You all are theives. This week a friend told me how he would pay for a service that gave him better selection than the peer-to-peer theives rings. When I asked if he would pay if the theives had equivalent service...

A CD is something that one might want to listen to hundrends of times in his lifetime. That's why there is a movie rental industry and not a CD rental one. That means that since the average spectator will only want to see the film once, he will gladly pay 7 Euro to a cinema or 1,5 Euro to a DVD/VHS rental rather than pirate it (asuming that pirating will cost him less money than that, which isn't the case yet) just because he won't need to keep a copy of the film afterwards.
I usually watch movies lots of times... Most of the movies I've bought, has been watched more than 2 times during the last 12 months...

I usually only buy two movies a year though...


About cd's:

I don't use the cd anyway, so buying songs directly from internet would be a great solution... if it wasn't for the fact PayPal doesn't work
Downloading cd's directly from the internet would solve a lot of problems (Like having to spend lots of time converting the music from the cd to mp3)
