nowadays almost every software, games, and mp3 is available for download, one place or another on the web, programs worth thousands of dollars can be found and illegaly downloaded for free, what WILL eventually happen, cause it is a fact that INTERNET gets faster adn faster every year, it will always get faster, better, and there will be more people using it, as I said u can download about anything, in alot of years you will also actually be able to download Hardware, in terms of Nanomachines...

and when internet is growing and growing, what will happen to all those who develop those applications and music programs, not to talk about all those producers and record companies, those mentioned will eventually go DOWN to a big FALL, to a point where it no reason to make new programs, no reason to release new music, cause there is no market for it, at one point that WILL happen, cause the stream of illegal music, appz and games are flowing around everywhere in those big time "peer 2 peer" file sharing programs, like Kazaa, DC++, Soulseek, e-mule etc... those NEEDS to be shut down to stop atleast SOME of the illegal flow..

and when the web gets so fast that u easily can download a whole movie in a couple of hours, even the movie buisness is gonna fall... and who is the winner of all this, yes!, that is microsoft and other computer based buisness..

when CAN we perdict a fall?

any thoughts about this?

Nanomachines.... everyone alive today will die before that happens
The producers.... them figuring out better ways to make their software/productions more resistant to piracy coupled with a good portion of the population NOT using p2p and purchasing everything will keep them alive
Movies.... they have been huge for more than 75 years; people won't going to theaters

there is a difference between seeing a movie on your computer and on a big screen.....there is not a difference between a song or game you download...


this should probably have been posted in cor...

As technology changes, so will industry and commerce. I agree that the changing face of the Internet world makes it harder for traditional industries to do business. Now they resist; eventually they will embrace this change and adapt. Look at the recording industries. Much gnashing of teeth of late. What will happen eventually? Probably the elimination of record labels. Who needs them? They just take all the artists' money. One day nobody will be "signed" but will release all their music online, available for purchase and download.

unfortunately, al ot of these pre-release things get leaked into the scene by backstabbers, a producer sends it to a so called internet friend and the next thing you know its "out there".

I know I used to be a part of it all but I can honestly say I havent downloaded any "rips" from groups in a long long time. I only ever download ASOT rips from a friend from Holland who records them via digital radio, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, I burn the mix to CD and listen to it non-stop in my car, got about 30 ASOT episodes in my car now its wonderful to listen to when your driving about, Probspot - Foreplay especially in this weather!

As for mp3 scene and others, I feel that the gaming scene has died quite a lot, a lot less stuff is being leaked around which is good. I cant imagine how annoyed a producer is when something gets leaked out before the retail date and it affects sales, you can say what u like about me when I used to be a "member" but I've worked out that I've spent over £17,500 on records in the last 5 years, I've bought everything I have ever released.

Anyhow, thats why I left 11 months ago, because of the collapse of Lightning Records, my favourite main label, it made me think twice and I am completely against it now, and I truthfully have not downloaded anything but ASOT and old stuff from pre 2004 that I had on vinyl that I sold or whatever.

Cheers,

Yes there is. The quality for one. And the fact of actually having a record in your hands is something that can't be replaced by mp3s. I know that I've been buying a lot more records ever since I started downloading mp3s than I did before...

This has been discussed a million times though... copying music to c-cassettes was supposed to kill music industry. Copying movies to VHS's was going to kill the movie industry. Yet both are making more money today than they ever were.

And what about games then? Back when I was a kid everything was copied from others. I bet some of us didn't even know you could actually buy games let alone know it was illegal. Nowadays games take years to write and they're done on budgets larger than some movies.
I feel the gaming industry needs to go back to the basics and focus on the quality/originality of the game instead of doing another rehash of a shoot-em-up with ever so slightly better graphics and physics engine...
