Re: Germans who watched porn on Redtube told to pay up
Sorry for the previous post. I didn't want to butt in a conversation as if it didn't existed. I just checked on what I posted yesterday without looking further, and I reacted immidiately.
I will nonetheless repeat offending. I think this link in particular, posted by Bluesoul, is intriguing and interresting. The illegal download would increase the legal sales!
Study Confirms Illegal Downloads Increase Music Sales
Written by Mike Hohnen on 22nd March, 2013
"The war against piracy has just gotten that much harder for the record label execs – a study undertaken by The European Commission Joint Research Centre has discovered a direct relation between an increase in illegal downloads and an increase in music sales.
The study shows that when illegal download activity rose by 10%, activity also rose on music purchasing sites. Sure, only by 0.2% but it’s still a rise. Then final figures were dram from a sample of 16,000 European residents over a 12-month period.
The language in the report suggests that people will be more inclined to buy the digital copies as they download “suggesting complementarities between these two modes of music consumption”, but our guess is it’s more to do with when you can’t find the right torrent anywhere and you’re forced to buy it.
The report also claims that legal streaming is also playing its part because, according to their results, “a 10% increase in clicks on legal streaming websites led to up to a 0.7% increase in clicks on legal digital purchases websites”.
It’s currently happy days for record sales, which saw their first rise in numbers since 1999, with many thanks to Adele and the tweenwave sensation. But can those awful, screaming tweens and slumbering mums sustain an entire industry? Stay tuned."

No excuse for theft- just faulty justifications.

Re: Germans who watched porn on Redtube told to pay up
I found the study cited in Hohnen's article (link below.)
It's not compelling, and the data comes from Nielsen. I have a problem with that because (from my understanding) they track the internet usage of people who agree to have their internet usage tracked. I think the Hawthorne Works studies have been revisited recently, but people who know they are being watched behave differently.
This study found no real sales displacement, but here's something that I think is true: an illegal download of a song leads to a 100% decrease in purchases of that song by that user.
Displaced.
I'll take my grant money now. We'll start a center. Someone think of a prestigious name and I'll write the mission statement.

Re: Germans who watched porn on Redtube told to pay up
I have a dumb question .Is there a way to make a dvd once it has content on it non transferable to a computer? Or make pictures and movies from the official sites non downloadable or ripable? Maybe put a line of code that makes it non downloadable? Just A thought. Also shouldn't they be going after the tube sites and bring them down?To me they seem to be the cause of the problem.
fortune favors the bold

Re: Germans who watched porn on Redtube told to pay up
Although I sympathise with much of what you say, I cannot believe that creating a virus to destroy someone's hard drive would be acceptable punishment, or legal or practical -the technology that is devised to do it could be stolen by someone else and used for different reasons to infect computers. In any case, I think the point about this story is not just the loss of income to legitimate producers, it speaks to the embarrassment issue -most men who do it would not admit to paying for sex, but it is cash, it is not recorded on a credit card or debit account bill; people who use tube sites may do so as an alternative to purchasing porn to avoid having to explain to their wife/partner/family this odd item on the bill, and that they like porn of any character. That is an explanation, not an excuse. There are now other ways of purchasing online material anonymously, such as UKASH vouchers -maybe some of the commercial sites that currently do not accept it should do so -anonymity and 'covering one's ass' is the issue for many people.
