Be Honest, do you Torrent Everything you can?

I download a lot of movies and sometimes games from Torrent. And then I buy the original dvds of the movies I like.

Stop taking too much coke. The FBI doesn't go after people that watch movies,since its more of a civil court Issue. But if you have a website that had pirated content,then yes they would.

I was being sarcastic. It was a joke. Calm down, the last thing I want is someone punching me through my monitor.

Yep mostly. I don't mind paying for really good stuff and I also love to support small companies. But I'm not going to make someone like Bill Gates richer as he already is. As long as I'm not a millionaire too, I need my money for myself

Heh,i used to pirate everything a few months back,now concentrating on IM studies. Probably will make a thread later so you guys can get best quality movies and games later.

Everything ever besides Scrapebox and AMR

question is, why not?

You might want to use a program like 'peerblock' when dl films from tpb...just to be on the safe side.

Theoretically I do. Video games, music, movies are all of the multimedia items I would pirate. It would be a good money saver and give more money for investing in new IM ventures.

You realize the FBI monitor this forum, right?

Why do people keep admitting to all sorts of criminal activity on large public forums. It's crazy. Keep your business to yourself, folks.

I theoretically torrent. Don't worry about it man.

And what's the FBI going to do? There's tons of fraud and scams being discussed and executed on this forum that would be much more worthy to go after.

There's not "tons" of fraud and scams. This isn't a fraud/scam forum.

I'm not sure why you're asking what the FBI are going to do. They can do a whole lot. Anyone else who's talking about "fraud and scams" on a public forum is a retard.

We have a shitlist section here at bhw that's for fraudsters/scammers. We don't discuss how to scam people. I think you've mistaken bhw for some sort of shady scammer forum. This is a blackhat marketing forum. We make money using legal, blackhat techniques like scrapebox, bookmark demon, senuke, social media spam, youtube spam and other similar methods.

I don't mind talking about my downloading. Very few, if any, get convicted for torrenting in Europe anyway. Besides the burden of proof is on THEM and I have dealt with a fair amount of lawyers and cops in my life. It is actually a bit of a hobby.

So as for the question at hand. YES, I download all I can. I spend maybe 70 euro a year on cinema tickets, apart from that, all my culture is ripped. And I'm proud of it.

Yeah? Sounds like a fun hobby. I personally prefer travelling, having sex with beautiful women, and sipping mojitos on the beach myself.

Cool, good for you, bro. I'm personally proud that I make enough money to be able to give back to the economy by buying my culture.

I torrent everything I can, these big MPAA companies/Adobe/etc have enough money For movies, I do go to the cinema for the big blockbusters though.

i do only software from time to time

The fact that you guys go to the cinema's is the only thing keeping those Movie companies (you know, the one's who make Transformers and Batman and The Justice League and BIG SHIT like that) in business.

I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again....

What would happen if all of your CPA companies started DEMANDING your leads for FREE?

You would laugh in there face, right?

What would happen if they can bypass affiliates (which makes up about 90% of this forum) and just go after all those leads WITHOUT you for free?

You would stop investing in that sort of IM, correct?

Because hey, monies drying up, so time to move on.

OR.....

YOU WOULD FIGHT, COMPLAIN, AND BOYCOT THOSE CPA COMPANIES FOR NOT PAYING YOUR COMMISSIONS IN A TIMELY MANNER...

Like you all do now.

So the fact that you guys are "shocked" that Media Companies and their employees who want to keep jobs in the entertainment field are doing the same exact things you guys would do if this was CPA companies doing to you what you guys do to creative industries is a bit contridictive.

But since its in your best interest to pay as little as you can, your actions are honestly quite predictable.

But then, you shouldn't really blame Media Companies for trying to shut those companies down either.

Here's a scenario that should hit close to home for some of you guys:

What would happen if C-P-A*AED stop paying some of you guys who were driving traffic to a content locked page that had copyrighted material on it (like UFC games, NFL games, Movie Streams, etc.)? {btw, that may be coming to a CPA TOS near you!)

All of you guy would be posting threads about how fucked up that is, right?

Because it SELF INTEREST at work!!

Well, thats how it is on the creative side of reality. So don't be mad about filesharing companies getting takin to court. This is just creative people acting in their OWN self interest, since you guys will justify doing things that are also in your self interest.

Ofcourse, you guys don't care. And they know that. Hence, the bills, lawsuits, and everything else that won't stop until piracy is driven BACK underground and away from mainstream eyeballs.

INCLUDING going after CPA companies that pay for that type of traffic..........

Oh, BTW, I'm not all innocent myself. But hey, I like playing the devils advocate.

I'm also guilty of torrenting stuff myself.

But I look at things from both sides of the table.

And both are driven by self preservation.

And since you guys TALK sooooooooo much (i've covered the cons of doing this in another post) you leave yourself's open for all kinds of shit because you post HOW you do things openly.

So hence, shooting yourselves in the foot long term.

But thats another topic....
