Video gamers provide more entertainment anyway.[/QUOTE]
Pirates rarely buy anything anyway, how is that going to change anything?
Now that I know I won't be able to illegally watch movies I suddenly want to be able to illegally watch movies.
it's like trying to stop illegal drugs, they can try as hard as they want, but there will always be people dealing and using drugs.

It would be nice if one were to elaborate on this.
[QUOTE=TH89;23036458]Pirates rarely buy anything anyway, how is that going to change anything?[/QUOTE]
Second this. Pirates are as likely to buy something as if they weren't a pirate. For example, a decent person may pirate the first film of a trilogy, the first track of an album. Does that go to say they won't buy the rest of the trilogy or the album itself?
I mean, if I want to sample an album, I would listen to it on Spotify. Before Spotify, it would be a free "trial" song.:wink: I'd buy the album if I liked it. If I had never downloaded the song in the first place, I would never have bought the album
tl;dr: Piracy increases revenue, don't see why they're complaining.
[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;23023804]They'll never shut down all the torrent sites, there's too many loopholes keeping them up.[/QUOTE]
I've actually been interested in this, and would like opinions rather than google searches.
What IS keeping them from shutting them down? Like what are some of the main loopholes?

Hacking eh?
Isn't that mildly illegal?
[QUOTE=The_Fly56556;23024079]Most of these sites linked you to megavideo, why aren't they shutting down that?[/QUOTE]
Because who ever orders these things don't realise this. If they did, they would be shutting google down next.
This is why people who don't understand technology should not go after piracy.
It might end up like the pirate bay, explaining for many hours in court how the technology works.

The loop hole that they seem to be using is that they do not host any illegal content, they just link to it. Its not different to searching for torrents on google.
If they shut down [url]http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/[/url] then shiz gonna get down!

No because drugs still have negative effects on the user.
It's like trying to ban fireworks on the 4th of July.
