Pirate bay fruits get year in jail

[garbon]

What's the average price for a CD in the U.S.? Over here it's usually between 14-16 EUR at release. Which is about the same what a newly released DVD movie costs (talking mainstream, not arthouse or niche which are usually more expensive). At that pricing the DVD always wins in my case in value for money.

Well I typically pay like $14-15 for the cds I buy. That might be near what DVDs cost, I don't know as I usually don't buy them - although I think I've paid between 16 and 20.  Either way, I'd think a cd would win in terms of value for me, because although I might watch a dvd movie a few times, I'm going to be wearing that cd out!

That's the interesting part. Over here (Canada, the USA) we say CDs are too expensive. Yet they are at least HALF of what they cost in Europe.
In fact it's probably cheaper for you euros to head over to amazon.com or amazon.ca and buy your CDs from there.

I don't know about music but when it comes to games, prices are at least 3 times more expensive in Spain, taking median salaries and the $1 = 1€ conversion into account. In other words, it costs around $150 to buy a new game. And then they wonder why piracy is rampant.

I buy single songs or albums off Amazon's mp3 download service.

Why would you take salaries into account?  Just because Europeans are less productive and thus rewarded less richly doesn't mean that they should enjoy subsidized goods.

Correct. So they enjoy thsoe goods for free instead. Great thinking.

So shouldn't the solution be to lobby the United States to declare war on Spain?

[Iormlund]

Hehe. They would have to find it on a map first. And recall one of their BBs to be sunk in port, which is all BBs were ever good for anyway

Everything you say is a lie.  Your third world country could never sink a BB, unless it was your own.  Even then, it would be sunk through incompetance and disrepair.

Does the US really need to spank Spain again?

[katmai]

I know some Spanish girls who i wouldn't mind spanking.

We just need to take your your telecommunications. We wouldn't care if you lived, once you were no longer stealing.

Still, ideally they would die.
