If you can't share files with others, then what's the point of using their service.. dropbox is so useful, that's a legit file sharing service, most of the services that are now trying to cover their asses had programs rewarding people for putting up bigger files and bringing people in to download them, which really make it look like they are structured for downloading tv shows games and movies. So it's not like legit file sharing is dead. | ||

Blockbuster, Rogers Video all shutdown (no physical rental stores anymore) Netflix has shit for selection (the library is pathetic) VOD service from cable providers is shit as well (overpriced, library is too small) So what are people supposed to do? Even my brother and sister who do not torrent and are not tech savvy complain about the lack of selection when it comes to renting stuff. If Netflix was half decent i would have no problem giving them my money but as it stands i will continue to torrent all my tv and movies. | ||

Thank you TL. 3:20 am and I just got out my beer. On January 23 2012 11:20 Goragoth wrote: The other side of that coin is that the artists/media companies are not entitled to a massive profit either. It takes zero effort to make a copy, and a lot of effort to create the original. That's the problem. Once the original has been paid for there is no reason for the creator to earn more. A reasonable term for copyright these days would probably be 5 years, maybe less, because if you haven't turned a profit by then you probably never will. Instead we get perpetual copyright extensions that are completely perverting the original purpose of copyright (provide incentive to create). It's a complex issue and anyone who pretends it isn't is either lying or an idiot. Very true. I've been wondering for very long why are people still charging so much for old records which were made by people who are already dead. Having said that, 5 years is an unreasonably short period of time for a musician... I was thinking more in terms of 3 years after his/her death, because it takes a lot of time for musicians to get their name out. | ||

Keep throwing money at the problem, that ought to fix it, instead of using your head to fix the problem.

Bull shit if it's about availability, tell me why you get 3 4 million downloading movies and games which are blockbuster kind of movies and games, which short of living in like the congo you can get pretty easily either online though a legit service or in a store. Hell i live on the west coast of the US, i know of 2 Japanese import stores 3 Filipino import stores(they are all pretty close to each other too lol so many Filipinos in my area), 1 Korean import store, 1 mesh of europe import store, you're telling me importing isn't a business outside of the US?. It about time and money, pirates just justify not trying with crap like that, sure maybe every other download is hard to get in their area but why are they downloading something that isn't to begin with it invalidates their so called "it's hard to get". That's just full of crap, it's about the cost of doing something. | ||

The main reason for the shut down is the fact that unregistered users can upload files, which are stored for 90 days, unless they are downloaded. Users are charged for faster downloads, not storage and every upload is offered to make a link for other people to download. The whole thing makes a pretty strong case that Megauploads was only interesting making money providing illegal downloads to people. Actually they're charged with offering incentives for uploads (to make a larger profit obvs), while using each upload to make it harder to take down materials. 22. When a file is being uploaded to Megaupload.com, the Conspiracy’s automated system calculates a unique identifier for the file (called a “MD5 hash”) that is generated using a mathematical algorithm. If, after the MD5 hash calculation, the system determines that the uploading file already exists on a server controlled by the Mega Conspiracy, Megaupload.com does not reproduce a second copy of the file on that server. Instead, the system provides a new and unique URL link to the new user that is pointed to the original file already present on the server. If there is more than one URL link to a file, then any attempt by the copyright holder to terminate access to the file using the Abuse Tool or other DMCA takedown request will fail because the additional access links will continue to be available. Facilitating takedown requests is required to fall under the DMCA's safe harbor provisions. Also apparently money laundering, which is just not very smart >< | ||

Look at music piracy.... itunes make millions even if mp3 are the easiest thing to download on the internet. music piracy is almost irrelevant and online sale are exploding. all that with outrageous 1$ per drm song prices. good thing i don't listen to pop. DJs make weekly shows for free. Did you know that every1 does not lives on the west coast? | ||

 Now I have to rely on Torrents for my porn - and torrents aren't always available. Other filesharing sites sucks (except Netload). This is a major turning point in my internetporn hobby - and not for the good. | ||
