you and I cant do anything. It the same situation like
Apple delayed its launch of its
iPhone in india.People then went for grey market. can you justify that.
Thats a different thing. Apple hadnt said "We wont sell the iPhone in India"......so, it was not impossible to buy original, once launched. Whereas in the case of some stuff, its TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND in market.
As i said - do u get the
TV shows that i mentioned?? Do u get the Memorable Matches that i mentioned??
That wasnt the thing with iPhone or any other thing, coz iPhone was going to be officially launched at some future date.
Imagine a situation when there is no internet, no digital version of movies. then what would you do?
Thats what......when there was no Internet, these stuff werent available with anyone on the planet, except for the TV Channels themselves. And they never air those programs. U tell me, how many times is the Aus v SA match of 434 runs is being telecast these days??
It was repeated when it was new. BUT NOT NOW.
Thankfully, atleast a part of it was available via torrents, so i got that. But other vintage stuff is not there at all. Like the serial Hum Paanch and all - they rocked, but do u find it on CD/DVD?? Does Zee TV air it again??
Answers to both these questions are No.
then you would have any other option than just have to wait for release of DVD in you country.
Even i am not denying the fact that i do download other things that are available in the market. I am no Angel for that matter.
But u tell me - in case of a Movies,
Music, Games, etc - atleast 90% of the times it so happens that after i download, i watch it/listen to it/play it as the case may be.
JUST TO FIND OUT THAT I HATE THAT THING.......Just to find out that it isnt to my tastes.......
What do i do in such situations?? Do these Profit-mongering companies come forward to buy back their shit?? Or do they give refunds??
What happens in the end - U end up paying for something u dont like, & then u dont get the thing u like due:
1) Being already stung once.
2) Cant think of spending another 1000 bucks on a new game/200-300 bucks for a movie immediately, coz the wallet has already become lighter.
Whereas in downloading, its simple - u download, u like it, u keep it. U dont like it - Shift+Delete.....just the loss of Bandwidth time.
And its not like the companies cant afford selling at low prices. They very well can afford it.
Instead of showing (HIGH PRICE)x(Low Volume) SALES reduced by Piracy losses.......they can very well reduce the prices, and show (Low Price)x(HIGH VOLUME) Sales.
If they leech us that way, we leech them in this way.
