The Pirate Bay has just “switched” to PEX, DHT and Magnet links, so perhaps there’s a learning curve.

But at any rate, growths can level off or branch in new directions (like a hydra getting its head removed that are not necessarily immediately (statistically) obvious.
Maybe some are so bored of corporate “pseudo-art/music”, that they’re starting to consider Creative Commons/FLOSS/etc.-Art/Music websites.
(Pure art doesn’t need money, nor industry.)

I use Linux and more and more FLOSS now… so my software piracy is slowly dying/sinking.

That strange but we don’t see any evidence of that. May be this is just a dream on you death bed?”

Was it a wet one?

I should have guessed.

This headline was clearly written by someone at the BPI on behalf of The Economist.

Some corporate dinosaurs are masturbating at night.

1) We don’t care about piracy itself we want the corporate parasites dead starting with the entertainment industry and we are getting what we want. You see sorry but we are not entertained so we have to entertain ourself by killing you guys. It is a lot of fun and at the same time we are helping our coutries and contributing to our societies.

2) Basically there is nothing else to pirate since everyone with their terabytes HDs has a copy of everything. So we make sure that nobody buy anything from you.

Nobody is forcing me to D/L 200 gigs of t.v and movies every month,i do that by choice.

I used to spend close to $10,000 p\a on the same content i previewed when the physical product became legally available,that was up until Jan 09.

Since then due to the tactics of the MPAA\FACT etc i now spend $0 DOLLARS PER MONTH on their product.That will continue now regardless of them changing their “sue em all” policy.These elitist scum need to be hung,drawn and quatered for their crimes!.

That, of course, is the appropriate action to take … nobody is forcing you to do anything you don’t want to do … On the other hand if you download someone’s music who would rather you not do so … and illegally distribute it via p2p … you are forcing the creator of that music to accept your terms of barter – nothing for him or her – everything for you. That’s a pretty tough bargain to handle for the non performing creator (songwriters for instance) who depend on sales for their income.

With all the music now legally available for free on the net there is no reason anyone can’t be complete happy boycotting corporate product; and, I commend you for your willingness to play by the rules.

“if 1/4 of those people gave you 10$”

This month so far p2pnet has had 111,837 uniques, averaged out.

So …

Well, at least with streaming services, you can listen to music anywhere… that you have a computer… and a connection to the internet… well actually, it’s pretty limiting… yeah, nevermind. I never said a thing.

But yeah, downloading MP3 files that have no DRM and that you can do anything with, is pretty lame. No really, it is. I’m not sure why, but it just is!

I’m sure the young person in question will be deeply gratified by your witty response.

Cheers!

Ah, # Reader’s Write, the sheer eloquence of your argument, your way with words… you’re power to persuade … I’d like to wish you a happy 10th birthday … let me know when get there.

In your dream parasite.

You don’t get it do you?

We don’t like you we don’t want you and we don’t need you except in a labor camp or in a meat factory where you can repay the society all the money you stole from the artists and the public alike.
