Free Piracy?

February 3rd, 2010 by admin

The RIAA and MPAA are hellbent on convincing the world that content piracy is a sin and must be stopped at all costs in order to preserve their industries.   The truth of the matter is that the technology has made their business model obsolete.   There are plenty of analogies out there that describe what has happened and no matter how often they are spouted in blogs or other media, it doesn’t seem to be getting through to the powers that be.  Now you can search for websites and find an ares free download which will give you access to a free P2P application.

Whale blubber.   That is the most recent analogy to come to light.  Once gasoline came about and replaced whale blubber as the fuel of choice for automobiles, the industry changed.   It’s exactly the same as when automobiles appeared and changed the transportation industry.  We can take note that neither the fuel industry nor the transportation industry died as a result of the changes in technology.   It was just time for a change.   With your ares free download you are just beginning to help bring about the change.   

If we look at the music and movie industry realistically we can see that their current rage at the shift in technology is very interesting.  Every time the technology of music storage changed in the past, the entertainment industries cheered and embraced the changes.   From vinyl to 8 tracks to cassette tapes to Cd’s in music; and from Beta to VHS to DVD in movies.   Those changes were embraced because they meant that the customer base would have to purchase entire collections of music and movies again.  There was no offer to discount loyal fans on their second or third purchase of their media.  File sharing apps until recently have tried their best to get consumer to pay for the right to share information, but now you can get an ares free download and have access to a huge library of files. 

I’m not even sure it can be called piracy anymore. Once you have tens of millions of users out there all committing the same “crime” on a daily basis and not harming anyone, I don’t think its piracy any longer.   It’s simply the nature of the new marketplace.
