Imagine Getting Something for Free. Free Downloads, Free Music, Free Applications, Free Anti-virus Software, Free Porn, Free Web Hosting, Free Ads, Free Myspace Page, Free Ringtones, Free Games, Free Online Chat, Free Blog, Free Internet, Free Google Search.

 

Freedom of choice, with a cost.

When you download something, is it free?

Music: sign up, view ads, cheap, low quality, corrupt files.

Images: low resolution, low quality, unprintable, sign up, view ads, corrupt files, watermarks

Movies: low quality, corporate lawsuit, ads, corrupt files.

Peer to Peer: download at your own risk, viruses, Trojan, Spyware. At risk Every time you log onto the internet.

Free isn’t necessarily free. A typical Google search on a desktop computer produces about 7g of CO2, multiply that by billions of people…

 

Consider what you are not getting when you pirate a song:

An authentic CD with Stereo quality, A tangible object, a collectible, Lyrics, Pride of ownership.

The Argument to this? The Record and Movie industries print twice as many CD’s and DVD’s as they will sell. They write off this expense with profits from the ones that do sell and throw the rest in the trash.

Every month approximately 100,000 pounds of CDs become obsolete (outdated, useless, or unwanted. By focusing on more economic means of selling a product, these industries can save money and promote a less wasteful form of distributing their product.

Trust.

If these industries provide a product that is of a higher quality then what is available for free and a safe site to download, then the options look much sweeter than risking your computer.
