Agreed.Using P2P software is not piracy, Using it to obtain copyrighted content is.
Simple as that.
Many of u r telling that as long as the content is copyrighted but shared it is piracy.But u know most of the torrent trackers be it public or private sharing this kind of thing.
Get ur facts clear.
Torrent trackers don't share anything.
They provide us the technology and we, users use or misuse it.
[GYAN]
The files are not stored in any server owned by the trackers, but actually stored in the some user's PC. So, if u don't have it, u can't pirate it. Got it?? [/GYAN]
my question is that y r we encouraging crime ????
A couple go on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and takes a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a forest policeman in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the policeman.
"That's true," replied the woman, "But you have all the equipment."
Surprisingly 50% of the people agree that its piracy !!!
Vote only after you get your facts right, and then post to debate on the topic.
Torrenting is only a tech. What people use it for *may* be illegal, but torrenting as such is not.
For all those n00bs who voted for "Yes", try and see if you can understand this [18+] joke below. I guess thats the nearest illustration in real life that I can give you:
Hey, I sometimes use torrents to share my files - files that I created like videos. Is that piracy? I don't think so. Bittorrent is a technology. It can be used or missused. Let's say, CDs are used to distribute pirated movies. So that makes CDs piracy, right?
Because they have none. I don't understand what is the 'debate' about here anyway! Can someone explain to me, especially the thread starter, as to why is a technology to distribute data considered as piracy?good going guys..
polls shows 50-50 but only some people r posting there opinion voted for 'no' those who voted for 'yes',why are not they posting the reason !!
