School Project: Piracy.

Hello all,

Current school project calls for critical analysis of the problem of Internet piracy.

Essentially what I'd like to have happen in this thread is to see BOTH views of the argument. Whether you are pro or con is of no matter. (FI, you may be con but post a pro argument that's good OR vice versa.)

The three divisions of piracy to be studied are music, movies and software (and the companies that are driving both sides of each coin. RIAA, Hollywood, P2P networks, etc.)

This will greatly help the development of this project (which is trying to give fair repute to BOTH sides of the piracy issue and discuss and dissect the very best arguments.)

Try to give credit to authors if any info is actually researched by yourself. You will get credit for the research and they will get credit for the argument. Any other arguments will be used by permission (PM or email) and again due credit given.

TIA!

Also, if any topic/project specific questions come up, just post them...I'll be close by.
 
I can go into a lot of detail if you want. I'm lazy right now, but if requested I'll explain where I"m coming from since I've been um, doing it for more then half my lifetime now.

Plain and simple? I just don't give a fvck. You can tell me how much money people are losing, you can tell me how selfish or insensitive I am, you can go on about karma, but simply, myself and other teenagers just dont' care.
 
I've seen many pirates with parrots on their shoulder. But I've also seen pirates with a peg leg and no parrots. Then there are the pirates with the peg leg and parrot. Then again maybe you're also a pirate trying to plagiarize other people's thought on the matter. Go do your own work!
When I was in school I never went to a freaking forum and asked people what are the pros and cons of abortion and etc.

what was school like back then?

 
school did not have internet access that's for sure. 🙂 We actually cracked open books and did something call reading back then. the horrors of such an idea as to read a book now a days.
He only has 3 posts including this one and he's trolling for other people to do his homework
 
Music is like water.

It's free to those who have it available to them.

If you want it and you can find it (ie: you're not in the 56k desert) they u can use as much as you can find/hold.

If you want it prepackaged and filtered, than you can buy it bottled or filter it youself.

Thanks for the sentiment UFO, but as you can read in the original post, it is NOT about getting out of work. Any work/research that results from outside sources is given fair credit to. This is a part of te original assignment. I will also be glad to post/email the final project manuscript (and grade) if you like. I consider AT to be expert opinion.

 
yeah it requires reading. When it's this easy to write an essay by asking people what their thoughts are on piracy without doing your own research leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Problem with most books is that they are out of date, especially from a library.

'oh, look that this astronomy book, it says there are 8 planets our solar system'
