Music Enthusiast Becomes Music Pirate – His Story
(Image is in the Public Domain)
Here's a neat story from the Consumerist about an enthusiast turned pirate and why.
I thought I was the music industry's dream consumer.
…"You don't understand," I said, "These files were not copied or pirated, I actually purchased them."
"Well" she responded, "You didn't actually purchase the files, you really purchased a license to listen to the music, and the license is very specific about how they can be played or listened to."
Now I was baffled. "Records never came with any such restrictions," I said.
She replied, "Well they were supposed to, but we weren't able to enforce those licenses back then, and now we can"
Crikey. Maybe your customers would be more loyal if you didn't abuse them?
