A pro-piracy rant
Sep. 10th, 2009 11:42 pmI have been on holidays so I guess my monthly rant quota is still unused. :D
I am an "honest" pro-piracy person. I think that things like selling children's Disney DVDs for 18 pounds a piece or even worse, selling little tiny chips with one single Ninetendo DS kids game on them for 30 pounds a piece is a monopolistic extortion that justifies any means against it.
This was brought on by the following BBC article: Musicians hit out at piracy plans. I absolutely agree with some of the statements. Any proposed restrictions and actions against file-sharing will not work. The ways of filesharing will be changing ahead of the ways of restrictions. Instead of development of restrictive mechanisms there should be development of better and easier ways to download high-quality media content for accessible prices.
