Cleanup, NPOV, Rename

This article is currently of terrible quality and highly POV. It already has the cleanup header; I'm additionally marking it with the NPOV header. The first thing it needs is a rename, which I'll attempt shortly. - Korpios 21:40, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Moved from Music and film piracy to Copyright infringement of audio-visual works, a NPOV term (and keeping in line with the other articles on copyright infringement). - Korpios 21:48, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Changed NPOV header to TotallyDisputed, as accuracy of article is highly questionable at the moment. - Korpios 22:24, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, this article needs some serious cleaning up. I think it would benefit from merging with Movie release types as it deals with similar issues as "first" part of this article. S33k3r 16:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, much of what's here is not useful. A proposed article is in the works at User:IntrigueBlue/Piracy (information), of which this might make a good subpage, in parallel with Copyright infringement of software. — Catherine\talk 23:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's also biased. I like the end, 'stealing is wrong' how about this to balance it out?

This is not stealing in most peoples eyes as you are not taking something away from somebody. If you steal a car the owner can't drive that car anymore, it's stolen, gone. If you cloned that same car you are not preventing the owner from using the original. Making a copy is not stealing because the original is still there. Selling copies for money is totally different. Regardless of your view on this the music/movie industry will never be able to stop this, ever. They can only make examples.

Use of the word pirate

The box for the different type of unauthorized movie coping uses the word pirate. For example, see "Cam (Bootleg)" I'm new to wikipedia and I don't know were to put this, but I'm pretty sure pirate/piracy is the wrong term.

Merger

I suggest we do not merge this. MrMacMan 18:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Don't merge. Pirated movie release types is it's own subject.
