shadowtheman Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Don't worry I wasn't disproving the need for copyrights, just stating an economic fact. In truth in Japan there is a group of individuals who believe that any thing Japan made shouldn't be in the hands of any foreign "barbarians". Its because of people like these that put copyrights to bad use. How ever a group of Japanese college students did some investigating and low and behold they found something interesting. That through only downloading and sights like you tube, manga and anime get great exposer promoting foreign sales. Yes thats right pirates actually promoted profit. Although it probably only works in this one way. Heck just read some of the previous posts, they downed a few episodes then chose to buy. About no loss for no competition thing let me put it more easily. Lets just say your a painter and you painted a great portrait. You put it up in a local gallery were people pay to see it. Some one then takes a picture and then begins to show it off. Of course the people who see this won't wanna see the real thing so you lose out. Now lets change this. Lets say that it was a Russian tourist. He takes the pick then goes back home. Then he shows it off. Your gallery isn't in Russia so his showing off your painting doesn't hurt your gallery. Instead it becomes exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sttevenish Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I support the copyrights because people need to make their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam224 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 We need to keep copyright laws because though a nuasance they are important in regulating the tv market and they also allow tv networks to make money. They do this by selling rights to a show to other companies and then selling the dvds and movies that they have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I believe that there should be a legal way to get the dvd's and blu-ray's that you've bought onto your hard drive for iPod use and as a back-up, but then this would be used to make a profit off of people.
