You won't stop piracy and I've posted many, many ways for people to limit the damage.

You didn't read it wrong. You just didn't read it.
Yes you are allowed to comment on blackmail being bad. Pirates blackmail content owners over the fact that there actions shouldn't be stopped because innocent people will be caught up in their mess is also blackmail.

No I have never read any of your suggestions on how we limit piracy. I have read these comments you made and others about piracy.

No-one said Brazzers do not make money from stealing content and putting it on a tube site Pauly, did they?

I said it wasn't worth bothering trying to stop piracy because it doesn't represent a lost sale.


The RIAA recently agreed with me. You like them, so you must now agree with them?
And about RIAA giving up on suing pirates.

I find it interesting that the printing press was originally thought of as "piracy".

People who are failing love to blame something. Why not blame piracy, rather than say, "being shit"? Much easier!
I have made threads and many posts about the quality of the product we sell and how to improve it. Never aver seen one from you.

And there's more.

And it is not worth bothering with because you will never, ever stop it.

If you are still struggling here is further reading:

Electronic Arts says that it understands how an illegally downloaded copy is not, in any way, a copy that was lost as a sale to the company

http://news.softpedia.com/news/EA-Ad...es-94516.shtml

Judge James P. Jones gave his opinion on United States of America v. Dove, a criminal copyright case, ruling that each illegal download does not necessarily equate to a lost sale

Hope that helps. Anything else you don't understand feel free to email me privately to save you embarrassing yourself further.

Love

Damian
So all the downloaders are 14 year old kids and by a sale not lost do you mean a sale picked up by a pirate off pirated content?

Your own posts show where your heart is.

Now post how you think we can limit the damage of pirating on content owners to show you have a clue. I'm sure many hear have not heard it, so they are waiting for your knowledge.
