Default Re: BitTorrent Piracy Boosts Music Sales,,,,,

I am amazed that anyone buys the line that the copyrwrong industries put out.
The common topics are:
  • We represent the artist
  • We're dying a slow death due to piracy
  • We need protection in the form of new laws
  • The cure for piracy is education
  • Piracy has a huge effect on the economy


There are tons of articles all over the internet about how the music industry screws artists. It's about the money.

The music industry tried what it always went back to. The releasing of a new format and the killing of the old one. Only this time it backfired. No one sees value in a mp3 you can't hold in your hand and show someone what you bought. It no longer looks like the purchase is worth the money.

This protection racket, is another sham. They get it passed in one country and then hold that country up as the shining example all others should follow. When they can't get that passed, they go to the trade agreements. I'm sure you've heard how successful that ACTA has been.

If the cure for piracy were education, no one would be a pirate today. I mean they have government approval to go into schools to try and educate the young. It's called propaganda and teaching the young is one of the oldest known education rearranging stunts known to man.

To hear the copywrong industry, no culture would ever get created without copyright protecting it. That alone is a farce. What happened in the world before that industry showed up? The copywrong industry does not represent more than around 5 to 6% of the economy total. They get re-educated every time they try something that upsets the big boys of the megacorporations. The proposed law dies a very quick death.
