Piracy?
#26
RE: Piracy?
256k MP3 is so close to lossless anyway, there really is hardly any difference (except for placebo). AAC is an improved format still. Remember that 384kbs MP2 is considered to be perceptively lossless. The D-VHS format was considered perceptively lossless as well (of course, technically speaking it certainly was not), it failed miserably and we had to wait another 6 years for HD-DVD and Bluray to come to the market - and despite HD-DVD being technically better, cheaper and less restrictive (no region coding), consumers chose the other format. The BD disc specs do not allow for 1080 25p material, despite the fact that this is a standard format (1080p50/1080p60 that is). So the format is already totally obsolete - I loathed myself when I bought the Wallace and Gromit BD set since it's meant to be 25p but can only be watched 24p or 50i and I hate the fact that it couldn't be released in the format it deserves - but this goes for all 25p material.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
