That's an excellent article (except for his delusion about internet speeds, but that's hardly a concern). The proposed "movie steam" is an obvious solution. I don't think the current generation of studio execs will ever go for it unfortunately.

that is an extremely poorly written and organized article hoodie with some very excellent points.  how the fuck does that guy get picked up by forbes?  
I do agree with his sentiment however.

[roasty]

is TPB too mainstream for you?

More than 4,500 posts, and you still don't know about The Pirate Bay?

fuck, btjunkie is out

http://btjunkie.org/goodbye.html

someone suggest some good alternative torrent sites please.

omg! :(

that was hands down my go to torrent site, always.. fuck this. i was there yesterday, i noticed i had to use the magnet links, which was odd.. 2012.

TPB is serious shit compared to btjunkie, it gave you always the best trackers.. (including tpb ofcourse)

[YO303]

You guys and your slow trackers. Russian private trackers FTW.

Not in the one i'm using at the moment. My ratio is like 0.01 or something ridiculous like that.

not to be a dick, but who is stupid enough to use public trackers these days? it's kind of like screaming to the cyberpolice that you're a criminal and that you don't want the consequences to ever be the same

ive gotten 2 dmca notices in the past 6 months, has anybody else received one of these?

I've received two over the past several years, and after the second one, have tried to play it cool enough not to get a third.

yes, and after it belongs to the universe, you cannot make any money on your shit, meaning you can't make more shit. instead, you can get a desk job, and make shit if you have spare time. good business model.

if you're careful, it's actually incredibly easy to avoid detection.

protip: don't download 'obvious' things. Downloading the latest Harry Potter / Batman / Transformers film will be more risky than downloading that Flashbulb album.

protip 2: peerblock.

I used to very well versed in demonoid, tpb, but btjunkie was my go to site for shit.

Nope, btjunkie was much better imo, found mo mainstream shit. Will see if tpb got better and also make a stop around demonoid as I haven't searched there for years.

yeah same here man

btjunkie was actually tracking tpb as well as dozen of other sites, so basically you got everything there.

but demonoid is my favorite tracker by far, interesting audio section. weird radio shows, old radio plays that sort of shit.

yes, stuff like this you just CAN'T buy anymore. so even though it is still copyrighted, should we just go ahead and download it?

or SHOULDN'T we "murder the impossible", and should we therefore let the rarities remain rare and unfindable?

i'm inclinded to say "go ahead and share the joy, fading into obscurity is worse than not making money"

[Zeffolia]

It is impossible for the common man to legally acquire the 1995 version of Twoism without dropping a grand

[iep]

then maybe the common man should respect its rarity and leave it alone until another day?

the 1995 version of Twoism is exactly the same as the version you can get now.

only difference is that the mp3s that were ripped from the record were done so at the wrong pitch.

well, so am i. conflicted, even.

i reckon there should be a very delicate line between what stuff can be downloaded and what not.

don't murder the impossible, at least not all of it, because you'll kill the mystery and adventure too :(

That's like saying art wouldn't exist if people didn't always get paid for it and that is simply not true. People will make art for the love of art itself, which I"m pretty sure is how art began in the first place.

679$ is less than 1000$, I believe. Or you referred to some other currency?

23 seconds
2+3=6

That seller only has 2 feedback

Doubt you'll receive it.

Typically costs more elsewhere and from people with more than 2 feedback.

679$ is quite a big sum in my opinion. Also, check here: http://www.discogs.c...ing-Price/11450, under number 23.
740$ is not much greater than 679$.
