[QUOTE="Travace, post: 98326, member: 111"] yea thats true with music... ohh and Itunes got smart and removed the DRM and BAM sales went up. for me... i will never use itunes again. I purchased a song for 1$ the DL started. The DL stopped. the file was never put on my PC anywhere. They would not allow me to re DL or give me credit and pretty much stone walled me on the phone. NEVER AGAIN :prof: as for the youtube thing... if its not royalty free or have permission i can not add an advertisement. :ontopic: Pirating is a pretty complicated subject. there is so many different media's to think about and then there is all the ways that the media is used to think about as well. i dont see a problem with sharing media but when you are trying to profit off someone elses stuff is not cool. The only reason this is a issue these days is because of the internet. 20 years ago when you bought a VHS tape went to a friends house and showed it to him.
