Piracy...your take?

[Eilonnwy]

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.

I understand. I'm feeling very calm. -_^ I just got the impression that you were stating piracy was okay because it's never going to go away, since the question from the original post was what you thought about piracy.

Yes, piracy will never go away. It's still stealing, and just because the problem seems monumental doesn't mean you can't tackle it and the companies are not justified in trying to combat it.
