Net Providers Give Illegal Downloads warnings

[ItzShowtime]

So apparently internet providers are going to attempt to give warnings out to people that download stuff illegally. I don't really see this working out very well.

i would click it
but idkk

Lol

They should just ask google to drop illegal hosting sites off their serch engines or their own for that matter.
But seeing how they have not tried that i can only assume they can't.
Not to mention i highly doubt google would hide such highly search searched links that generate them profit.
In short expect nothing to change.
I suspect this "please don't download illegal" approach is just there way of saying "Well, i tried" Without actually doing anything

 

[Hypemaster]

that idea is going to fail miserably

 

[YokoKurama]

I don't know why they would even bother. There is always going to be a way to get around that kind of stuff.

 

[Young Thug]

What? I can't hear them over the sound of me illegally downloading Django.

yea, but it is most likely only going to affect the people that have no idea what they are doing when they download

It's amusing, to me, how much money they waste in their attempts to curtail the sharing of copyrighted content when several studies have shown that illegal downloads do not represent sales lost. In the vast majority of cases, the purchase would not have been made. Other studies have shown that an individual downloading music 'illegally' is also far more likely than the average person to make a purchase of an album or game. People are more apt to purchase what they find they enjoy.

Then, you have places like China, that do stuff like this:

.... And they are given trade concessions.

*sigh* Just can't win for losing.

thanks to piracy everything is done so f*** complicated ...

It might sound funny or absolutely bizzare.. but downloading pirate files is illegal and our actions online/real life - are the same - it's stealing


in 2012 game called Kingdoms of Amalure went bankrupt because of planed 2mil sellary they only got 1,5... I'm pretty sure that those ''pirate'' versions we're more than enough to save them from failing. Not only it kills gaming industry but it slows down it's progress

the only thing that i ever do, that would be considered piracy is stream anime/tv shows and read some scanned manga(if that even counts). I've always been a console player so pirating games has never been tempting for me. and ever since i got spotify i have no reason to download songs
