I could not help but to remember the old Napster and the feeding frenzy that resulted from the service which enabled users around the world to download virtually any song in blazing speed.
I think I was using dial-up back then. Although that was considered "blazing" for the time.
The music and movie industry as a whole needs to catch up with the times and stop using their outdated business model.
The only thing different between "pirating" music/movies and going over to a friends to enjoy it is that they now have a metric to base their failure off of.
Think about it. They were not able to track who "borrowed" what before P2P came about. Now if something doesn't sell as well as they were hoping, it was the "pirates" fault.
MW3 sells over $400,000,000 in the first 24 hours. How much were they banking on?
