I've had it with you smug, braindead Americans and your power hungry mega-corporations that aim for nothing short of global domination. SOPA, PIPA, TTIP, when will this madness end?! Same shit, different dressing. When will you wake up and realize your entertainment industry has grew too large and the government lost control over it? Or are you going to just let them do as they please, as they continue running amok?
Piracy is theft. Stop being a leech. Support the creators.
Ryan Mitchell
"No"
why should i
Nicholas Ross
it's not theft when you copy it
Matthew Gray
Because piracy is theft, and theft is immoral.
Ryan Kelly
It is.
Anthony Roberts
It's not theft because the original copy is intact.
When you steal the original copy is taken. This is more copying data than stealing it
Explain to me why I shouldn't do this
Nathan Lopez
>Piracy is theft.
Torrents and torrenting aren't illegal anywhere you moron. That website merely indexed and catalogued them - by shutting torrentz.eu down, they made lawful, non-illegal content harder to access too
kill yourself.
Brayden Brown
Most of what I torrent is stuff that never gets released here. I couldn't get it legally even if i wanted.

lol rip in piss third worlders
Gavin Roberts
>make product >make it cost something >pirate copies it illegally and denies me payment for my product >pirate goes ahead and shares his illegally acquired copy denying me further payments >my hard work is wasted because entitled kids think they are somehow entitled to acquiring my product without paying the price i set for it Nice logic, retard.
Matthew Stewart
Ok then don't make it fag
Tons of people run podcasts and create content for free.
If ur shit is pirated consider it basically the free market saying it's not worth anything.
Chase Parker
>don't make content unless it's free because I'm a poorfag! Fucking kids these days, must be all the communist brainwashing in schools.
Liam Wilson
Pirating means there is demand for the product.
William Bell
I can afford it but I don't want to
U mad shitty content creator? If it was any good id donate money
Jeremiah Wood
>U mad? Didn't expect a better argument from thief scum.
Isaac Collins
Not necessarily
They could be seeing if it's good first instead of buying content then deciding if they like it.
You also falsely make the assumption they'd buy the content if piracy wasn't available. What if they're poorfags and instead of buying it now they just don't see the content instead?
That's like the argument people make with ad blocking, if there was no ad blockers I just wouldn't go to ur shit site anymore
:+)
Matthew Martin
What if he purchased your product legally and simply wants to share it with a friend or family?
Levi Myers

Austin Jones
>they'd buy the content if piracy wasn't available So much this. Big ass company are crying about how much money they've ''lost'' due to piracy, but it's actually just some asspull numbers.
Robert Diaz
Property rights do not exist to protect the object itself; it's the labor put into that object that is being protected. A farmer does not need property rights over his field because the land itself is of any inherent value to him. He needs the land because him being the sole owner enables him to work the land to produce the yield that he can make a living out of. It's the same with intellectual property, even if there's not a physical object to protect. What's protected is the mental labor put into producing the software, music, or film.
Noah Davis
Soon we will need decentralized torrent websites. ZeroNet.io looks promising.
Henry Gonzalez
Pirates have better services:
>More content >Better interfaces >Easy to reach >Various quality >Various formats >Multiple audio tracks for different languages
When they offer this, I will subscribe.
Josiah Lewis
So why is it that people produce top-tier software and podcasts/wikis/whatever FOR FREE, and it's yhe best shit ever
Yet some little cock who wants some money feels entitled?
Why is it that the linux kernel was created for fun by a college student and changed the world yet some shitty rehashed movie needs to be bought full price?
Isaiah Mitchell
So they've chosen a different business model, but they still have IP.
Colton Martin
you smell like a giant cuck
Juan Carter
Im a poorfag so they cant gain money from me anyways, so why shouldnt i torrent ?
Joseph Morgan
>Hundreds types of businesses got fucked during the years due to advances in technology, but when it's about Universal or Time Warner, the ordinary citizen has to take a stand.
Fuck off kikes.
Ryan Myers
>every company should makes things for free! >fuck having a market and shit that contributes to the economy and creates more content
Brody Long
They can stop making it if they wish
Lucas Stewart
Look at all the thieves making excuses
Nathan Bailey
>pirating gives me access to old films and other shows that are hard to watch or get in here >crap like Netflix is forcing me to use only Netflix Mexico >this shit has extremely limited content >now I'm forced to stick with shows that I don't want to watch from Mexico and their shit "original" shows
Fuck them, seriously.
Owen Walker
>implying corporations support the creators
Most of the money goes to corporations themselves, not to the creators.
Aiden Young
good stuff
Kayden Reyes
Fuck off shitskin
Jaxon Reed
You mad, "creator"?
Ayden Cook
>Implying we can stop them There were people who supported a man who was against big coorperation this election, but he got cheated out of his nomination. Face it Hungary, there is nothing we can do. They are no longer just American coorperations, they are a global problem. How about YOU do something about it.
Easton Perry
Kill yourself
Jeremiah Ward
Corporations are based and I like them but pirating is good too
