I Can Solve The Problem Of Movie Piracy

To curb piracy you have to deal with or create.

• The distribution of DVD/VCD decrypters(Not going to happen)
• Create DVDs that cannot be burnt or duplicated by any decrypter/burner(Not going to happen)
• Sue LimeWire and win (Not going to happen)
• Get rid of Youtube(not going to happen, the video host wasn't created to support piracy)
• Make all DVD files read only(Possible)
• Install chips into DVDs that alert the police if a DVD is about to be burnt(Not going to happen for another hundred years)
• Ban DVD recorders(They come with a built in Hard drive and TV tuner) Pirates can Record Live TV transfer it to a computer and distribute the content for Good money

Piracy is not fueled by poverty. There are more illegal DVD stores in Indonesia than the whole of Africa, Software, Cds, DVDs are being pirated on every continent, because it is simply an easier and more efficient way of obtaining software/DVDs etc. Why pay for something if you don't have to. I mean without Piracy Rich people will be living in Golden houses, but thanks to piracy they are just living in Silver houses. Piracy balances the system.

Most people think that they don't pirate, but they do
Softlifting is also a crime( Borrowing your friend your new Vista Operating system, If it is single licensed is also a form of Copyright Infringement)
Taking a DVD to watch with a crowd of people Via Digital projection for a Picnic, Is also a form of Copyright Infringement

Software pirates like Myself(My ojukor Kankanfor) will remain 10steps ahead of the Law, for at least another 10 years. I Pirate because, Software infringement highlights the weakness of the "System", it is a good feeling, knowing that you have conquered an Hurdle

For more details contact me, I live in Jenson Avenue willyville. The I.P address that I use is from a library, so I'll probably be there too. Remember My name is Ojukor Kakanfor.

I'll just deny it. 

seun, you are wrong

analogue transfers always cause signal degradation

the electronics of the capture device will introduce noise that degrades the signal.

plus a tv cannot display a higher quality than its source. true, tv has a higher res  than vcd (on progressive), but it cannot introduce information that wasnt there to start with

low quality sourtce + high res display = low quality display
ANY display + analoue capture = degraded display

when you force people to use analogue transfer you have won half the battle because the copies will be of lower quality.

Yes they will.

This goes beyond theory. Do it yourself and see.

Easy experiment: use windows sound recorder to capture a WAV file from an MP3 on your IPOD connected to MIC input, then recompress to MP3. Tell me whether the difference is imperceptible.

Not so easy experiment: Get yourself a lightwave video capture card from ikeja (phillips internal electronics- vey high quality) and dump 5 minutes of your favourite DVD to a gigantic AVI file via monster composite cable (available at numetro/palms) then compress to VCD video via SUPER (google for it and download, erightsoft, uses ffmpeg and mencoder, best quality out there).

Tell me you don't see any difference and I can recommend an excellent optician.

how can you stop piracy? digital piracy is what is killing the so called industry and digital pirates are getting smarter daily.

You mean in Nigeria?  because internet is sooooooo cheap here and i am not even paying for mine ( i love wifi)
