Whenever you rent a movie, the multinational media industry forces you to watch their propaganda. They claim that [downloading movies is the same as snatching bags, stealing cars or shoplifting]. That's simply not true -- making a copy is fundamentally different from stealing. The media industry has failed to offer viable legal alternatives and they will fail to convince consumers that sharing equals stealing. Unfortunately, they have succeeded in another area -- lobbying to adapt laws to criminalize sharing, turning consumers into criminals. They argue that their laws are necessary to [support artists], but in reality all they're protecting is their own profits. The Greens in Europe and worldwide has been opposing these laws. We believe that consumers are willing to pay if offered good quality at a fair price. We also believe that sharing is expanding culture -- not killing it. To protest against the faulty propaganda from the industry, we made our own film. The difference is -- you can choose whether you want to watch this one. http://www.iwouldntsteal.net/

Jan 24, 2008 - You should support the artist(s) of your choise. You should not be forced to support sub-saharan african folk music simply because someone in Nepal likes to download the latest Britney Spears album. Governments should not be responsible for those who are unable or unwilling to adjust their business plans to fit with the technology of the time. If they are, then down with refrigerators and back with icehouses!

Jan 24, 2008 - Music is not a commodity such as a refrigiretor. Culture needs to be preserved and there are none other then the state who can do that in a responsible and fair manner. You cannot trust a private company to digitize, make available and finance the cultural development of our society. Culture has always been sponsored by the state all the way back to the civilisation of the greek. Quality and popularity of music can be measured by an independant statistics entity controlled by the state.

Jan 24, 2008 - Who will decide who gets what then? We at the Pirat Partiet (Pirate Party of Sweden) have discussed this question many times and deemed it a bad idea, it would be nice if it could be solved that easily but unfortunately the world isn't that simple.

Jan 24, 2008 - I find it funny how you could possibly think this has anything to do with terrorism, are you really that brainwashed?

Jan 24, 2008 - Great Vid. Free the art, doesn't necessarily mean free art, and twisting the phrase to make it say steal the art is a dastardly distortion of a benign future vision, perpetrated by mustache twirling, multi-national, corporate villains.

Jan 24, 2008 - Use the computer and the Internet to measure popularity and use users ratings and usage statistics to measure quality of content. Then it's quite easy to redistribute all that money fairly to all artists.

Jan 25, 2008 - It would be easy but it would also be a violation of constitutional rights, if done in the US.
Charbax Says:
Jan 25, 2008 - The user would voluntarilly instal a scrobbler software that monitors and recommends music and movies based on the users ratings. Not all users need to have that software installed, but the more users have it, the better the representative statistics of all users activity is. It's like for measuring TV audiences today, only like less than 1% have a monitoring device installed on their TV.

Feb 4, 2008 - More importantly- why are senators getting involved in not only "piracy" but the steroids controversies in the MLB, and the "SpyGate" drama from the NFL? Are we really paying these people for this?
BackstrokeOfTheWest Says:

gotrice333 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Wait, I'm confused. So this commercial is actually telling us to pirate?
WppFilms Says:
Aug 29, 2008 - Its a pro piracy comercial. There is a anti piracy comercial called You Wouldnt Steal, which is often shown at the beggining of dvds. The comercial does different "you wouldnt steal" scenarios such as "you wouldnt steal a car" and "you wouldnt steal a handbag" at the end of a comercial it says something like "so dont steal movies" "piracy is stealing" blah blah blah. This comercial is a play on that.
