(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If any of you guys haven't heard of TED talks, it is a convention set up buy some folks at Silicon Valley and a group of tech/arts/science/entertainment gurus come along and talk about the latest and greatest.

This one came out earlier and I found it hilarious to see the extravagant claims the music and film industry come up with. Watch it, laugh and enjoy.

There are many others on the site which you will have to experience like the reCaptcha.

Negative job loss made me laugh hard. The music and movie industries are just money hungry faggots.

They expect that every song that we download we'd have bought when the reality is that we probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

Goes to show you.....media companies only want tougher laws on copyright to protect there current business model
It funny they are only industry which we are allowing to protect a outdated business model. Maybe banks too

Time to see piracy as a service problem and fix your service guys.
TED being good as always

Great Idea. I'm going to make a mix CD and sell it for $1million.

Yeah thats a good point, If people couldn't download it they would probably just do without.

If i couldnt get my music for free, wouldn't even bother with it.

If people were stealing from your business wouldn't you want to stop the theft?
