MPAA/RIAA trying more stuff

[lazs2]

I am motivated by self interest?   Look at your thread man.  You are the one who is upset because you can't steal intelectual content not I.

I don't care what the owners of the content do with it... they can sell it or they can give it away... it is their decision not the decision of the thieves like yourself.

I have no problem with people recording a copy of something and then viewing it later.   This seems very minor and I bet the media people have no problem with it either.   Seems fine to me and I doubt that these are who "they" are going after.  

DVD's go for anywere from $5-25... big deal  How many do you need?   No one is "banning" anything... they are simply telling manufacturers that they can't make equipment to conterfiet.   How does that have anything to do with guns or ammo?  I don't want to make conterfiet guns or ammo.   The Ammo I make is either much different from factory ammo or uses componets bought from the ammo manufacturers themselves or.... both.

There would be no reason for the ammo manufacturers to want to ban my reloading... My hobby makes them money.

In media... your conterfieting hobby costs them money... you are not creating anything you are simply stealing what someone eslse created.   If they feel that is ok then it is ok with me.

If they say I can't record programs then I will probly cut wathing programs to allmost nothing... it is very low now... maybe half a dozen hours a month and then mostly as background noise or because someone else in the house is watching.  

Still... they would not want to lose my bussiness of buying cable or equipment and lose the off chance that they/thier sponsors can sell me something.... At least I wouldn't think so.

scia.... what is it that you are upset about?  do you really think that there will be no more recorders available?   Do you really think that "they" want less people to consume em or watch "survivor" even if it was recorded?

the only benifet I can see to your theft is that in lower slobovia when you by a recorder or two the GNP of your "country" goes up 10% or so.

This shows that you don't even understand what this thread is about and thus what you're talking about.

By the way lazs, lower slobovia has both more cell phones, broad band connections and whatnot compared to US per capita. You're behind.

Actualy I believe it shows that the only clue you have is... It was the butler. Other than that you`re lost.

  Well then, there ya go. You shouldn`t be leaning and depending on  the U.S. recording industry and it`s laws. No music industry there? Anything that doesn`t depend on the U.S. ?

Are you really that thick jackal? Sorry I should know better.

The Butler says the industry is trying to ban people from making _any_ copies for whatever use. Lazs' post showed that he doesn't understand the simple fact.

And Jackal doesn't understand that the world isn't full of closed boxes. What happens in China affect the global market, what happens in US affects the global market. What gets passed in one country, the money will try to pass in other countries too.

Give the devil the little finger.. etc.

And again, why even talk about it?   You really think it will make any difference?  And what is the big deal again?

You work for an assumption which is incorrect.  The last album I bought was on vinyl.  I do not own, nor never will, an MP3 player.  I do not have a single new digital audio recording of any kind, except the ones I made from my vinyl albums.

Now, it would be trivial for me to get rid of my satellite connection and forget about broadcast anything.  I would stick to watching DVD's exclusively.  If they make it where I cannot watch my DVD's, then I get rid of the TV (need more space in the living room anyways) and be just as happy.

My life does not revolve around these optional items.  Quite frankly, I hope they do it.  It would give me even more time for the hobbies I do love (woodworking, RC flying/building...).

  Then the butler needs to take you for a little stroll and explain a few things. For example, it is up to you whether or not you buy into this program and the fact that if you are so dependent on this one, little , insignificant thing, then you have a real problem and the world has lot`s of surprises for you.

And Jackal doesn't understand that the world isn't full of closed boxes. What happens in China affect the global market, what happens in US affects the global market. What gets passed in one country, the money will try to pass in other countries too.

   What Jackal DOES understand is that I don`t get all hammered out of shape over "proposed"  laws  passed in another country.
  I also understand that such laws are usualy squashed if there is enough of the public against them.
  I also understand that "money" is not money and carries no weight with anyone if it cuts it`s own throat.
  I also understand that if DVD copying, yea or ney, was this important to me, then I would be looking my life over real closely.

sciaf... it is you who don't understand my post.. I said that "I"  meaning me personally, don't have any problem with people recording a show and watching it later.   I also said that the industry probly will allways allow that.  

As for lower slobovia... post a link..  

I find it hard to believe that you all sit around on the internet and your cell phones and none of you can make any artistic content...  that you are so dependant on the U.S.  Maybe it is just that we have such good land line phones.

Besides... what do you do with all your stolen media?  My guess is that most of it is just trash that you will end up throwing away later anyway after having to drag it around for years.   I mean... What are you gonna do with the first two seasons of "survivor"?
