The company I worked for has seen its monthly sales reduce by 65% so far this year. Even though (strangely)you can visit almost any pub/club or music venue in the UK and hear our products being played. People say the big companies can handle it, maybe they can - but just think about the small independants who operate on a shoe string mainly for the love of the genre who are forced to go under because of selfish people who aren't prepared to pay for someone elses hard work and effort. So when my mortgage is due in a week or two and my bank manager is asking why my overdraft hasn't been paid and visa are asking for a minimum payment to be met but I haven't got anything to give them, should I will remind myself that piracy doesn't hurt anyone?

I suppose this does count as copyright infringement as i like to keep a whole series on my computer. What about ebay, does buying a second hand cd count as infringement or as the original owner has paid for it, is it excluded. Shouldn't this be the same for software as some software torrents were paid for before they were uploaded. Hooray for Demonoid, I hope it will be back soon

They mention that this is because of the CRIA that they have to block traffic. May need to use a proxy in the US for access. Ok, so now it looks like they are blocking Canadian IP’s from access.

If their provider cut them off, or they are having other problems, it may take several days to come back. Even if they do not come back, there are plenty of other places to get your stuff.

for those across the ocean, let’s convert : 1€ = 1.4$
so 1 seat at the movies’ = 11.9$
1 new dvd = 41.86$
2 yo dvd = 27.86$
5 yo = 13.86$

seems fair prices to you ?
