Pirating Music, DVDs, Cinema, Art, and other such media is WRONG!!!

Pirating software has already been discussed and possible benefits of pirating software (for the companies) have been given, but what about pirating DVDs and Music? Is that ethical? How can that even be justified? It can’t. Pirating Music and m

Pirating is still theft, it doesn't make it right just because somehow it benefits both the maker and the thief. .

I'm an artist and having my efforts pirated is very stressful and aggravating. The only person who should be making money off of my artwork is ME. I agree, anyone caught doing that should be prosecuted. .

When is comes to music as well, you can argue "everyone does it", but when it comes time for you to answer to the authorities, you have no defense. You will take the punishment dished out to you. Its not right no matter how easy or common it is.

Pirating is stealing someone's livelihood, its robbing them of the chance to make fair and clean money. They spent the time to make it, what gives you the right to rape the system and take it without any effort or pay on YOUR part? It's WRONG!!! .

I like to sample what I am getting before I invest in it. It's like buying a car. You wouldn't buy the car based on looks without ever checking under the hood, test-driving it, or checking how well it fits your lifestyle and preferences, would you?

Sampling a song or complete album or watching a film downloaded from LimeWire before you get the DVD for the bonus features is fine.

Using it to make profit for yourself, on the other hand? That's just stupid.

this may not be the best arguement but i am a musician and i practically encourage people to download my music for free because i would rather people be appreciating my music than having money for it.
