Movies/Music i can see piracy being a problem. Not totally though.

About advertising: I didn't say anything about telling others to pirate anything. I generally recommend a product to people if i feel it's a nice product. I don't say "pirate this". I say "This is nice".
How they get it is up to them.

If a business created it, yes it costs times, and time costs money. If it was just made as some guys hobby then that's completely different. Nobody would actually buy a program others recommended. Its all stolen lol.

depends from country....in mine downloading is legal...just uploading isnt :P

Thats for music. I'm talking about software, which is illegal in all countries.

yeah same...i never said something about to pirace this or pirace that....and even if im downloading things im doing that only to check the stuff...if i like it much i just go to the shop and buy it...movies or music...its all in my collection...well only if its worth it

I think it should be stopped, but I don't truthfully think it can be. It'd cost so much money & take so much time.

I don't think it's even possible. I thin there's always going be someone or something that can make it happen. Stuff is always going to be stolen. I think they're always a way; it's endless.

i think.. someone should make a like. public website to listen to music. where everyone can listen for free, but a big cool company can pay for the music, and is just playing it for their own amusement. There are absolutely NO sites like that.

but you might want to check out

IMEEM - what's on your playlist?
Pandora Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio, Find New Music
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Those buttholes are selfish and dont give you the opportunity to listen to music for free.

I think it should be legal for the needy but illegal for the rich because somethings people just cant afford

Doesn't make sense. I could easily create an account that would have me stated as poor (not that I'm rich IRL).

Do what you want cause a pirate is free! You are a pirate! lol Pirate away!

are you shitting me? in your world no1 would want to be rich in the first place.....why would they so they can pay for things that can be gotten for free? lol

Stopping piracy is impossible now and if its stopped,people in third world countries will not be able to enjoy everything!

I dont think that illegal downloading can be stopped. Its already too well known to be stopped. Why pay for something when you can get it for free?
