gideongallery...

do you know what I find amusing about you, except for your half knowledge of english and how the world works? This:

I used to live in the conditions you speak of. There was no copyright. You could copy the newest films, music, software and put up a card board box and sell it in front of a police station nobody would give a fuck. Your dream basically LOL.

The problem?

Well it only lead to monopoly. You see all the smaller artists and the not so successful ones went under right away. No profit= find new job. All the big artists were forced to work for TV stations for pennies + with the vacuum created with the vanishing of the old stars came instant TV "just add water" stars and ALL under the complete monopoly of the TV stations. One of these new "stars" lives in my street in a 200$/month apartment and takes the bus to work just to demonstrate how good your model is.

You once posted a thread "if you cant compete with free you cant compete period", being your usual half knowledge half educated self, you did not take in to account that authors are not traffic wizards and internet gurus so they can't really fight for traffic and "compete" with shit. The title of your thread should have been "If you can't compete with free you are not a traffic guru who can make $ inspite of thieves and free loading fucktards."

No copyright = monopoly, end of story. This is a real life example not some second hand toilet paper gideon theory.

It happened in music, all the music stars were forced to sign humiliating contracts with the TV stations because this is all the money they could get, their shit was being sold free on the streets, concerts don't make enough money and they cost a lot.

This happened in film, all the quality production went under right away because nobody went to the theaters because you could get the movie for pennies on the street...so all the new movies were super low budget super crap TV releases that could not be pirated simply because they had no value at all...

This happened in literature, you could not sell a book because photocopies were cheaper, it was so ridiculous at one time you could buy jamie olivers cook book printed 4 pages in one to save paper LOL...nobody published books during this period....

This happened in medicine...no copyright means cheap knock offs...

This happened with food....ever tried millka chocholate with 2 L-s?

This happned with clothes...domestic brands were demolished by fake china crap...

But the most important effect is that it all lead to a complete devaluation of many profitable industries that employed 100.000s of people. It rewarded the rich and powerful media giants. For what? So that cheap shit guy fawkes mask wearing gideons could enjoy free porn in their mommas basement.


How amusing is it to me that you fight against monopoly LOL but you are in fact fighting for it.

Can you imagine how amusing you are to me? You champion a cause that you can not even theoretically achieve with your solution. You are fighting cancer with tobacco LOL. You are monopolies best friend and you do not realize it at all...

You redefine the meaning of the word loser. Go get some english lessons at least then people will think you invested some time in something instead of half assing your way through life....
