Convicted music pirate asks Supreme Court to review case | PCWorld
Hopefully the Supreme Court will review this case. The RIAA and the MPAA have over the years used heavy handed tactics, litigation and political influence to stop and punish file sharers. In many cases the person who is sued is not the downloader but the person who owns the IP address. This presents the notion that you are guilty before proving yourself innocent. The RIAA and the MPAA accuses a person of downloading them that person must prove themselves innocent. Also numerous studies have shown that people how illegally download songs and movies are more Likely to purchase digital media than non-downloaders. There has to be a better way for the companies to address piracy without suing a large part of their customers.
I would only buy once. Buying a movie or a song more than once seems redundant.
ReplyDeleteI can understand upgrading to blu-ray or a better quality copy, but to have a copy to watch on all of my devices should be included in the initial purchase
