i remember about 10 years ago when NAPSTER first came out, the hype it caused and everyone wanting IN on this new thing, that you were able to get music from anyone you wanted, rare recordings no longer available in stores, all with a click of the mouse... then came the news of how if downloaded anything infringing the copyright laws of the USA you would be on the "black list" and get called in for questioning and possibly even go to jail. i remember thinking how cool this all was, that the internet was so new and already people were inventing ways of communication and exchange. everyone was in awe of how it all worked.
a few years past, all threats about jail and whatever else subsided, then came youtube, and trailing along the famous bitorrent, and P2P... i personally started using the P2P in 2005, looking for old movies i couldnt find anywhere, soon the curiosity took over and i started looking for new tittles and recent books i had read...
after moving back to brazil, i was stripped of all my favorite series, so i started looking them up, and thanks to EzTV i can always get my "amaericana" fix, i get dexters hot off the shelf, loose myself with the whole series downloads and preview a movie before i actually go into the theaters... in no way this limits me to only downloading... but once i ve seen it on my little lap screen, if the movie is good is then i have no problem shelling out the 20 bucks to see it in the big screens!
the opening tittles of "Steal This Film- Part 1 " says Hollywood lost 7.1 BILLION dollars to piracy!!!! 7.1 BILLION!!!!!!! just imagine what that money could have done!
however the industry is not worried about world hunger, education or heAlth.. they are only worried about their pockets, and new cars, or the biggest blood diamond for their wife and mistress... so i say: GODSPEED Pirate Bay!!!! Long Live the Pirates!!!!!
the internet existed long before "we the people" were allowed in it! when they gave us access they limited what we could reach, but now.... oh now........ we have brilliant minds at work liberating us from chains and cells, giving us freedom to the all great World Wide Web!
