Re: Digital piracy (not intended for the discussion of the ethical issues)
http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/196672-the-pirate-bay-went-down-but-early-reports-indicate-no-impact-on-pc-game-piracy
They do say the piracy rates stayed the same, though, so it seems it's not about the impact piracy has on sales so much as about the impact the existence of The Pirate Bay has on piracy rates.
The argument that piracy cannot be fought through the shutting down of sites and prosecuting pirates (and that hence the media industry needs to offer profitable alternatives to piracy along the lines of Netflix) is a sound one, I think, though it doesn't really help my own dilemma. I just don't want to personally contribute to anything that might damage the welfare of the creators of my canons, so I'm having a lot of doubts as to whether I should keep some of the copyrighted media I have on my HDD available for public download.
Re: Digital piracy (not intended for the discussion of the ethical issues)
(Anonymous) 2015-01-12 01:22 am (UTC)(link)I have divided feelings too. I try to support 2-3 movies are year but I can't afford more than that. Books are easier and cheaper.
But also want to try before I buy with games. I miss demos :( games are real expensive down under. I want to test before possibly dropping 80 on a game. I only buy 2 a year (and play maybe 3 a year?)
