Piracy is becoming a very serious issue. It is not a question of money, it is turning into an ideology or already it is.

When a new software is released, many times a very expensive software, it is very soon available. From where did come this software? Someone had to purchase it first, someone that had the money, have purchased it and then put to share. To crack a software is not difficult, but even so it requires some effort and time and the person that do it did not get any profit doing it because is released for free.

I have seen full 80 GB BlueRay rips, imagine uploading 80 GigaBytes!!! Someone must have to purchase the BlueRay, rip it, have a very fast internet conection, pay a hosting site and spend one day or more uploading it and the person get no money for his effort, even he/she/it had to spend money to do this.

Once uploaded it reproduces and spreads, but even the matrix is for free the reproduction process requires effort, time and money. You have to download the matrix, upload it at several sites and every time is removed from the site due copyrights, you have to upload it again. Time, internet bandwidth, efforts and you get no money doing this.

 

As I said before, it is not a question of money, it is a question of ideology. Every day more and more people are revolted against copyright laws, patents and the exhorbitant profits of the companies. I know of musiciand, once very famous, that didn't get a single cent for his work, all the copyright money goes to the recording comapny and nothing to the artist. Even I, am revolted by this subversion of copyright laws that protect nothing the artists, the real creators;

Stupidity also evolves!
