Common sense is not as common as you think.
macuser: I always find it a little funny that a $8 beer is cheap, but a $8 movie rental is causing piracy...are you serious. is beer really that expensive. First and last bear I had in 1971, Didnt know that expensive now.

MikeSkyrme: What do I think is the solution to piracy...?One thing is for ones like TVNZ to screen full series. Like just reading they played first series of Falling Skies and now stated they dont intend to buy rights to show series 2. Things like that encourage piracy as thats the only way for fans to see them. Thats where Quickflix could pick up the pieces
Remove the obstacles that prevent legal downloading of content.
Price the goods in a fair and reasonable manner.
Get tougher with the laws associated with piracy, once the two items above have been addressed. Once the reasons for illegal downloading have been addressed, there will still be an element of the general population who feel they are 'entitled' to download what they want, when they want, how they want, and not have to pay anything for it.
In any other environment, this would be called 'theft'.

These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.
The little things make the biggest difference.
System: I think its fairly simple, if the price that the user is prepared to pay out weighs the hassle that the have to go to to pirate the item then you will have a purchase otherwise they will go and download it from somewhere else.
I also believe the philosophy that a pirated item is a lost sale is false, most people that pirate the item were probably unlikely to go out and purchase it anyway, the reason why they pirated it is because they weren't prepared to pay the price for it.
SaltyNZ:oops. d**** auto correction. have to turn it offGilco2: First and last bear I had in 1971
Well, they're a protected species these days.

mattwnz: Regarding TV shows, screen the TV show immediately when it is shown in the US. I see media works are now doing this on TV 4.

Lias: Being blunt, if I was going to pay for video instead of torrenting it, I'd want it available within 24 hours of first airing anywhere in the world, I'd want it in DRM free HD, and I'd want the law to explictly allow me to do anything I wanted with MY copy of the show, including resell it, lend it, remix it, copy portions of it, parody it, etc etc.. You get the idea.
