What makes him feel entitled is that he can do it without fearing retribution. It’s basically extortion. Gimme for $0.30 or I’m just not gonna pay anything and you try and catch me.
I’m always a bit confused, though, about Americans being so willing to torrent. I thought the costs if you are caught are crippling in the US – basically life destroying? I don’t think I would want to risk that but maybe I’m just misinformed.
- Jach 15y agoI assume most people feel that p(getting caught) is small enough to eliminate most of the negative utility that a conviction would carry in their expected utility calculations. What I'd like to see tested in court: we can record things on t.v. with a VCR for a private version, right? Could we record what Netflix displays, in this case TNG? Is this any different from torrenting a copy of the content, instead of recording, if you have a Netflix subscription?
