naturally like your web-site however you have to test the spelling on several
of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very
troublesome to inform the reality then again I’ll certainly come back again.

Unquestionably believe that that you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to take
into accout of. I say to you, I definitely get irked at the same time
as folks consider worries that they just don’t realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

Mike Van Horn – you are answering a spammer, I’m afraid. If you google his text, you will find the exact same wording entered 1580 times all over the internet to do some kind of search engine optimisation (SEO) scam. My tip to Fréderic is just to delete it… (along with this comment, if you like)

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for beginner blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

For the one of you able to read french, here is an interesting article about the link between “Hadopi” (french law to protect artists’ production from theft and piracy) and the rise of iTunes sale :

http://www.lemonde.fr/technologies/article/2012/01/24/hadopi-source-de-la-croissance-d-itunes_1633919_651865.html

And here is the US study from with the conclusions come up :

http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1989240

The conclusions of the Amercian Researchers go somehow in Frédéric Filloux’s direction too ; I’ll translate it that way : “Everyday easy access to content is more valuable than occasional simple free content”.

I don’t think of it as “We all sinned”. I just can’t believe the people that have no idea what was in the bills other than the filtered news spin. This completely ignores that Congress sat on its butt for 6 months, finally put a payroll extension and short term budgets out, going on long early vacation, and couldn’t agree on anything for us. Then the first thing they do back, after a multimillion dollar RIAA, MPAA lobbying effort, put out bills from both houses and parties to bypass due process and attempt a China style internet censorship and seizure of domains that might link or are accused by the media MAFIAAs of enabling connection to blacklisted foreign sites or material MAFIAAs want censored… And now the argument is if stealing copyrighted stuff is wrong? It’s against the law for a reason, the argument should be is it right for current attempts to shut down independents or “enablers” before due process.

Huh, another ‘I sinned but so did you’ article?

Well, for what it’s worth, there are less hypocrite people out there, which are stung by others like you.

Guess putting yourself in the favourable social party didn’t make you all that invulnerable to criticism did it?

Yes, you are one huge hypocrite, congratulations.

Stopping pirating is easy. LOWER YOUR PRICE to a level where it becomes ‘inconvenient’ to pirate vs just paying for the product. I’ll bet my left leg you can find a price point where you actually make MORE money by lowering your price and having more people purchase your products.

[...] In der Musikindustrie wird Filesharing seit längerem als Messung von Marktanteilen genutzt: BigChampagne’s clients can pull up information about popularity and market share (what percentage of file-sharers have a given song). They can also drill down into specific markets – to see, for example, that 38.35 percent of file-sharers in Omaha, Nebraska, have a song from the new 50 Cent album. [...]

UV is a Unique Visitor / Unique Viewer – a measure used when counting users of web services. It is based on putting an information cookie on the users’ computers. As long as the cookie isn’t removed (most people don’t bother) until the next visit, it makes sure that the same user isn’t counted several times.

UV might just mean User Views, though I’m not sure. It would mean that many people clicked on a page or accessed content. You probably have greedy MIAA, RIAA execs who don’t think the feds have cronied quite enough for them, even though websites got taken down for a year with no due process, trying to calculate all those views are people using BitTorrent should have bought something from them, and calculating billions in losses not forcing them to go through them for all content.
I figure if they got millions to throw around at Congress, like the millions used to lobby for SOPA and PIPA, they got plenty of money and don’t need to squeeze us more, getting rid of that pesky due process and requirement of proof before shutting websites down China-style.

I’m not sure that’s the point. It’s like saying copying people is part of homework. You’re not taking anything away from them, but it’s also unnecessary and not right. According to Slate and others, the US doesn’t have a big piracy problem costing billions of dollars as lawmakers are saying, partially because they are estimating all the people downloading content, and also deciding those people would have bought their overpriced products, both wrong.
I do believe fair use is a right that was whittled away by the RIAA and other big players. I’m not saying copying people is right, but taking away constitutional due process from everyone just because you want taking anyone down to be easier and own a few politicians is just corporate fascism at its finest.

Fact is, if services like NetFlix were available to other countries, the piracy levels would drop. Unfortunately though, these services are still blocked off from the rest of us non-US citizens, enforcing idiotic draconian censorship/publishing rights laws. The loser at the end of the day is us, the user, so we are stuck with two choices. 1. Download a pirate copy. 2. Wait X (up to months in some cases) amount of time for your local broadcaster to take their thumbs out of their collective asses, to watch shows, that are actually old.

Oh please. What do you think Microsoft would prefer: having Windows pirated in China, or having everyone start using Linux in China, and drop their market share by 30%?

It might not be Microsoft’s ideal scenario, but they sure prefer it to 30% or more of the world using Linux.

Given that Filesonic and Fileserve have both caved and others are about to as well, you’ll have good use for that BitTorrent client now. I’d still like someone to make a case for my episodes of subtitled Braquo taking money out of someone’s pocket when that series isn’t being shown here in the U.S. and is probably very unlikely ever to be shown. The same for Forbrydelsen 1 and 2 (AMC’s The Killing? Puhleeze!). In my case, it’s Halite as client. And I’ll be damned if I’ll ever apologize for it.

Great article, I couldn’t agree more.

In Poland most of the stuff available in the States becomes available after months if not years. If I could buy access to say, Dexter on-line directly from showtime, I wouldn’t have to stream it. I wouldn’t even mind the ads, or paying for the content. In fact I’ve been looking for it on blu ray but it’s just not available. So in the mean time I watch it as it’s aired on-line… I’m going to buy the film on blu ray or DVD when it eventually comes out anyway – so I don’t see it as stealing… I just care about time.

Although on another note I do believe it’s really unfair that companies that distribute content don’t take into account purchasing power parity when deciding on pricing strategy for their products on foreign markets. In fact most of the time, products that originate in the USA (even if production is taking place in China) are actually twice more expensive in much poorer countries, like Poland. The Polish currency is 3 times weaker than the US dollar, plus purchasing power makes the difference even larger. Recently I tried to purchase a legal version of photoshop on-line. I found the site, the price in dollars – 600 and when I tried to log in to download it, the currency conversion plus the additional margin made my product 6 times more expensive!!! That’s ridiculous! I mean it’s the same product, downloaded from the same website so why this ridiculous price…?
This argument applies to the whole Microsoft loosing money in China thing… If Chinese Microsoft sold it’s products at a price more adjusted to Chinese realities I’m pretty sure they’d make up for the loss from the reduced price by sheer volume.

I really do hope these acts don’t go through in the EU…
