Music, films, TV etc.

Do you do it? Does it bother you? Are you really against it, should people have to pay for their music etc?

[Princess]

I do pay for my music. I only illegally download if I literally can't find the song anywhere(I don't have iTunes which makes this difficult)

[Crimson Dynamo]

my heart bleeds for the record biz and the pop singers...drip....drip....drip

[Captain.Remy]

I do illegal downloading. I get music directly from Youtube. I don't download movies that much, I do download TV series a LOT like Lost, Ugly Betty, Nip/Tuck, Big Brother etc... because I will have to wait one year to get these in France so I'd rather have them now.

[Tom]

I think its disgusting

I'm off to check how my Windows 7 Torrent is doing.

[biglover]

I do it, just like the majority of people on here and that i know, why the hell should we pay like a Ł1 a song on itunes when you can get them for free even quicker. There all multi-million aires anyway, Lilly Allen can go **** her self with her little campaign

[ILoveTRW]

why pay for something you can get free

Yes if you are doing a Illegal Download
you are a Thief.

Cut their Internet speed down to Emails only type.

[Jords]

I do all the time, except the X-Factor charity single, I downloaded from Itunes

[Crimson Dynamo]

I illegally downloaded some quorn, to save on packaging.

[Spike]

I download TV shows and I don't think thats bad because unless people have a BARB box, which measures their viewing for viewing figures, then nobody is losing money. Also with US shows its so easy to see spoilers if you don't watch the episode close to the US airdate. So I don't see a problem with illegally downloading TV shows.

Music and film downloading are worse because people are losing out on a potential profit. I rarely download films, only ever if im unsure I will like it and after viewing the downloaded version I will go and buy the DVD if I like it.

I am guilty of illegally downloading music but if the music is good enough then I will buy the album, tour tickets and merchandise.

I'm not against illegal downloading because even with it a profit can be made for example from the sale of the DVD TV boxset, the film DVD or the music tour

[Firewire]

Yes lol.

Music (I'll buy charity songs)
TV Shows (e.g. Gossip Girl, Glee, Big Brother USA)

Not really films though.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Anything that would annoy that Pikey Lilly Allen must be a good thing, non?

[Patrick]

I download music and videos directly from Youtube.

I couldnt give a **** about how sad artist feel over this.
I also dont understand why some pricks go out and waste money on an album they can listen to and download on the PC.

Waste Money on a CD - never

As your Download is Compressed
so it is poor quality.



Kids of Today
do not want quality.

Not on Amazon with Free P&P

[Captain.Remy]

I'm still pi$$ed that, from the 1st of January 2010, the French Government will have the power to cut your internet connection off for a year but you'll still pay for it if you ever get caught while downloading. I'm so gonna get caught because I do download, but my sister does it too (yeah, she does download crappy TV shows like Gossip Girl, One Three Hill, Grey's Anatomy, Paris' Hilton BFF...)

So yeah, I'm pi$$ed.

[Ross]

iTunes for Music.
I buy films in HMV/Tesco.

I never really download unless there's already a download link for me, I wouldn't go searching.

That's not that bad actually. In other countries you can get fined thousand of dollars plus jail time.

Well, I forgot to explain that if you get caught once, they send you an e-mail then you must not download for 3 months. If you still download within the 3 months, you receive a letter, you must not download for a year.
If you get caught within the year, you go to the court, get your internet connection cut off AND depending on the amount of downloads, you get fines + jail time.

Yeah cos Ugly Betty is real quality TV.

I do download, but if I really love an album and it's rereleased then I'll go buy the rereleased on physical. If it's a new artist then i'll buy on iTunes. But when it's someone like Britney or Leona, I personally don;t think they a) deserve the money when they have **** all to do with the making of it and b) will miss the money seeing as they're loaded as it is. And if it's an artist I support til I like die - so really only Christina Aguilera - then i always buy what she does physically.

I might download a movie the odd time and I go through phases of downloading TV shows but atm Glee is the only one I download every week.

Yeah it's amazing.

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

I convert my music from youtube which is handy and allows me to get remix's of songs I otherwise wouldn't get.

I watch a tv show on the internet sometimes, I don't download them to the computer though, i just watch them on the site.

I always buy films, or rent from local store. I don't download films. I hate watching Pirate movies, I can't enjoy something if the quality isn't as good.
