Piracy irony

The Pirate Bay documentary comes out today. The guy that made the film had a page up yesterday telling people where they can download it from. He said to feel free to download it and share it with your friends etc, but don't try to resell it or make money using it.

It struck me funny that the people he made the movie about make money by supplying access to other people's work, yet he doesn't want you to do that to his.

Oh so it would be irony to make a movie about a pimp but not want to be pimped out?

OK.

They are an absurd group. I hope it gets blasted across the internets.

OK.


Are you really black? I don't believe you.

The analogy you've come up with is woefully irrelevant.

What happened with this was that a pimp GOT pimped, but not out.

OK wait. He doesn't want people making money on it. He wants people to trade it around. How is that different then what he was already doing?

Here is why I find it funny.

From what I understand (and I'm not expert, just going off some of the stuff I have read) he got money from the TPB guys and they helped him raise money for the movie. They also agreed to give him access and help him make the money, so long as they had some say in the distribution.

So the TPB makes money by giving people access to other people's copyrighted works and telling people how to use torrents. This guy is affiliated with them and now that he has a work that he would like to make money with he doesn't want you doing exactly what TPB has been doing all along.

The irony spans across multiple levels. One of them being the delusion that he's created something people could use for profit.

people pirate stuff because they want something for nothing

then you have these douchebags who try and justify it so they can sleep at night. id respect them more if they just said: "look, i only have so much money, but i want microsoft office elite 5012. and its much easier to download it than to pay whats asked by the people who made it. i am stealing it from those who spent many hours creating it"

but nope, its all a conspiracy and the little man is suffering and such.

I agree. If someone just said they wanted something but either didn't want to pay for it couldn't afford to pay for it at least they would be being honest. I love the ones who think they are revolutionaries striking back at the big media companies or those who claim to believe that everything online should be free.

I think my favorite excuse is when someone says, "But I wouldn't have bought it to begin with." Fine. If you would have never bought it that is one thing, the person who created gets nothing from you. But it doesn't change the fact that when you download it you now own it and the person who created it still has nothing from you.

Spot on. The sad part is that I think they do it to protect their ability to keep doing it. Its not about whats important, which is less internet regulation, its more about the fear of not getting microsoft 5012 for free anymore. Thats the impression i get.
