Meh... cutting piracy should be at the marketing level. After all, what gets pirated are mainly entertainment goods. If someone can't get a movie/book/magazine for free... well, a pity but is not a direct reason to buy it.

They could have used the money wasted on trying to stop piracy.

No, it's the oposite way. If piracy leads to sales, reducing piracy reduces sales. Which is what happened.

You can also blame the companies that advertize on pirate sites, and the companies that manufacture the hardware that stores the pirated content.

If they do it on purpose, of course you should. Though quite often they don't even know about it, since much of the online ads are placed automatically. Still someone is responsible that the ads are there. And they should make sure that such people receive no support and that every advertiser will stay away.

there's really no way to track it but i'd bet my arm the secondary market is seeing increased sales. maybe instead of buying it new or pirating people are just buying their entertainments used. i've had decent success selling my own goods through amazon lately, i'm sure i'm not alone. i buy all my books from the publisher Pyr used. i don't have the $10-$15 to take a chance on first time authors and their books are only available in ebook and trade. if i can get a book for $1 in 'like new' condition as opposed to $15, i'm going for it.

Also, music has been one of those things for which I've never needed to dedicate lots of money. The radio, youtube, and buskers and so many various places to hear music. Also my own time for the instruments I play. I enjoy listening to myself and practicing.

My husband and I have recently enjoyed discovering new (to us) musicians via the NPR tinydesk concerts we view too.

I think where I have spent the most money is for my oldest daughter who loves J-pop, and various flavours of Asian music. So over the years, YesAsia has gotten a lot of money from me to build her collection. The other children like to listen to mostly things they hear on the radio or borrow from the library.

I love the French as individuals.
It was my honor to once transport members of the Legion.
The French women can only be described as "incredibly breathtakingly awesome."

That said, they have some of the strangest laws imaginable all to protect the privacy of the individual, and now they are doing this?

One man that I knew, liked to shout out on matters like this, and I can't do it justice or even spell it like it was spoken or show the incredulous look on his face when he got stupid orders.

This point seems a bit more relevant to discussions the war on drugs. I'm not saying that money is, or is not, wasted, just that we can agree a lot of money is spent there. At least in comparison, it seems to me that the money spent trying to stop piracy is minute.

Does anyone have statistics on how many people in the world are currently guests of the state -- any state -- because of pirating purely digital goods? I'm going to make a wild guess and say it's less than triple digits. Maybe a lot less. As it should be.

And how big is the squad who took down Dotcom?

Hehe, good one.

To tell the truth, when one has 5 children, it gets hard to buy every musician I like, but I do enjoy quite a bit of new music, but not enough to have it jamming on my Clip 24/7

Except money isn't just spent on jailing people. Money is also spent indirectly by ISPs that need to comply with laws that require them to monitor, and in setting up and maintaining government bureaucracy to monitor for and send out letters in relation to infringement. There's also a loss to the citizens who end up having to pay taxes to support this scheme and defend against false accusations of infringement.

If the law imposes a compliance burden and tax burden on citizens and seemingly benefits no one, one has to wonder exactly what the point is.

I was thinking this part would more than pay for itself, by reducing internet traffic. The sorts of pirates likely to be caught are those who download masses of large files, perhaps more than they will ever be able to read, view, or listen to -- thus slowing down my own tiny email and news traffic.

There is a possibility that I will have to pay a few cents to lock up the likes of Dotcom -- who, if guilty, I hope gets a fine and probation. But if you are talking about the coming cooperation between ISP's and copyright holders, that doesn't come out of taxes.

As for false accusations, the same can happen when someone is mistakenly accused of shoplifting a book that would otherwise be remaindered and pulped. You can never reduce wrongdoing if there is absolute zero tolerance for mistaken accusations. Now, if false accusations seem to be common, I might change my mind, but I want to see some evidence first.

Transferring the compliance cost from the owner's budget to the ISP and public budget, leaving funds available to pay the costs of the next copyright extension and/or new DRM brain fart.

Oh I still buy lots of new music and hardly ever listen to old music. Well apart from the Sex Pistols and Johnny Cash.

It has always been young people that listened to music more than us older folk so if music consumption is down look to the youth, not me.

I meant that the music now must not be appealing to the market segment that in the past was the biggest consumer of music. The youth

Those pirates make up a small portion of an ISP users so: (i) aren't slowing down your connection one iota; and (ii) the marginal cost of bandwidth is tiny for ISPs, so given the small numbers involved, would likely not "more than pay for itself" or even register as much of a blip on an ISPs radar - legal services like Hulu and Netflix use vastly more of an ISPs bandwidth.

Honestly, maybe you should stick to facts rather than just blue-skying.

The costs of taking down Kim Dotcom is irrelevant to this discussion. I don't know what "the coming cooperation between ISP's [sic] and copyrightholders" is coming from and it doesn't seem relevant to a discussion on 3-strike laws, but greater enforcement requires more taxpayer money; laws typically aren't freebies. The ISPs in the U.S. are pursuing agreements with ISPs, but that's not what we're talking about.

You've grossly missed my point. My point was that false-accusations have a cost, and if people are paying that cost for no benefit (i.e. 3-strikes laws failing to increase sales), then one has to wonder what the point of the system is.

If I periodically took $20 out of my wallet and threw it in the garbage, you'd probably think I was nuts. Effectively, French government is doing exactly that if it's shown that this law is of no benefit.

I don't know about that, the nostalgia market has always been big too. When you're young you can't really afford to buy much music, it's the people in their late 30s/40s with disposable income to spend.

I used to buy much more music when I was younger. Now I'm in my late 30s and I don't care that much for music anymore - in general. So I rarely buy music. But I was always more interested in books anyway.

But I do remember that I quite a bit of my income/allowance when I was a younger. And if I couldn't afford music, I got tapes from the library or listened to and recorded music from the radio, listened to my fathers old vinyl records or tapes or got music as birthday and Christmas presents from my parents.

My parents never bought music for themselves as far as I recall.

The thing about turning out like your parents is pretty good though. My father loved music and never stopped adding new music to his collection until he died. I seem to be going the same way
