I completly agree with the fact that so many virtual items are being stolen through illegal downloads and such. Nothing can be truly "free" in the sense that no one has to pay for anything. LEt us just appriciate the site where we can watch shows, ect. for no cost from us and hope that the pirating will become a smaller problem in the future.
You have a very good point here. However, just as GrayAddicted said, trying to convince the majority is a very difficult thing. I understand this is sort of like an information type article, but it sounds a little biased. Your point is very clear though, and it was a good attempt.
I know that. I just want to explain how and why many companies are offering their products 'for free' online, and the difference of that and downloading the same porduct.

Well done. You did a good job of not mixing around the lines that people like to step over, and make it confusing.
This isn't really related to what your article is about, but I think you would enjoy it all the same, as well as possibly give you more ideas on the subject. Larry Lessig on TED.
Make sure to watch it the whole way through, and pay special attention when he gets around to the "extremism" bit. :)

It's pretty pointless when people try to convince the masses that pirating is wrong, the majority will never listen. They find it much easier to just copy then spend money... Sorry kiddo, nice article though.
I totally agree, which is why you can go to certain sites that are "legal" you do notice commercials in between. Such as
www.hulu.com
where I watch Funimations "Mushishi" and I think there is about three or four commercials in each episode. And I know they actually post the new FMA "legally" on the site as well.
So it's really up to the individual on how much they really care to go out and find sites like that. There are a few (It's like the South Park site, it's run by the guys and is perfectly legal and they do have commericals within it).
So I just wanted to say on a last note that I think it's great that you're going out and telling people to find the legal way to go and watch/play stuff. We certainly need more people like you around.
