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 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.
