One could have mentioned the fact that most pirated music is not a lost sale in the first place: Although this kind of survey is probably not very accurate, the vast majority of people said that if they didn't pirate it, they still wouldn't have bought it anyway.

I bought the Ultegras, but I only bought them because they were on sale for less than the price of 105s, or else I would've just bought the cheaper ones... which I guess is what I did... *shrug

And that one can go to the library, borrow a cd, and copy it. And that you could do this with tapes before digital media.

And the judicial system. A judge ruled with a straight face that it's legal for copy protection to be put on bluetooth because the ability to make a VHS covers the personal backup portion of the law. That's absurd.

Actually in my line of work spending countless hours planning projects and quotes sometimes results in a client taking the project to a competitor due to pricing. I think my local shops make plenty of money marking up parts and pieces that we have to have by 200-300%. If you want to spend double the money and be loyal go ahead and knock yourself out it is your money but dont preach that crap to the masses no one is listening in this economy.

Well, that would still be illegal since you're not supposed to make copies of borrowed media.
That sucks. Did the judge ever consider that some people might not own a VCR? It was a strict interpretation of the law as I recall. Since you could make a backup it fulfilled the personal use provision of the law. I don't know if it went anywhere, but the DMCA is completely messed up in a lot of ways. Between their lobbying for laws bordering on absurdity, the ridiculous lawsuits, and their near obsolescence while still taking money from artists I don't feel a whole lot of pity for the RIAA regarding file sharing. |
