The way Digital media is evolving. Pirating video and music will turn into a promotional tool.

I normally pirate music and if i like it ill buy the album to hear more of the artists music but i just think pirating movies is wrong... go to the movies with a friend and have a good time, who cares if its $8(thats how much it costs here)

Wingnutt, I don't disagree. We are all thieves. However the question isn't if downloading pirated intellectual property is illegal, the question is if doing so is wrong. This is a value judgment. I personally don't think it's wrong.

With the growth of technology selling data is getting to be obsolete and fairly ridiculous. In a non-networked, non-digital society it was still possible to sell data because you could never make perfect duplicates. However was it ever really right to sell data. Isn't a free flow of data vital to the continued advancement of technology and knowledge in general?

You may say now, "But music isn't data it's entertainment". To which i respond that it is both. Because without the exchange of knowledge that occurs through listening to and partaking in music what would have influenced each musician to expand the boundaries of music?

People are going to make music and movies no matter what. It's just people passion. When you do something you love you can't stop. But if they intend to do these things as a career they will simply have to find a new way to monetize their commodities. Because, to make analogy between Schroedinger's Cat and the *AAs' business models, the box is open and the cat is dead.

Its not good because after some time all movie and music will be launch on internet for all movie i found free site http://www.wfmon.com
