you realy think that cd,dvd,games would be cheaper if there wouldnt be piratecy ?

Yes.

Let's take mother nature and accidents out of the discussion right off the bat.

Now...look at home owner's and car insurance.

Tell me the premiums wouldn't be less if cars weren't stolen and homes broken into.

I live north of Detroit. The farther you get away from the inner city, the cheaper the insurance...(I'm not kidding, they ask if I'm north or south of 12 mile when I've priced car/home insurance, which I do yearly...shop for rates.)

Theft of anything raises the price. Pure and simple. Economics 101.

In a store, security cameras, recording equipment, security personnel all cost money..which is passed onto the consumer in the purchase price.

why would they sell somthing at a lover price if they can make more money if they seel it expesive.. and all they care about is money...

I don't think piracy has affected CD, DVD prices. They are f'n expensive because you have the revenue-sharing among so many people, especially DVDs.

You have the studio, DVD cost, actors, producers, writers, etc sharing $25-$30 DVD price.

They were expensive before piracy, and wouldn't be any cheaper if piracy stopped.

very true thats why i dont buy music you have internet radio you are set with all other bs aside the only thing worth purchasing is software and hardware music and movies come out so fast not worth the time and energy to copy them and sell them


Thus piracy only made these people push it out alot faster instead of dragging it around for months in thearters or playing the holly hell out of it on the airwaves one way or another old school tape deck or recording device it is easy to nab music

I think we've hit epic status!

I'm just going to sit back and watch samurai jack and this thread the rest of the day. Scored it at wally world for a smooth $45
