Why illegal downloading content makes a person not a pirate, a thief

Why do people download illegal content
Pirates thousand excuses, and almost all do not stand up to scrutiny.
The fact that in the public domain, belongs to the whole world
"If I can take something for free, so I have that right."
Of course not. The fact that the distributor of pirated content to bear all the legal risks and put the content in open access does not mean that you can watch episodes online without a twinge of conscience. Seasonvar, Kinogo FreeSoft and only exist because pirates use them.
The authors do not lose anything
"The developers, musicians, filmmakers and writers a lot of money. Are they really so need a couple hundred of my rubles? "
Conditional Universal and Warner Bros. you really do not do much harm: all large corporations think through the risks. But the more vulnerable, independent and independent creators simply perish if they write books, make movies and write music, counting on money from the sale of licenses. All because of pirates.
We asked artists, writers and musicians, about how much money can be earned on the music and literature, if you do not Monetochka or Sergei Lukyanenko.
Anton ugly mug
Vocalist Moscow noise-rock band Jars. Jars acts in Moscow every couple of months, goes on tour, publishes music in strimingovyh services and physical media.
Actually I do not have such a really serious prejudice against piracy, but I can understand the musicians who are struggling with this. Our revenue from streaming so far never exceeded $ 100 per quarter. It is so small that I do not even remember the amount. Key money we get from concerts, merch sales and media: cassettes and LPs. But all this instantly eats recording, video shooting or other industrial relations. So far, it seems to me that the way to zero - this is an indicator of success for certain DIY-artist.
I must say that streaming cause me serious questions. Yes, it's a convenient way to deliver their music to the listener, but the payments it gets absolutely pathetic. Justice in this not much more than outright theft, except that it's kind of legally. Some tangible revenues from streaming are the only major actors, they are also relatively significantly be affected by piracy. A small and niche musicians will always suffer. Or will not suffer never - it depends.

The young writer, a graduate of the Literary Workshop Astvatsaturova and Smith.
The young writers of the phrase "writer earnings" is not nothing but a smile. Graduates of our literary workshop are published in the thick journals, anthologies of writers, they come out of the book - but the money for their work does not wait for anybody.
It is said that in case of success of the first book you can expect to 30-40 thousand rubles fee. Perhaps you will pay royalties on sales of circulation. Starting circulation leading publishers - plus or minus 3 000 copies, with this amount you get... well, another 30 thousand. Publisher always interested to pay a little less, do not risk it.
The novel, on which you spend a year and a half, sleepless nights, evenings and weekends, is estimated in the market as the two employees' salaries "McDuck".
A good novel can receive the award. Winner of the "Natsbesta", for example, will earn 900 thousand rubles. But victory is not guaranteed to anyone, count on this money is not worth it.
Most writers trades than can: teaching at the university, worked as a lawyer, writes screenplays... and so on. Of course, the market there are exceptions such as Sorokin and Pelevin. But even Prilepina have your own business, and Alexey Ivanov receives basic income with scripts and adaptations. In order to live in literature, it is necessary to take into account the desire audience to be able to sell themselves and serve, start dating... this is a very difficult and complex task. One talent, the quality of the prose will not do.
Literature ceases to be a profession, but it is still a vocation, so I'm not worried. If you want to make money - it is better to become a sought-after expert and businessman. People write not for profit, but because they can not write. Of course, market forces stifled talents, do not allow us to write a lot and regularly. But those of us that will overcome the difficulties eventually become strong writers, authors, Titans. And the stories we, of course, we take in our daily lives.
Draw your own conclusions.
I have no money
"Licensed content is expensive. Especially in Russia, and especially Western - there's the make and pay are used to more. "
Indeed, for a good game from a great brand for the PlayStation 4 will have to pay up to 5 thousand rubles, and the conditional Photoshop worth almost 1.5 thousand per month. But there are arguments against:
- Content becomes available, and many of the license we are cheaper. For example, now instead of buying the album for 109 rubles in iTunes you can buy a subscription to Apple Music for 169 rubles per month and listen to not only him, but all the albums in the world. And yes, in America such subscription costs $ 10 - more than 600 rubles.
- A lot of content is simply not necessary. How many films are remembered after seeing? Two, three in the last month? And how often do you listen to music? A number of books read? We do not urge to consume less content, just offer to calculate a budget that you would spend on the license movies, books and music. It may come not so much.
- Conditional Photoshop and Lightroom - tools for professionals. Builders buy screwdrivers, DJs - panels, and photographers and designers - Photoshop and Lightroom. If you do not use software as a professional, you may want to consider the budget or free alternatives, but serious toys leave to those who earn it. There is a chance that you will become a designer in the future, but you do not steal a guitar to become a musician?
Opportunity to buy legitimate content is not at all. Not all elderly people, children or, for example, science teachers, who put pirated Windows on school computers. But usually, this argument does not come from them.
The authors themselves are not against pirates
"Yes, if not for piracy, these figures no one would need not have been! Let us say thank you. "
Indeed, sometimes the authors themselves in favor of the free flow of creativity, say thanks to pirates and spread their works on non-commercial sites. By Oxxxymiron can be treated differently, but such a position, he eloquently voicedOxxxymiron on Twitter More in 2013.
