Pirate Party Elected to EU Parliament

[Steevo]

@Steevo: There is no right or wrong, only consequences.

Consequences are caused by a action or reaction and thus weighed and determined against the moral fiber of another to be right or wrong. Thus right and wrong exist, but are totally subjective.



If I post a nude woman in this thread, I will probably get a infraction, and thus it would have been determined that I did wrong. If the mod etc... were to like the image and add that to their fap folder and just remove it with out the infraction being given did I do wrong? By consequence no, but by rule yes, and yet the only weighted factor was the subjectiveness about how nice the tits looked.



I like boobies.

I thought the Netherlands was the place between your privates and your anus. Man you guys are confusing me.

No, no, no. That's the Nether-regions.

blah, blah, blah, saying some stuff that nobody cares about, droning on............
I like boobies.

The only important part of the conversation bolded.

I am torrenting a large set a friend did from TPB right now, and it is .......not illegal. 7GB of music in lossless format.



Still faster than a DVD of it in the mail, and free too, except the long wait.........



And I swear if I hear a song I like i will look it up in the index and buy the song and or CD.

he's talking about pirate copies. in every country theres always one guy willing to download stuff, burn it to a DVD and charge people money for it.

 

[Triprift]

Cd's dont cost more than that before they hit the music stores markup is huge wich equals ripoff.

Then dont buy them. Its still not an excuse to steal.

 

[DrPepper]

Or set up a similar shop and sell them for less than your competitors.

 

[Triprift]

Im just saying from the wholesaler to the stores there seems to be a rediculous markup on many products.

Ok then while we are at it lets go ahead and redfine some other subjective "wrongs". Rape, molestation, murder, kidnapping and assault.

Yup. Its called profit. Don't buy them and the price will go down. Its called supply and demand.

 

[Triprift]

More like greed you could have lower prices and still have companies making huge profits.

 

[TheMailMan78]

Again its simple. Don't buy their product.

 

[Triprift]

Mailman you know were i stand on this as i do with you lets just choose to disagree as your a good man and i dont want to argue.

Agreed. I wish they would lock this damn thing.

I just want to point out that videos and music CDs, the price really never comes down much. They're almost always at around $15 each (starting at $20 and never get less than $10). Games, on the other hand, their price comes way down once the sales figures start to slump from $50 to $15. The game industry reacts to demand where the recording and motion picture industries really don't. I could never figure that out.

in this modern age when production costs are nullified online (no manufacturing, no shipping, no middlemen), people know that they should be getting things cheap. look at steam vs retail, the lower prices make people gobble the games up.

These industries wont allow that, simply because they're full of middlemen who dont want to lose their profits. Cant blame em really, it would suck to have your job taken away by the internet - but they can always move over to internet based stores and make the profit there (less profit per sale, but 100x more sales at least)

A DVD case which most games and videos ship in cost less than a $1. Add in $0.50 (very high estimate) for producing the cover and other material. Add in another $0.50 to copy a disk (very high estimate again). That's at most $2 per CD/DVD sold in retail packaging.

Online, there is are a few factors that weigh in including including the size of the content to be distributed, the monthly charge to the hosts ISP(s), and the average number of times the content is downloaded per user.

There is a point where online distrobution costs far more than retail. What that point is, I can only guess.

Which distrobution method is selling the best, and by how much, is also an industry secret.

you're forgetting labor. it may cost that much to produce, but they dont CHARGE that much.
