Piracy Is Good! Copyright Is Evil.

Despite the conventional wisdom that BitTorrent websites and illegal downloading are destroying the fabric of entertainment industries, a number of advocates and activists believe that piracy can help independent filmmakers as both a distribution mechanism and promotional tool.

So when i finish my next film and sell it on Amazon or Netflixs, and sell my first copy and that person uploads it on Pirate Bay or Demonoid and after few days ends up on all the flash movie sites, and has been downloaded 5 million times yet in the next six months my film only sells 3 DVD at $12, how does this help the independent filmmaker, nobody came knocking on my door from Hollywood after watching my movie, i lost all the money i put into the project, i have no home and no job and now live on welfare handouts, yet the people sharing my movie on the internet are making money from google ads, is this your RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH.

>Copying 1's and 0's is not stealing.

No it's theft.

Obama put a lot of RIAA and MPAA goons into key positions within the Judaical system.
So you still have nothing to cite this from. Not surprising. This isn't exactly anything new, anyway. Anyone that has been paying attention to governmental action against peer-to-peer file sharing since the days of Napster will realize that both parties (with the exception of a few) have been trying to pass legislation that will heavily hamper that sort of activity.

And under Obama, the RIAA and MPAA get the express lane for everything they want.

It's funny how that internet freedom is so annoying to those with power. Censorship is the future. Hope and Change...heh.

>No it's theft.

Then theft doesn't mean anything anymore. Do you tell the police that a negro copied your bike and ran away with the copy but the original bike magically disappeared? Can I download your car?
 
Copyright is the right to copy. Funny how that got warped fast. Notice how you do the same thing with the word stealing? Good.

Truth is not an opinion. It is made of cold hard facts and not intentional misinterpretations of basic words.

Which is why it's important to stay updated on it and why it's important to fight to defend Internet freedom. This is why groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation exist. This isn't happening just because Obama's in office.

Well let me copy your credit card and lets see how happy you will be!

theft is the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent. DIPSHIT

Copying the numbers or having them isn't illegal in itself. It's just numbers. Committing fraud by accessing other people's accounts is a crime. You can't even make a proper example. can you? Fraud != copying

>theft is the illegal taking of another person's property
You can't own ideas and words, retard. If they still have it, then it's not theft so once again you lost the argument. No need to get all pissy like a little girl because people can spot holes in your rather flimsy logic.

What you keep trying to describe is called intellectual property rights. It means you own the rights to sell and profit from IP. After a certain numbers of years. it become public property. This is because the founding fathers understood that authors needed to have first dibs on the sales of their works, but only for a limited time. This is because no one can truly own an idea. If it doesn't involve money being traded for it, then you are copying and sharing.

This is why it's called copyright infringement and not stealing, DIPSHIT. Have a nice day, kid.

Copyrights ware developed by jews to rip off all non jews.

>>47 it become public property. This is because the founding fathers understood that authors needed to have first dibs on the sales of their works, but only for a limited time.

Only in your retard country they do!

If i never give you permission to copy my IP its theft and still illegal taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent. DIPSHIT

It's a shame. >>47 had a valid point too until he went retarded. Most theft deprives the original owner of their property. Intellectual property theft does not. The rules need to be rewritten in my opinion and it shouldn't be called theft. Like it or not, the internet has changed things drastically.

Get a fucking job you stupid ass moron!

Flip a greasy burger or clean a shitty stool like everybody else.

You prioritized some gay movie idea over food and shelter expecting a return? :lol:what a faggot, maybe you can go join the occupy wallstreet retards in their tents

Oh, and P2P on!!!!

Fuck "intellectual property". There's things I thought of before famous faggots did, but they won the race to copyright or patent the idea. Your crappy band ain't making no dough?  Tour, bitches!

>>54 You thought of nothing, your just some loser bitching about being a welfare bum living mammas basement, get over yourself, faggot.

The only part I liked about this post was fuck IP.
