Most American shows can be watched legally online if I tunnel up. From my regular ip, not so much. Stores like our version of iTunes are pathetic in the scope of their offering. Services like Spotify are artificially held behind the most recent releases at least a month to not interfere with other sales, while the digital market is actually steadily growing (52% of total in the US, 32% worldwide) on the few sadly underused fronts where it's properly supplied. Digital download services, which have less costs, manage to charge equally or often more than retailers as to not piss them off. I could go on for quite a while, you really don't know what you're talking about. And then we're just talking availability, not even touching things like DRM.
A torrent takes about 3 clicks. If you want to sell your content it's not about making people jump through hoops. If you just want super tight control and maximize profits on old markets, well, this is the digital age.

You are just some ignorant dude.
Totally denying the argument of mp3 distributing sites. I pirated some music, who didn't. Guess what i bought about 12 albums from musicload in the last 7 month.
Deny it more. It is easier to blame people instead of facing a problem and go trough it with some brainpower. Weren't you talking about lazyness? 
edit: and btw those mp3 i download are of course DRM-free, just to make sure you see the contradiction to your arguments .

As long as newsgroups stays alive im good..

Torrents are sure way to go, but their main disadvantage is lack of seeders, when you search for some older/not so popular stuff.Closure of these services is going to hurt everyone, it was relatively easy to use them, and with programs like jdownloader you basically had unlimited access to them.

Don't you people realize that torrents can get you in way way way more trouble than downloading from a Filehoster?
Everyone with a brain should have stopped torrenting (at least from public sites) 2 years ago.

i'm poor as fuck, that's why i pirate music. if i get a stable job once i graduate i will be sure to buy every album that i want and erase all the pirated stuff, but i will never look down on someone for pirating. i would really much rather see a drastic change in the music market as a whole though, the current system is not as efficient as it could be obviously

Is there anything we can do against the US? They keep thinking they are the world leaders, it keeps pissing me off :/. USA you are not the fucking world leaders. ugh and to think they are actually europeans :/. I mean i'm sure there are just normal americans. But the amount of retarded people the USA has is just insane.

no they don't. Have you ever seen one of those SOPA campaign videos? they only want to protect their american jobs and their american dollars with that stuff, not protect the whole world from cyber criminals. Your statement is just wrong. The big issue is just that the US make up a major share of the western technology world, so anything they do simply affects everyone in the whole world. but they don't try to do anything for people outside of the US, so they really are not trying to be "world leaders".

no it is true, that's just what i was trying to say. they try to protect their american IP. That may be by going after foreign people or american people, that really doesn't matter. They don't go after the UK student because he did something wrong in the UK, they go after him because he violated american IP rights. they only represent american interests, so they are only american leaders. It doesn't matter where they try to execute it, the point is on whose behalf they do it

Ah yeah, that's accurate then, but still I think the idea of the person you quoted is that they want to stop the US from pushing their laws/interests on other countries.

is the US trying to push other countries to adopt their laws? if so, i've never heard of that. The cooperations that suggest these laws might be lobbying in countries all over the world, but the US government doesn't promote those i think? I don't think the us government is doing anything to promote their copyright laws, like offering trade benefits or threatening with embargos or even war? It's just lobbying companies that spread that stuff i think.
So really going after the US government is not quite the best way to combat it. Sure it might help cause lobbying apparently works best in the US and many states maybe like to follow US examples, so going against the US government might slow things down. But to really fight it and stop it, that probably won't help all that much.

Just downloaded a proxy and crypted my torrent ... hope this will suffice..

:D cmon guys dont worry people are smart when it comes to stealing/piracy. I agree it was a nice *click* *click* thing with those websites but honestly im suprised they survived this long.. We will just have to learn different paths of getting files we want (it will be probably trickier for US mates) .Thats all these guys achieved doing this they made us to do a couple of clicks more, GG WP

If the US wants to stop US citizens from pirating music they could just institute country-wide IP blocking for the offending sites...but then too many people would compare them to China for their liking.
