Why do we keep interacting with trolls?

[Bryan Brown]

In ten odds years of being on the Web MkI I would say I have downloaded and uploaded around £200k+ of material. I used to collect Vinyl, CD, DVD and it cost me a small fortune in the region of £22K over 18 years I ripped everything and uploaded it to the P2P networks in reasonable quality. If somebody wants to buy a CD they will, you can't beat WAV with Mp3.

I share because it gets the artist and art out there. I have been exposed to more music through P2P networks than from commercial channels. If you share something for free people will come. If you hide it behind a membership the best and most deserving people will not find it.

Do you want to make a small amount of money with memberships and keep the "system" exclusive? or do you want the "system" to be out there, used by people around the world who will make it famous? That is a rhetorical question.

That is just my take on it.

Sounds like you're a thief, plain and simple. For every one artist that gains "exposure" from "Sharing" (Theft), 1000's of others have to work shitty jobs to make ends meet because millions of dollars are robbed out of their pockets. Now, I can understand if the artist or company is already a multi million dollar entity, like watching streams of the UFC online or sharing some Beatles or Metallica tunes, but if the artist or company hasn't achieved that status yet, I personally think that's f'd up. Sure, Eddie does well for himself but he also deserves to make sure his family is taken care of as well. And what's offered, for $5 is a crazy value, less then you spend at McDonalds each week. The mentality that stealing intellectual property is ok is bullshit and veiling it under the guise that you're actually "helping" the owner is equally bullshit, when you are just being greedy and selfish yourself and trying to justify your actions as being morally acceptable.

Oh my goodness are you a twenty nine year old virgin boyscout?

Eagle Scout, and I'm saving myself for love. But thank you for stalking me.

Your not taking into account how 90% of the world actual operates and functions. Internet access is wide spread and yes $5 is a lot of money in most countries. Your ethnocentrism is disheartening.



I didn't imply it. Jon Jones said it. He learned from Youtube videos. His words not mines. To say, I implying all his success was due to Youtube is disingenuous at best.




I have spent plenty money in 10th Planet as a member in the past.

You haven't researched your position at all have you? You have come to a knife fight with a little lolly pop. Perhaps the same one Sarah Palin used.





So its ok to "Steal" (Your words) from the rich but its not ok to "share" (My words) the talented artist work that deserves praise?

All language, all culture and knowledge is borrowed from some other people and place. You didn't invent a single word and here we are using them for free. Once a person creates a formula, sound, move or dance its fair game to copied by other humans and they will remix it. That is how culture and humanity evolved to this point and for what?

We do not own anything. All possessions and thoughts are Intrinsically Illusory and obstacle to knowing the true self.

No one will take you seriously here if you result to insulting people why debating. Done with your childish tactics.
Again if you don't want to spend the money don't, no one is twisting your arm.

If you can afford a computer you can afford paying 5 bucks a month. Only explanation to why you wouldn't be able to afford something that cheap is if you live in Ethiopia, in which case you probably wouldn't be able to afford a computer, or you still live with your mom and she gives you a weekly allowance, cash only.

I spent more money on pokemon cards when I was 12.
