What if the RIAA and MPAA would forgive any downloads if you

[Rage187]

went out right now and bought every CD and DVD you had downloaded?


Would you do it?

 

[Aves]

Outlook not so good.

 

[minendo]

After my two incidents with the MPAA the only thing I download is rips from my TiVo.

[mesthead21]

thatd be way too much money. meh.

 

[TBone48]

I couldn't afford it

 

[CFster]

No. They're way too ruthless.

Here about the woman who's kid's friend downloaded MP3s onto her computer without her knowledge?

She didn't even do it. Her kid didn't even do it.

She's spent $24K and hasn't even been to court yet.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

If they actually paid ME in return for the sh|t on the albums I don't want to listen to, maybe.

I don't really listen to many artists protected by the RIAA.

 

[Rubycon]

A lot of leaches would be better off financially by paying the fine. You know who you are!

She should send her legal bills to the kid's friend.

 

[Eeezee]

No, I refuse to be bitten in the ass by a snake like the RIAA.

The MPAA can blow me as well, although I am slightly more sympathetic to them and might consider admitting to and purchasing a few DVDs Will they refund me any money if I just watch the movie and don't want the extras?

that'd be several grand . . . . I'd just zero out my harddrive if I thought I was in trouble. Music collections are easily rebuilt - money and time, not so much.

Actually, I could probably just delete all of the music that isn't legally free and that I haven't paid for, and be fine - I do own lots of CD's and records, and much of what I listen to comes from Archive.org (legal).

 

[Specop 007]

Considering alot of what I hagve I dont even know where to find the CD....Probably not.

Considering i think RIAA/MPAA are a bunch of damned criminals, definately not.

 

[Dedpuhl]

Although I've had a massive DVD and CD collection, I'd still need to take out a loan to buy everything

 

[0roo0roo]

maybe if music industry workers would pay for every law broken during their lives. no matter how minor. litering..speeding 1mph over..blahbity blah blah

 

[DaveSimmons]

:halo; I buy all of my music, and use Napster to legally try before I buy :halo;

:halo; I get my movies from Netflix and do not burn copies :halo;

So my cost would be right around $0.

 

[Kanalua]

COuldn't afford it anyway...good luck suing!

Actually there are ways to retrieve anything you've deleted on the hard drive, but those people that do that will never tell you how cause they probably work for the government.
