It seems that in the near future, Great Britain will squeeze Russia in the ranking of countries with the largest number of fans of pirate entertainment products. And all because the largest Internet providers and creators of the England mediaontent united with the government and decided to radically change the strategy of fighting with those who prefer to download video games, music and cinema illegally.
Starting in the spring of next year, the British adherents of torrents will not receive threats about a prison term, but letters with a warning and explanation than their actions are so bad. Well, if the conscience in a person still does not wake up, then the true English gentlemen … will simply leave a malicious pirate alone.
Participants in this so-called program of voluntary copyright notification (Voluntary Copyright Alert Programme) are convinced, they say, to cut off the Internet and close access to torrent trackers to such individuals is useless. But with the help of letters you can convey such important information, for example, to parents who have not previously paid attention to what their child is doing in the network.
Besides the company BT, Sky Broadband, Talktalk, Virgin Media, The Motion Picture Association And British Record Music Industry They sincerely believe that people for the most part are ready to fork out, if only in this case they can get what they want, convenient for them and at an affordable price. It remains only to help them make the right choice, telling where, what can you buy how much.

Personally, I did not always believe that it was bad to pirate, it was a time when I simply did not think about the fact that I was robbing someone.
At first I bought pirate discs, https://nonukcasinosites.co.uk/review/spellwin-casino/ only because in my area, there were simply no stores selling licensed products. Then, with the advent of the Internet, I began to download games from any torrents, simply because it was more convenient and more reliable, because not every pirate disk worked.
From time to time, I still bought licensed discs, but I did it only for the sake of aesthetic pleasure and the desire to collect a collection of favorite games.
And then I got to the Stopgame website.ru, where two important events happened. Firstly, thanks to the site team, I first thought about the feast from the point of view of the developers, and secondly thanks to Stopgame again, I began to actively use the Steam digital store, in which I bought almost everything I illegally downloaded.
So that the proportion of common sense is that not to punish, but to instruct the true path, there is. Only I would offer a combination of both, first one or two warnings with instructions, and then a series of punishment.
P. WITH.
Notify their parents that their children are also a good idea. It will somehow come to my mother a letter that her child was illegally downloaded by the film “Hot Medicers 11”, you see the child and thinks that it is better to legally buy films and games.
What are you buying and games all and music with films … Well, it’s easy to believe about games (because many, and I myself also buy games, but do not download), but as for the muzon and films, I am sure that you have more than one gig of this pirate rubbish XD! And in general, at the expense of these most “good” people whose majority. These very “good people” constantly lie to us! And about everything possible! They paint their game as something unreal, but in the end we get a stub of their promises (which only one WD is worth!). These very “good” people also manage to demand another $ 60! And then you begin to think … but whether I act correctly when buying their games, and not downloading? After all, they deceived me? So why don’t I do the same with them.
P.S. Of course this does not apply to all developments.
Still disrespect to someone else’s work, some do not know that they buy pirates (it happens) or believe that it is downloaded from torrents – the norm, some use torrents simply because they do not know where you can buy legally. More conscious citizens buy at Steam, but then they go to torrent and pump up due to the fact that there is no Russian language in Steam or vice versa of English. The list can be continued.
This indicates how beautiful Steam is how the digital distribution service. Thanks to Valve and their wonderful ideas, even in the CIS People buy games there of their own free will.
By the way, there is one funny story, though a little off topic … In general, in the city we have a wonderful such store “Melodik” in this store! Here you have a muzonchik and kinzo, as well as our wonderful and all your favorite gamelins! And of course, the accompanying attributes such as T -shirts … And then one day passing by this wonderful store with a friend, we noticed these very gaming T -shirts, went and while my friend sorted out colorful pieces of rags, I turned my gaze to the wall with games! There wasn’t there! Directly the dream of a gamer! And everything would be fine if not for one but! There were only pirate copies of games 120 rubles on the stands! I called out to the girl that I was at the box office and asked: “Do you have licensed wheels?"To which the girl, widely opening my eyes, answered:" This is licensed wheels "; And then I already opened my eyes wide! After which he told her that this was not a license at all, but a pirate copy of the game. The girl was slightly puzzled, but after a moment she found and said: “No! This is a license! Or rather, this is a single -user licensed copy of the game!"And here I specifically fell out! Since I have not heard this in a store in one store … Therefore, ask: “And what is the difference?"; To which she answered: "Differs in the fact that this version of the game goes in offlan and was made specifically for people with the absence of the Internet" I could not restrain myself, neighing … Later I tried to convince it for a long time, but the person was simply impenetrable! as if her brains were washed! And in the end, I left this gystalous business and asked: “And you have multi -user licensing versions of the game?"To which she answered me: no, our store is distributed only by single -voltage licenses of games! After these, I looked at the music and films, they were also pirate as everything in the store ..
P.S. A friend bought a stalker T -shirt and she also turned out to be extremely low -quality.
I talked with the pirates and once actively downloaded the torrents myself and I can safely say: if the outbuilder of the electronic seas does not want to re-educate, then it will not work out to re-educate him. The more the reason for piracy is usually deeper than a banal thirst for freebie.
I wrote beautifully, but I’ll ask something!
And you buy music and films too?
Just personally, I doubt that even more than 90% of users buy them) I think everything is the same as me) I listen only in contact) and I download films from torrent
But the games … I don’t know for some reason, for some reason I began to buy all the games in Steam … I don’t even know why)) but I forgot when the game spided the last time)
Your old grandmother plants, waters, and then digs potatoes and goes to the market to sell it. A man comes up to her in the market and says “I work for the benefit of all humanity and therefore I can take everything from you for nothing” how you will react when you see it?
Yes it will not take root anywhere.
Digital content, it is easily accessible. He is hardly monitored, he constantly moves from one place to another. The rules of the usual market are not applicable to it, because if you transfer it to realities, you should imagine the usual market where people sell themselves, sell food, clothes, and so on and so on and so on, where a couple of people are inaudible to all the same things as others with small flaws and simply give them to people. Of course, people will take those things that they are lying on the shelves for free, because they are free because it is the same as others, only for free. Perhaps some, more conservative people, will be cautiously referring to this principle of distribution, but the main part will quite actively use the second market, even if there are socks, panties or have a bite to eat what. Then you get this thing, calmly copy it and distribute it, and so on, according to the principle of network marketing.
It’s just easy and accessible and people do not understand what prevents them from enjoying the copied “pineapple” (game) or “cowards” (music).
The digital era needs its own rules and their principles, as well as morality.
But of course, for me personally, the most idiotic part is still that some under the pretext of “this is bad thing” want to get it for the Darma.
Ours would add that due to the fact that their child is pumping from torrent, he has poor performance at school; Or because of this, one squirrel dies, for each download (I don’t know why the squirrel is just the first thing that came to mind). True, knowing his parents, he will soon believe in the first.
Piracy is the lot of young. The fact that you do not pay the developer and, therefore, steal profit from good people who in most cases make their games with the soul (not counting branded/codes and BF today). This comes with age, I also once pirated, but a little later the understanding of this misconduct crushed more and more in my already sore conscience, and so I began to buy games. There are of course exceptions when you download the game from the torrent and you know for sure that you will take it only money will appear or the sale will begin. Or a more old option, when you bought the game for a very long time and then you don’t intend to pay twice for the same thing – you are downloading, this is also (but now it is no longer relevant, everything is attached to Steam, etc.p.).
