Ok lets look at these positive and negative consequences of piracy

The Positive

-Free Games
-Make you own business off of someone else's work
-And Free Games

The Negative

-Its illegal
-It takes away the hard work for the producers that work their ass off
-It killes the system
-It makes companies stricter about their system/platform "cough sony cough"

I think piracy is stupid, think about it would you like to make a really awesome song, you give it to your friends let say for $5, and then someone else take your song and starts selling it for $2.50 and his going to probably make more money off your item for his half price reduction. Wouldn't you get mad and furious

Now this is way sony is so strict on their systems A.K.A PS3, because the pirates are going to get their games for free and the companies their not getting in return which leads to the companies that have a partnership with sony not make products for them. Lets map it out to understand it

New PS3/Xbox Game>Everyone loves it>pirates see that and know they will get money off of this>they pirate it for lets say 25% off>people start getting that one instead of buying the one the producers made>The producers starting getting mad that their not getting the money that they deserve and realize that they cant keep making games for PS3/Xbox because instead of making more money, their making less.

So to what I think is going to happen once pirates figure out to sign their pirated games to run on a retail PS3, companies arn't going to rely on sony's "secure" system anymore and stop making games for us.

This is titled just as an opinion of mine, I'm not against the hacking/ CFW (I was in the PSP Scene) but what I'm actually against is the pirating. I also hope that once Backup Manager comes out signed, you guys use it how it was suppose to be used, to play our backups not to play pirated games

Feel free to disagree with me, agree, and add you own opinion on this

Yea I understand what you mean but look also at the people behind Black Ops, the art designers, the graphics designers, the programers, the online programers

They all work very hard (except the online programers) to make this game, even if it was crash But you do have a good point

Well put. I think this idea is the same for music producers as well. They're so greedy to begin with, not to mention they destroy families by imposing $100,000+ fines. I think some companies/producer deserve it.

I agree with it. In my town we have one place that sells music, and that's second hand CD's. Sure, you can buy them off the internet but what if the family doesn't have internet? How do they get their CD's? They can't. Supermarkets sell pop music which not everyone likes. If they don't want piracy then they should build a record store in every town, whether it's owned by a record company, or a small business. Same with DVD's. Recently we have had a few more places that sell DVD's, but again supermarkets don't have every DVD out and the other places are second hand.

Yes I Do......

when people download a bunch of games it doesnt seem to bother me but everytime i see some jagoff, or whoever selling HK versions of 9999999 zillion in 1 at a kiosk in the mall it just sets me off to all hell

Piracy isn't strictly limited to video games you know. There is music, programs, movies, and shows as well. I fully support people who wish to download music or movies without having to pay. Why? Because these ****s who produce these movie or make these songs or create these programs are multimillionaire's and they don't need any more of my hard earned money. They say there, sung a song, and got paid $100 Million for it. It's ridiculous. However, what I don't believe in is people profiting off of piracy. The reason piracy started was so people' could acquire copyrighted works for free. Yet people get these for free and then sell them. Those are the people whom I hate. Otherwise, I am all for it.

Nuff Said.
