Piracy...your take?

[Retorth]

So claiming there's no stopping it makes it okay? I don't think so. Saying there's no stopping murder because people do it every day and people often get away with it, doesn't make it any less wrong.

You are justified in doing what you can to mitigate the instances, preventing murder whenever possible as well as preventing piracy. Your argument is a perfect solution fallacy. Just because people are still going to steal, does not make it right or legal and if you get caught, you should pay the consequences.

When did I say it was ok to commit piracy? And since when am I arguing for piracy either? :S I can understand your frustration because I create music so you could say I'm an artiste as well, but you need to calm down if I may say so. I get the feeling this is a rather touchy topic for you which, again, I can completely understand but I sincerely do not appreciate you coming at me with accusations of making fallacies which clearly are nowhere near the intentions of my post. My comments are just observations, if you will.

Anyway, if you didn't realize, I am actually on your side, just that I am looking at it realistically as I stated:

It's definitely good to support the cause for helping musicians and the likes, but I just think this is an issue that isn't going to ever end.

In other words, I just feel that its so rampant that its extremely hard, borderlining on impossible to solve. I could be wrong however. A full proof solution may well be at hand.
