P2PUnite

There has been many whispers on the internet that there is some musicians out there that are encouraging users of P2P to continue to use the services out there. Of course there has not been any musician of great popularity.

I think that P2P will always continue to thrive and there will always be people out there that will continue to decrypt the encryption on DVD's and online Music Downloads. Not because they are bad people that want to screw it to the Movie industry. The primary reason is that they want to show that it can be done and that there is really no need for these restriction on digital media.

I say that there is no need because, if the music and movie industry really wanted to curb the use of P2P and DVD copying they should lower the prices of CD's and DVD's. You can buy 100 CD-R for half the price of one music CD that only has three maybe if you are lucky 4 songs that you really want to listen to. You can go on the internet, download 18 or more songs and burn them to a CD that you would listen more often then one that you would buy at the store. I know that this has been said before, but I have solution:

People want to download songs, so let them. Change the price from 99 cents to 25 cents a song and allow them to use them on as many PC's and/or MP3 players as they want. Let them burn them to CD's. Now you can lower the price of the CD's at the store to 9 dollars or less. To make sure that they are quality CD is to limit over exposure of the artists. I mean really how many times do you have to hear the new Lindsey Lohan single before you want to blow your head off for singing along. I would also make sure that the songs that are put on the CD are quality songs. If you don't think that it will do good on the radio then don't bother putting on the CD. Sometimes the songs are so bad I think the artist should be paying the public for polluting the air with crappy music.

Now on to the movie industry. If there isn't a bigger hoe then movie industry then some please point them out to me twistedf47e(@)gmail.com. One good example of the movie industry being the hoe I'm talking about is the movie The Blair Witch Project. It was a unique, it was even scary at some points. Although now I think about it; they weren't running away from the Blair Witch, it was more like they were running scared after they found out there was a sequel. Anyway the movie industry beat that dead horse for everything it was worth. For a year that is all you heard was Blair Witch this, Blair Witch that. Then they came out with what was the worst sequel known to mankind up to this point. So not only are you roped into seeing the first one then you had to see the second one to see if it was as good. If I had a knife that day in the theater I would have stabbed my self in the eyes to save me agony of seeing that movie.

So how do we solve this ongoing problem shitty movies and pirating DVD's. Well its quite simple actually, go back to the old days when movies took years to release. This will give them plenty of time to get a good script and cast to make it right. Second if you go to the theater to see a movie, then you should get a certificate or something to that effect that says that you seen this particular movie at the theater. Then when the DVD comes out you go to your Walmart or wherever you buy your movies and hand them your certificate. This will give 5 dollars off the price of the DVD. Now don't go raising the price of the DVD's to make up the difference and of course don't raise the prices at the theaters either. God knows you have pay with your left arm and your first born just to get into a theater nowadays.

This will be two fold, first people will go to theaters more because they know that if they pay for it now they can get a better deal on the DVD later. People will always want the DVD's even if they have seen the movie once already. Second the cheaper you make it the less people will want to pirate because they really want the case and the special features that come with the DVD's but they don't want to pay out the nose for one. Make it cheaper, make easier and the people will respond.

OH! Man I just thought of a bigger hoe then movie industry..... Microsoft. Since I guess I could be conveyed as the pimp, then the appropriate thing to say is:

"I will slap that hoe around another day".


Thank you come again
