torrentfreak.com — ...Singers and actors are rich enough" According to a study into children?s safety and how they use the internet, European kids appear to have a basic grasp of the law when it comes to file-sharing. However, they aren?t really bothered by it and just carry on downloading - music in particular.

Wow, this is a clinic on why our society and the future IS f**kED. People too goddamned stupid to understand WORK.You obviously don't know s**t about the life of a musician or the years of practice it takes to develop musical skill. And after that, you have to sit down and WRITE and REVISE and HONE your compositions and then go into the studio and record, record, record. And what about living out of a van or one squalid hotel after another while touring two-bit hellholes, at the cost of your physical condition and time with your family and all of that?You obviously don't know the first thing about working for a living, so you can shove your embarrassingly ignorant blather right up your entitled ass.

Well its no rocket science as to alot of the reason people download so much music. The most important factor i think would probably be PRICE. The price for CDs in retail stores is OUTRAGEOUS, they are alot of times higher priced than DVD movies, which i see as rediculous.If there was some kind of standard pricing for CDs as in 9.99 or lower, or hell even 7.99 or lower with the only exception being special editions for a couple of dollars more. I just have a hard time justifying the purchase of a CD that with tax can come out to near 20 dollars depending on what CD it is. The only way i usually even buy CDs now is from resellers on amazon because the prices in store are rediculous.The other reason i would say is, online you can get the full album sometimes months before its released, and along side that you dont even have to get up to go get it. Why drive 20 minutes to the store, have to park, get out and go in, find the CD, then wait in line to purchase it, when its all right there a few clicks away at the computer. This is especially true with kids who have no license and have to beg mommy or daddy for the money and also for the ride to go get the damn thing.

Don't worry: once it becomes 'passe' as you say, we'll just start using curved screens?

By that logic, someone who hears a funny joke and re-tells it is a thief, or someone using a new slang term is a thief. "Property' is the wrong word to describe information. It simply doesn't work that way, and the world's culture is starting to reflect that.

haha lcmatt with that attitude I'm surprised you don't just steal everything you want since most things are priced over their actual worth. You're right about music being cheaper online, i mean come on you have to be some kind of stubborn cheap jackass if you think 99 cents is too much to pay for a song. Why don't you save that 99 cents from that candybar you were about to buy and purchase the songs you continue to steal. That way you can be healthy and have a guilt-free conscious
