It is an interesting thing as I sit here pondering this news item actually.
I know of one friend that reacted rather in a hostile fashion over this news. He was not at all pleased.
Problem is, that same friend indulges watching films that can be found online sometimes before they even actually get into the theater. He is his own enemy essentially.
Mankind has opened quite the pandora's box with the creation of the internet.
Everything goes, anything is possible.
I watch with interest comments on copywrite. I have heard the professional writers take on the subject, as well as musicians. People that make software games as well as people that just interact with the online world.
The sad reality, is I DON'T know anyone, not one person, that has not in there own personal way benefited or employed the interent in some manner to get something they did not pay for, that before the internet would have cost them cash in order to obtain it.
I have heard persons claim they are snow white, but hmm please don't bother trying to convince me.
Valve has sure learned a hard lesson through this experience.
But I think the bigger lesson here is, there is no going back in time.
If I had to make a living selling something, what with today's world being what it truely is, it wouldn't be music, film, or software.
It just seems to unrewarding.
