Where Did Piracy Laws Come From?.. Do You Think It Takes Away To Much Of Your Freedom?

before the days of Television & Movies there would have been no piracy..
I you went into a big city & watched a play & went back to you little town & reenacted the play for your town. That would be the closest you would get to piracy back in those days..
I the record days people didn’t have the resources to copy there own records. so it would have been to stop other company’s mass producing
But now CDs & DVDs are cheap & we have the internet at own fingertips piracy is a big time..
But we are not selling to other people.. Musicians can still make money from concerts, movies can still make money from television or the theators,
so should it be the goverments place to tell us what we can & cant download for our own personal use..
Its our internet connection, Our pc’s, our electricity, our CDs or DVDs..
If I go out & take a picture of you walking your dogs & put it on my PC its not illegal so why is piracy Illegal if your not selling,
If you really really want to see a movie you pay the $10 to see it on a big screen or you hire the DVD cause the quality should be better..
& if you really like a band you see them live & pay for tickets..
Anyway What are you thoughts..
I think maybe that could have free movie downloads with ads running along the bottom of them like google adsense or something. Or at least
have movies a lot cheaper to buy like the same price as renting or cheaper to own the DVD forever & maybe $2-3 for a new release Music cd , Don’t tell me about printing costs because they can print to order.. & cheaply otherwise there would be piracy.

Yes, I like being a pirate. I fancy myself as Johnny Depp with a mean streak. Rob, pillage, burn baby burn.

Google “admiralty law” and read, baby, read. Piracy and the laws against it have only been around for a few thousand years.

Turn it around, Busta. Let’s say you’re some big-time rapper or singer or writer, and people start copying your work – enough that you start losing serious money – say, $500,000 a year. Are you going to do something about it? Especially if you only make maybe $200,000 a year now?
Bet you would. And I bet you’d be on the other side of the piracy issue in a heartbeat.

Your analogy is way off, as is the rest of your thinking.
Pirates, remember them? stole things. Piracy is stealing, plain and simple. It is just a cooler word than stealing… “Internet Stealing” just doesn’t have the ring of “Piracy! (aarggghhhh)”
Your so called arguments are old, have been used a thousand times before, and didn’t work then either. It is stealing, calling it anything else doesn’t change the fact.

It is completely legal to record music and movies at your home for personal use. You can get programs like Audacity to allow you to record streaming music from the internet. The law gets fuzzier when you talk about actual downloading of music. Since the laws are fuzzy, I think that’s why they seem to only take legal action against people who distribute/upload music or movies for others. There are always loopholes to exploit.
No artists are starving or on the street because of music downloading. I just dislike the use of extortion by the RIAA to make up for profits it thinks it has lost. Making someone pay almost $2 million for uploading a few dozen songs is completely unjustified.
And another thing, I can go to the library and check out every CD they have. I can go home and burn all of those CDs to my computer. That is legal. The artists are not getting paid a dime if I do that. It is no different than downloading from the internet, except that one is legal and one is not.
