08/15/10(Sun)12:57:12 No.10669355A few reasons:
1.
I use a *wide* range of media for very short periods of time. I listen
to cd's once. I watch a tv series once. I watch a movie once. If I were
to have paid for all of it, it would have put me back tens of thousands
of dollars *per year*. The sole exception is games, which generally have
much greater "length-of-enjoyment", and hey: I often pay for those. The
prices on music is absurd, and the prices on TV-DVD box-sets even more
so.
2. I will never give my money to company that pumps out shit,
and most companies do. Your average "music" or "movie" or "game"
company is nothing more than a marketing machine, pumping out an endless
stream of shit that only looks good in previews. I always try before I
buy.
3. A lot of what I pirate is anime, and the American
anime-industry, such as it is, is cancerous. They put out worse products
than free fansubbers do, and then charge for it. Then they turn around
and sue bittorrent sites. Like so many other entities in the
entertainment-industry, they are a pointless middleman that only serves
to leech off of another person's work. Sure, there are a few exceptions
of superior subs/dubs coming from official sources, but they are few and
far between.
4. And yeah, the middleman argument applies heavily to music as well.
Oh and finally:
fuck yeah free shit |
