The Royal Canadian Mounted Police won’t track those who download music for personal use, reported the Canadian newspaper Le Devoir.

Piracy for personal use is no longer targeted, “says Noel Hilaire, head of the federal investigations and issues stolen copyrights for the RCMP.

The RCMP has also agreed that this type of crime is not among its priorities. She says she ranks first crimes against intellectual property that have an impact on the health or safety of consumers, as well as those that affect organized crime.

This is a great news for us living in Canada. Alot of people stoped downloading. Today, most will go buy DvDs. Most of them switched behavior because of all the brainwash we are facing…Piracy and copyright infringement is a crime…downloading is a crime…The famous commercial you get before every movie you watch at the theatre. Well not that famous since i was not able to find it.

It’s rare for me not feel ripped off when i get out of a movie presentation. This piracy movement is a clear message to these producers: Lower your prices and add some intelligent content to your stories.

It’s hard to go after the people downloading material when there is not even detailed Laws on the matter.

 Let’s say I pay 10$ to watch “Downfall”. A movie worth to see, I will have to pay another 20$ for the DvD!!!
 
 I bought my movie, I’m alloud to view it as many times as i want. Now what about my brother, he is aloud to watch it with me or is it copyright infringement?

 If i want to lend my owned copy to a friend and he decides to watch it with his family, three of his friends, his girlfriend and dog. Are they in copyright infringement?

 Let’s say I’m scared to lose or scratch my DvD and I burn a backup copy, am I doing something illegal?

 If I download the movie instead of purchasing the DvD, am I in copyright infringement since I already paid at the theatre? What if I paid to watch the presentation, I bought the DvD, and I decide to download the same data. Is it illegal?
 The movie will finally appear on TV, we all grew up with a video recorder and copyed what we found interesting. Was that copyright infringement?

 What is the difference when we download some data? It relies on the speed and way we obtain the information now. People now rip TV-shows directly on their servers. The data is available almost instantly after the end of the show.

 All this to say there is a vast disparity between copyright law and copyright norms. We are all in copyright infringement, a little example could be a twelve year old girl taking a picture of her friends with a known painting in the background.

The only thing I can say is KEEP DOWNLOADING. The music industry doesnt really care about the poor customers.

back in the days the blank cd’s were 3.00$ and the stors sells the music cd for about 17,99$ … ok not a big deal.

But know the blank cd are only $0.02 (even less, trust me) and the price at the store for music cd is still the same 17,99$ price.

Actualy what it demonstrat is the music industry are making more money and they just dont give a f*** about customers.

Guess what ! Even if I like the artist or the movie or whatever else , I WILL NOT BUY THE ORIGINAL CD/DVD. (I will also not delete the file after 24h).

We call that a PBT ( I like to use acronyms , it make you feel an expert in the field. hahahha)

*PBT stand for PAY BACK TIME.

By the way can anybody explain me why Universal Music is putting videos online on youtube ??
http://youtube.com/user/universalmusicgroup

Well if they do , it must be because it’s a good investissment. Actualy I will be nice and kind to share it on Bittorent also…

How about that http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/

160 gig storage. Apple also says “up to 40,000 songs or up to 200 hours of video ”

Listen homies, I tell you a secret.
NO ONE HAS 40,000 of legal MP3….NO ONE.

Let’s do the math.
A regular CD cost 18$ for 18 tracks (ok I know , usually is less 18 tracks).

(18$/18) * 40,000 = 40,000$

It’s the price a Mercedes Benz.
So what I suggest it’s to go to the local subway and bust all the nerds with an ipod… you have 99,9% to caught him with illegal mp3’s.

Anyway , what I want to say to music industry is to take care of the customers, just like thepiratebay.org does … it’s fantastic, you go on the website , you have bunch of movies (also music) to watch and while you are making your choice they provide you banners with sexy girls … you see , they know how to take care of us.

Ok, I have to go , someon is knocking at my door to sell me a subscription for Columbia House.
