Do you want that piracy should be completely banned?

I know that it is tempting, but what you are doing is STEALING! Sure you are benefitting from downloading pirated games, music and movies. What you are doing is just making everything cost a lot more and costing other people jobs. I'm not perfect, I have taken stuff that isn't mine before. The way I look at it is if I want something and can't afford it now, I have something to look forward to getting later. I like to get myself little gifts every now and then. A new movie or CD is exciting to get and I know that by buying it, I EARNED IT! If everyone pirted/stole everything, the game makers, musicians and actors would stop producing new games, albums and movies because they couldn't make any money. How boring would it be if there wasn't any new stuff coming out anymore. That would make the economy even worse because of all the lost production, distribution, and retail jobs that are involved in getting these products to the consumers. That means even more people who can't afford a roof over their families heads or food to feed them. How would you feel if someone broke into your house and took everything that was rightfully yours? That's what you are doing to other people. MAN UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE!

Should we assume, then, that 94% of Indians are criminals? Or are you just another one of your race who is giving Indians a bad name in the world? Honesty suggests that if you can't afford something, you cannot have it. Are you surprised at all that people have to charge so much for software and music when feckless, dishonest people find ways of stealing it?

As you have rightly mentioned, more than 94% computer users do piracy. It is not possible to eradicate the piracy in India, reason being India is a democratic country. Of course if the music and film companies, try to bring in affordable stuff, piracy can be eradicated.

mukulthegreat but you realize surely you are stealing money in a way from people whose talent is their money making skills. You have no right to take their music and games that are copyrighted. I do think it should be banned as there are legitimate places on the web where you can download free music and games too.here is the US they have come down hard on pirating like that.

Anyway you look at it, piracy is a crime. It is stealing the rights due to the creator. The world has seen the ill effects of piracy -- it cost millions of lay-offs from people working in the music and software industries, and other products affected by piracy. A lot of creators like music composers, artists, inventors do not get the royalty compensation that they should rightfully receive. How can an industry that encourages creativity sustain when it will eventually crumble due to piracy? On the other hand, the consumers benefit so much because they get a lot of stuff for free. I think this is a wake-up call to the industries -- prices should really be affordable so as to make it a win-win situation both for the industry and its consumers.

sometimes we have to pay what we have to enjoy including those contained in our pc.do bot we use something pirated. we must learn to respect other people's work.
