I quote stealing because I'm not actually taking it. Its being given to me on the internet. I guess you could more relate it to "Receiving Stolen Goods".<br />If the goods +5in which were given to me are created by someone who's immensely popular and being backed and marketed by huge corporations, then I wouldn't have any remorse receiving said goods and not paying for them..<br />Say Shining in Crimson had been out for about 3 months and the good reviews intrigued me..<br />I look ofr a PDF of it online to download.<br />Looky here, I found it on mediafire.<br />Download it, and read it.<br />I looved it.<br />Great book.<br />If I like it enough to read it again, I'd definitely look into supporting this guy 'Bob', the independent.<br />I'd look for Bob's website/store and check into how much a physical copy would be. as long as its not ridiculously priced, I'd surely order a hard copy. Not only order a hard copy, but I'd spam all my friends who like to read, or like relevant topics to the book to pick up a copy and check it out.<br /><br />I download music all the time to check it out. Sometimes, even if I like the artist I may not buy their album (money constraints usually hold me back), but I'll spam the artist and album to at LEAST 20 of my friends and I'll get at least 1 or 2 of them to buy it instead. I feel that yea, I didn't buy it but in me getting a free copy, I was able to create more revenue for the artists than just my 1 purchase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776550013885964898.post-18631898519669275002011-09-13T06:57:22.593-07:002011-09-13T06:57:22.593-07:00Thanks Saran, I hope you enjoy it!

And to be fair let's just go ahead and through software out on this and stick to music books and films. And this may just be me on this but this is my way of thinking towards it all. For there are several factors that influence my different levels of guilt when it comes to ripping off a creative work. <br /><br />1. Is the artist among the living ? If not, sorry its fair game. <br />2. If said artist is among us living how sucessful have they been ? If I'm ripping off let's say led zepplin vs some random struggling musician let's say like Jonah. Im not gonna feel bad for ripping off the big corporate giant and might think this thing through with someone with a little less stature <br /><br />Something else to consider is the quality of the ripped off work. If I go steal the next deftones album and its a giant turd then more than likely I won't ever listen to it again... In which I don't feel bad for pirating. But if I love it then I usually end up buying it. Just because I'm a nice guy. <br /><br />These artists are professionals and there are no excuses for suck records or films unless they are free in the first place. <br /><br />I'm not gonna sit here and say I bought all 120 gigs of my music library. But I'm also not going to be able to claim the downloading of these files off of the internet either lol. But I do purchase things that I hold in high regard. <br /><br />As far as books go I hate digital copies unless its some sort of manual or how to book. Something that I need to search for stuff if. So yeah. That's just the random thoughts of a guy dropping a deuce. You should have nothing to worry about with me though sir ... Until you figure out a way to put a hardcopy of shining in crimson on demonoid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