Another example, which was not far to seek - the reaction of the creators of "Game of Thrones" that many viewers do not pay for access to the TV series. Portal Techdirt publishedTime Warner CEO Says Having Game Of Thrones As 'Most Pirated' Is 'Better Than An Emmy' comments directed by David Petrarca and CEO Jeff WarnerMedia Byuks. I think they're all happy.
David Petrarca
One of the directors of "Game of Thrones."
Illegal downloads "Game of Thrones" provoked a buzz around the show and did a show prosperous.
Jeff Byuks
CEO of WarnerMedia - HBO owner.
Yes, I think that "Game of Thrones" - the "spirachivaemoe" show in the world. And this title is better than the "Emmy".
Still, that's no excuse. use the content is free permissible, but only if the author himself gave all possibilities for this.
Pirated content - a self-contained product
"Voiceovers from" Fargus "brilliant. Voice Volodarsky - balm for the soul. Album Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique, built on the foreign samples, fine. Pirate radio stations broadcasting music without a license from offshore ships, changed the world. "
Yes, we, too, everything is love, but modern piracy is nothing to romanticize. It is not about creativity and talent of interpretation of another material. It is about worthless theft, bright banners, browser "Amigo" and endless "sports betting".
I will definitely buy a license, if I like a product
"Why pay for something that may not like? If it is cool, then I'll buy everything, honestly, honestly! "
Well, first, most likely, people still do not buy it. And secondly, no one did not nadkusyvaet apple in the store before you buy?
What I need, just can not buy
"I want to watch a couple of episodes of" ER "in the 1990s, and then - rare editions of" Monty Python ". And the child, "Sesame Street" show. I very much want to pay, but do not know who. "
Perhaps this is the only working excuse.
Use of licensed content uncomfortable
"I have no time to deal with these subscriptions and strimingovymi services. Inquiry into a search engine, a couple of clicks, and I watch your favorite TV series - it is much more convenient. "
With most popular services will have to work hard just once: to have an account and link a bank card. Modern pirate encounters where a large number of inconveniences: hype or, for example, unstable operating software, "kryaknut" that can be much more difficult than to buy.
Others also do
"Why do all you can, and I can not?"
Yes, too many are stealing content. And many do not steal, and to be in the second group, in our opinion, such as the right one.
What are the consequences of piracy
There is no crime without a victim. And in the case of victims of piracy are the producers of content, its consumers, and the most unfortunate, art.
The authors do not earn money
Even 10-15 years ago, the culture of legal content acquisition have been completely developed, and buy something to be honest it was not easy: the license discs sold in every town and cost many times more expensive "Piratok". It may seem that in the era of strimingovyh services and software by subscription, when most of us are accustomed to pay for something on the Internet, the situation has changed, but no.
Portal MUSO, specializing in investigations of violations copyrightreportsGlobal piracy increases throughout 2017, Muso revealsThat in 2018 the number of visits by users of pirate sites has increased in relation to the 1.6% According to 2017. Russia ranked second in the number of offenders, losing the first position of the US.
According to a studySubscription Mooching. Examining Who Really Pays for Video Streaming ServicesConducted a blog about video services strimingovyh CordCutting.com, Netflix monthly loses 192 million dollars due to the users who share your account with friends. 40 and 45 million - loss services Hulu and Amazon Prime, respectively.
annual reportIFPI: Music Consumer Insight Report International Federation of the Phonographic Industry said that every third user is listening to music illegally.
Most studies show tremendous losses of corporations due to piracy. But smaller players still worse, some companies reduce the staff and economies of others - closed, and voluntary creators single die in poverty or on the go most of the work, doing creative work on output.
Pop culture is primitive
Kinodela understand that they can only rely on the rental, letting spectacular trailers and movies unstable quality. Musicians are moving away from complex shapes and tend to be interested in listening to the first few seconds of the track until he skipnul it in the player "VKontakte". Game designers, nurtured projects for years, simply afraid to take risks. It is much easier to make the game shorter and earn money for paid content and built additions.
We are not snobs who favor elitism of art, but the presence of Arthur Pirozhkov in the tops "Yandex. Music "is not even an alarm bell and a disturbing rattling bells. Like the fact that Vladimir Medina discussesVladimir Medina and Alexander Nevsky discussed the promotion of Russian cinema abroad with the fate of Alexander Nevsky Russian cinema.
Piracy is not uniform - the sad picture of the formation were the other causes. Someone's bad taste, someone's lack of talent.
Pirates themselves consume a product of dubious quality
That's what has to be reconciled:
- advertising to songs and soap operas, and sometimes - in the middle of the series;
- games with bugs and the most sudden glitches;
- lack of timely updates and support from the manufacturer;
- likely to infect a computer or smart phone viruses.
The law punishes piracy
It all depends on what the person has done.
- If he had read the book, looked at the show, or listen to songs online, it is not threatened.
- If you downloaded something on your computer or smartphone, and the owner of the copyright somehow found out about it, he canChapter 70 of the Civil Code. Copyright (current version) demand compensation in any size. In what he wants.
- If shared pirated files or links to illegal content and even took part in a hand in the torrent network, it is serious. LawArticle 146 of the Criminal Code. Violation of copyright and related rights (current version) treats it as the use of copyrighted works and provides as a punishment of up to six years imprisonment.
