That is too funny. I bet he’s so slow that he didn’t even see it coming.

“I just find it difficult to believe that torrenters in any significant number would suddenly, and willingly, start paying for something they’re now getting for free.”

I’m not so sure. What about the recent Radiohead album that was offered to fans where they could name their own price. They could have gotten it for free or almost free, but the average paid for the download was five dollars. A very reasonable price for the product. And I think Radiohead wound up making millions on what would otherwise been leaked and downloaded.

The torrent sites represent a service the audience wants (because they created it). Offer it to them for a good price and I have doubt they will pay.

Pirates should be prosecuted for all they got, even if they end up not making the money back and most of it going to lawyers, at least they’ll seriously cripple quite a few punks living off of other people’s work

Hey I wanted one of those gigantic flat screen 150inch television set like my neighbour, but I can’t afford the gazillion dollars it cost, so should I just steal one, is just the kind of mentality some have with music and comic book downloads; I mean if I can steal it, why not stupid mentality is what makes everything so expensive these days to begin with

I’m not so sure. I imagine the goal posts would simply move: the “reasonable fee” wouldn’t be reasonable enough, or the format wouldn’t be to everyone’s liking …

If there were simply a comic downloading service for a reasonable fee, this entire debate would become a non-issue.

Ironically, as it is with all pirating, by the time corporations target the pirating method…napster, kazaa, torrent… the pirates have moved on to another method as is the case here.
Torrents are still pretty popular but anyone who’s into pirating has moved on to the next phase which will be about 4-5 years before said corporations realise what that is.
