too high a risk of getting a virus/something nasty, as well as the fact that representatives employed by the copyright holders sit on torrents and then send infringement notices to your ISP..shoes said:How come?
the thing is, if the record companies just let it lie and it became too easy to download stuff for free, then they would lose money.. i agree with you that, at the moment, the majority of people who pirate stuff would have no intention of buying it if they couldn't get it for free.. however, if it becomes too easy to pirate stuff, and if less tech-savvy people get onboard, then there is a real chance that people who would ordinarily buy media will end up pirating it instead..shoes said:Still I hope they win too. I do feel for the poor artists and producers and record companies though, their £100m profits must be disappointing, how will they eat?
As I've already said if I can't download music and video for free then I'm not going to buy it anyway and i think a lot of d/l folk feel the same so they're losing nothing really.
