[QUOTE="EverSoar, post: 108719, member: 576"] I really don't think its that big of a problem. Record labels, and WoTC are not out of money, because they released one cd/book, and now everyone around the world has it on cd. Its just not that much of an issue. Sure companies would be losing money. but i think its fair game, the companies are only out to make money, they care not if they dupe us into believing that something is a lot different to what it is. The issue of trying before you buy, only makes it more prevalent for the companies to dish out, 'quality'. I will always buy a decent product. Despite my having used p2p software for many years, i have bought many albums, and bought many a 3e book. It hasn't stopped my spending money. Just as i'm sure it hasn't stopped for a lot of people. As for morals, just because its illegal, DOES NOT make it morally wrong. I'm not gonna debate morals, but I think my giving money to a company and recieving a product i'm unhappy with, is hardly good business. Most of my friends download music, but its only ever a few songs. With the exception of one, he download the entire album, then went out and bought it the first day it came out. Depsite being able to burn it. p2p doesn't put companies out of money, but it is a breach of copyright and distribution laws. But you are not going to be rid of it, so companies may as well embrace it, and use it as a preview method. Cause thats what it is to me. [/QUOTE]
