It is quicker, simpler and safer to buy a book from Amazon than to find the illegal copy. That is the point of going after MegaUpload, TPB and so on, to make it more and more difficult to find the illegal copy. Last edited by murraypaul; 05-17-2012 at 02:30 PM. |

And once again the latest file sharing study concludes that illegal downloading in fact increases sales. This, of course, is the actual overall consensus of independent research, rather than what the OP would like it to be.

By a tiny fraction of the cost of Hadopi to French tax payers, and only on iTunes (an American company). I would be surprised if the law isn't scrapped within the next year by the new president.

Donations was just an example. You ignored the other two for some reason. And if authors make the donation option available on their website, that means that they want donations.
But without any connection to it. In 2009 music sales increased in many countries. |
