(and I meant "side" because the tracker is back up)

Last year it took 2 months to get the site back after the tracker came back. Thats all the info anyone knows since the site admins stay quiet about these things. #torrent

I just got today an obscure, hard to find, out of "print" japanese app-thing which I was looking for over an year now thanks to torrents!
Bit surprizing even, considering how torrents aren't exactly good for rare and obscure stuff... but it had one single lonely active seed, took almost a day for 500Mb file, but it's here now!
And no, it's not porn... or it would've been easy to find.
Also: c'mon Demonoid!

Music is so cheap now, even physical copies. And I have tons of legit video options, two of which I pay for: Cable TV, Netflix, Netflix streaming, Hulu.
The only hiccup is software - which tends to be ridiculously expensive for non-professionals who can either expense it or write it off. But whatever, I'll deal with not having CS4 Professional.

Guys, you're not looking at things 4th dimensionally here.
It's one thing to steal just because you're lazy, but imagine I download something and I like it. In this case I simply buy it. If I don't like it, I'm glad I didn't spend the money and move on. It's just a try before you buy mentality, the same as with a car. I pay for what deserves to be paid for and support who deserves to be supported.
The landscape is just different today. Music/Movie companies attempt to shovel us with all sorts of garbage these days and piracy as evolved as a way to weed out what shouldn't particularly exist in the first place. Call it Darwinian market progression if you will, but I just don't see it as wrong.

With music, if I'm considering an album, I have a plethora of pinatas available to me so as to allow sampling of the tracks before purchase, I can even purchase single tracks from an album individually. If I find I prefer to archive vast quantities of songs, I can enter into a subscription based service for a nominal monthly fee, or I can purchase physical copies used for a fraction of the retail price.
Movies are a somewhat different field, as repeat consumption on the part of the individual isn't always guarantied. Fortunately, I can still watch trailers and read any of the many reviews before purchasing a dvd or theatre ticket. If I wait, I can watch it for the cost of a rental or free on television or the internet.
Most software/games have trial or demo versions available, though a expanded landscape here would be preferred.

Imagine where we would be today if we maintained the options present to us only 5 years ago?

This would imply, that, while possibly slower, we might not have had the same degradation in user experiences due to progressively more ambitious piracy prevention software.
I suppose one could argue parallels to the stem cell debate. With embryonic stem cell approaches offering faster results while slower skin cell based methods attempting to avoid many of the ethical dilemmas inherent.

First, anything "can be argued," and DRM free mp3s are showing that the industry is now realizing that DRM isn't the solution.
Second, way to bring an unrelated and highly controversial subject (which you clearly no next to nothing about) into light and further isolate yourself from the mainstream.
Not a way to win an argument, friend.

Or perhaps he does have the bandwidth and for some reason hasn't implemented/upgraded it yet.
