why dont software companies and movie studios and music producers

[Plug Drugs]

put fake torrents of their software full of malicious viruses on torrent sites and make a bunch of fake accounts praising those torrents in the comments and have a bunch of computers in their office seed the torrents, its almost genius

[blumpkin blownuts]

they do.

[Plug Drugs]

They could call that branch of their business "Offensive Loss Prevention"

[Plug Drugs]

they do.

alot of fake downloads are put out by shell companies of Big Content

and then you have sony, who even put rootkits on their retail cd's so they could spy on the people who actually paid for their shit

Which Is Why I Torrent™

[steveyos]

Popstar Madonna is known as a woman who does not mince her words.
She has used her forthright manner to try to stop online piracy of her latest album, American Life.

File-sharing networks have been flooded with fake tracks, which contain no music but instead have Madonna saying; "What the f*** do you think you are doing?"

But despite efforts to stop unauthorised copies appearing on the net before its release, the album was readily available for download on several MP3 websites last week.

[blumpkin blownuts]

yeah no kidding
only dumbasses fall for fake files

[steveyos]

she should just be happy anyone wants to listen to her horrible music

[steveyos]

Popstar Madonna is known as a faggot who does not make good music.

[rubycalaber]

wasnt there some story where the Batman: Arkham Asylam guys released a torrent of their game that didnt have the grappling hook in it so you couldnt make it past the first level or some funny troll like that

[rubycalaber]

but yeah that is how some people get cease and desist letters they have downloaded a program/movie/song literally uploaded by the people who made it to catch pirates, fortunately all you have to do is check the comments since people will warn you if they got a letter off of it or realized who its from

see now that kindof shit is clever. what they really should've done is make it so you can't beat one of the last levels. if people are going to really play/view content alot they should just buy it

[steveyos]

I'm glad I found a working bioshock infinite torrent because I learned the game is absolutely horrible and I woulda killed the developers if I bought it

so maybe torrents aren't so bad, if these faggot idiots want to live......................... if they want me to buy their games, well, maybe they should stop making bad games..............

[steveyos]

I just wish there was ONE good game besdies second life, not counting warframe because it's too basic to be counted as an actual game but it's awesome and free to play so the warzone devs get money from me through in-game-purchases, that's how everything should be nowadays

[Plug Drugs]

when millionaire celebrities bitch about downloading, it just makes me want to download their songs/movies even more
Real artists want to share their art and are just happy knowing that people like and appreciate it

[steveyos]

also autodesk maya literally costs more than my new computer, are you kidding me, seriously, it's a program a .exe that installs on a computer it's not something you can live in or survive off of it's a program, no, fuck that

plus blender is free and it's the exact same thing, so my money goes to blender donation button

[blumpkin blownuts]

so maybe torrents aren't so bad, if these faggot idiots want to live......................... if they want me to buy their games, well, maybe they should stop making bad games..............

that's exactly what torrents are far, weeding through the hyped up horse shit
or getting old stuff that's obviously good, yet can't otherwise be bought from steam for $2

[steveyos]

madonna is obviously just in it for th emoney if not why does her music suck so bad lmao

[steveyos]

that's exactly what torrents are far, weeding through the hyped up shit
or getting old shit that's obviously good, yet can't otherwise be bought from steam for $2

yeah so they need to not pull that arkham asylum stunt, let me download the game and hate it then not have to go on a murder spree because I wasted money

plus they got more money than I do that's for sure they can suck my dicks

[steveyos]

humble bundle is a good idea I bought one once then I realized I hated every single game in the list I can't even remember what game I bought it for but I ended up hating but but at least I only spent a few dollars and I gave like 99% of it to chairty and more of it ot the humble bundle website than the game developers that's alright with me but anyway there's no good games, there's no good music any more either, and movies/tv always is gay whatever fuck all this at least there's fjs

Also why are games 70 dollars these days, I want to know where along the line it cost 70 dollars to burn a piece of software to a DVD and ship it to a store; or these days, how did it cost 70 dollars to upload the game to the steam store?
Promotion for a game doesn't cost that much these days; developing the games doesn't cost that much these days (there are thousands of unemployed "game developers" fresh out of community college absolutely desperate for a job).

I can't help but get the feeling that a large chunk of that 70 dollars goes towards hookers and cocaine for company CEOs

[steveyos]

that's why everyone should invest in me, if I were running a company for everything in existance for every appliance etc everything would be dirt cheap because I'd only make a penny a year off the entire thing instead of trillions because the good rich people of the world would just buy me whatever I wanted

[steveyos]

and it would all be atom for atom the highest quality possible

[Plug Drugs]

but yeah that is how some people get cease and desist letters they have downloaded a program/movie/song literally uploaded by the people who made it to catch pirates, fortunately all you have to do is check the comments since people will warn you if they got a letter off of it or realized who its from

we were getting like a dozen cease and desist letters a week, even after everyone agreed to not use any torrents for a month.. we started using them as coasters

Turns out the guy living on our couch was downloading high quality HD porn like "RAW ASSFUCKING CREAMPIE EXTRAVAGANZA VOL 5" (i found this out upon investigating the cease and desist letters further, and it gave a URL on the letters where you could see the name of the file in question) and was too embarrassed to tell anybody but was too much of a fiend to stop downloading it even after we told him to stop downloading torrents

[steveyos]

there's literally more sites for that stuff for free than there is anything else

yeah they should pay all the developers and the landlord and all with like thousands of copies of the game each instead of money

they do shit like that all the time, gta4 makes you drunk all the time, serious sam spawns a giant scorpion that can't be killed, even earthbound for snes would let you make it to the head guy then kill you then erase your save

they do.
