything works out for the Cuban people.

Again: the act of doing something means you think you have the right to do it, otherwise you simply would not do it.

Ok, you've gone past reason and are now free falling into desperate and pathetic with each new reply.

I speed. I do not have the legal right to speed. What rights I have and do not have are in our founding documents and are codified, defined and/or restricted by law. Speeding does not mean I believe I have the right to do so. I can break the law without believing I am right to break the law or that the law doesn't apply to me. I certainly can't argue that I have the legal right to do something illegal as your pea brain seems to be suggesting, being that its such an obvious contradiction.

"Rights" are not some abstract idea on a sliding scale that you adjust to suit your wants and whims that day... or depending on what movies are released that weekend and whether you wish to pay 4.00 for the matinee or 9.00 for the evening.

You have no legal right to illegally copy the work of another. One would think that to be self evident given the fact that you know its illegal. Doesn't seem like a complex concept to wrap ones mind around.. yet you just can't seem to.

Anyway, this is why I post less and less here. Too many idiots. Too little time. Too much work to do.
