[QUOTE=mobrockers;20815441]This means that company's that make software/game/music/movies wont be selling their products in spain anymore?[/QUOTE] Why not? It's not like spanish people can now play online or anything. But their market will be lower.
[QUOTE=johanz;20815490]Why not? It's not like spanish people can now play online or anything. But their market will be lower.[/QUOTE] I wouldnt sell my product in a country that supports people stealing it.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;20815520]I wouldnt sell my product in a country that supports people stealing it.[/QUOTE] If my game had multiplayer part, I would.
Moving to Spain, adios!
Lets hope other countries follow suit!
[QUOTE=MasterF3n;20815587]Lets hope other countries follow suit![/QUOTE] And in the end we get no games. Great analogy you got.
[QUOTE=johanz;20815625]And in the end we get no games. Great analogy you got.[/QUOTE] That isn't an analogy.
[QUOTE=Sams Brume;20815940]That isn't an analogy.[/QUOTE] Ok
Fuck yeah, brb moving to spain.
I hope Canada legalizes file sharing :C
[QUOTE=doonbugie;20816716]I hope Canada legalizes file sharing :C[/QUOTE] But it's not illegal there if you only download but not upload. That's not sharing anymore though.
[QUOTE=Sams Brume;20814841]Just like how the phrase "Where the fuck" involves having sex in a location.[/QUOTE] Except fuck is an expletive. You don't see people stubbing their toe and yelling "OH PIRATE!!"
Metro 2033 - 27.5%

[QUOTE=johanz;20813404]Do it for companies and sell stuff to them? That's how most painters, photographers work. Not a lot of people sell their stuff individually.[/QUOTE] Okay, so lets say this photographer sells his photos to this company which uses them to promote a film. Turns out, everyone downloads the film illegally, leaving the company without any profit thus making it impossible for them to purchase any new photos from said photographer. It's an evil circle. Money is what makes the world spin, get everything for free and it's game over.

[QUOTE=lolwutdude;20803720]so, pirate crusaders, riddle me this: if piracy was legal, whats my incentive or anyone else's to buy the damn game/movie? Instead of spending $50, I could just hit up a warez site, and download the game. No one can stop me because it's legal. you guys do realize not all of you guys are crusader knights rebelling against evil DRM and most of pirates are those who don't give a shit?[/QUOTE] It's highly unlikely anyone would stop you from doing that in the first place, so in reality it probably wouldn't change much. What you're implying is that everyone who buys games only does so when they have to, but anyone with an internet connection can easily do exactly what you're saying. So why don't they?
[QUOTE=lazyguy;20818062]Holy shit are you an anarchocapitalist? You crazy crazy idealist bastard.[/QUOTE] No I'm not.
I think that piracy should still be illegal to stop everyone pirating everything because they can. I'm all for piracy, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
[QUOTE=Elstumpo;20821227]I think that piracy should still be illegal to stop everyone pirating everything because they can.

[QUOTE=Wonky;20803452]Personally I love Valve's stance on the issue, that the majority of pirates are just unsatisfied customers. When piracy rates in Russia were through the roof, Valve didn't install some shit DRM, they just localized the content, and guess what, the rates went down![/QUOTE] And theres also the the cheap people that dont care for paying
[QUOTE=doonbugie;20821562]And theres also the the cheap people that dont care for paying[/QUOTE] Or poor people who can't pay.
Piracy is bad, it doesn't matter if its "just" copying. Why the hell should people who put lots of work into making movies / music / games / applications not get paid?
they also have really fucking fast internet
[QUOTE=green bandit;20801551]Hopefully other countries will catch on.[/QUOTE] Mandleson won't. He said we should join the Eiro when Greece is in a crisis :geno:

Note, not all people working on this shit are doing it for the money. Lots of them want to get a good story out there. And you people are trying to keep people from listening to their stories. How dare you.
